Flying Lotus dares to not actually apologise for ‘offensive’ joke
'The more PC and scared everyone gets, the more I love having a microphone to say some depraved sh*t u need to hear'
In 2016, it is just expected that you immediately issue a full apology after making a controversial comment, but producer Flying Lotus is sticking to his guns.
A mini-furore started last week when, while discussing how he would not be voting for Donald Trump on stage, he joked: “I couldn’t possibly vote for a woman who doesn’t give an awesome blowjob,” he joked, “I’m just kidding, I’m going to vote for her ass anyway. No lie.”
It wasn’t a funny or intelligent remark, but FLYLO stands by it in spite of a little media backlash, tweeting: “Dear journos. I will always make dirty, racist, sexist jokes as long as I live because I think it's funny. My mom raised me that way.
“I treat my fans like fam in our time together. I will continue doing so.”
He previously wrote: “The more PC and scared everyone gets, the more I love having a microphone to say some depraved shit u need to hear.”
Weathering the tirade of criticism in his mentions, he has now returned to tweeting about funk.
