Rapper Waka Flocka Flame has had to defend himself after making a series of inflammatory and offensive remarks against the transgender community this weekend.

Speaking to New York radio show ‘The Breakfast Club’ on Friday, the 2016 presidential candidate (seriously though) claimed that Caitlyn Jenner's transition was an “affront to god”, and that trans people were “marketing evil, man.”

“Women are afraid to be a wife and young males is afraid to be men” he told host Charlamagne Tha God. “It’s not cool, they’re not marketing that. They don’t market families and husbands and wives no more. They marketing young girls, you know what I’m saying?”

The “Hands Up” rapper, keeping up a religious invective, also accused the transgender community of doing the “devil's work”.

“Transgenders – they’re marketing evil, man... You are who you are when God made you, not who you became after he did. That’s how I just feel. You rebuking God, man. God didn’t put them feelings in you man, that’s the Devil playing tricks on your mind.” 

“That’s a test from God. If you can’t outbeat that one task and you believe that, then you’re going to believe everything else.”

For really really obvious reasons, his remarks didn't go down very well at all. With anyone. In fact, Flame found himself having to backtrack over his irresponsible comments on Saturday in a series of probs-not-as-sorry-as-you-should-be tweets, which you can read below.
