T.I. is featured on the cover of the December 2011 issue of VIBE Magazine, where the Kang makes one hell of a controversial statement that has gotten the gay community all riled up:
“Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard Tracy say during a stand-up was, ‘C’mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a d**k, you can take a joke.’ [Cracks up laughing.] That sh*t was funny to me. And it’s kind of true.’”
While T.I. makes clear that he supports anyone’s sexual preference, he then connects, in his opinion, a current oversensitivity among gay people with a consequential and ironic offense of the First Amendment. “They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ … That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace.’”
In addition to that, the rapper also talks about being skeptical about Osama Bin Laden’s death and even gets a little defensive when questioned about why his wife Tiny didn’t take the drug charge that sent him to prison for another year
