Lil Mama Apologizes
Rapper Lil Mama recently apologized for some comments she made on ‘America’s Best Dance Crew’ after she went a little too far while grilling a transgender dancer. During the rant, she said “Leiomy, come on. Your behavior … it’s unacceptable … You were born a man and you are becoming a woman. If you’re going to become a woman, act like a lady … It gets too crazy and it gets confusing.” After taking some heat due to her comments, Lil Mama sent an apology to GLAAD, saying “My remarks were never meant to be disrespectful regarding Leiomy’s gender nor offensive to the LGBT community, which has been a community that has supported me in all my endeavors. However, in hindsight, I recognize that my words may have come across as hurtful. I spoke with her privately after the taping to express that it was not my intent to offend her or any member of the transgender community and that I still live for Vogue Evolution.”
