TI says he won’t vote for Hillary Clinton because she’s a woman

In an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, T.I. said he couldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a woman.

“Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well”, he said. “And I sure you would hate to just set off a nuke”. He continued to argue – as prompted again by Whoo Kid – that other world leaders would struggle to negotiate with a lady (even though, hey, Angela Merkel certainly gets by, as do Park Geun-hye, Michelle Bachelet, Dilma Rousseff, and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, to name but a few current female world leaders). I think you might be able to the Loch Ness Monster elected before you could [get a woman]. But T.I. said he didn’t support Trump either because of his racist statements.

We knew when T.I. prefaced his statement with “Not to be sexist”, we knew he was undoubtedly about to say something pretty damn sexist. But the real gems are dropped around the 12 minute mark, when T.I. talks about politics and transforms into full drunk country uncle.

UPDATE: T.I. has issued an apology in regards to his comments on women in politics via his Twitter account.

“But just knowing what he’s done for business for himself, if he intends to do that for America, it would be beneficial”, he told DJ Whoo Kidd.

And as Complex points out, that exact same interview found T.I. making a deeply confounding claim about his recent Hustle Gang protege Travi$ Scott, calling him “Iggy [Azalea] in a black man’s body.” OK!

The rapper then backtracked, saying: “My comments about women running for president were unequivocally insensitive and wrong”. The rapper has served two jail sentences and been arrested multiple times on drugs, assault and weapons charges. “But I can’t cash no vote for him”, he said, according to Entertainment Weekly. Folks too sensitive as it is.
