Michael Rubin is receiving a lot of backlash for his comments on Black culture.
During a recent interview, Rubin expresses that he doesn’t like “Black hate on hate.” While discussing Meek Mill, Rubin says, “when I see the narrative of, a really good friend of mine like Meek, and people are trying to… Again, if he was gay — which there’s not one gay bone in his body — who cares, number one,” he said.
“If people wanna be gay, it is 2024. Who the f**k cares? Number two, there’s not a gay bone in his body, so why do people wanna lie about that? Why do people want to change the narrative of a bet he made with me to hurt him?”
He then shared his thoughts on the Black community as a whole. “That is the one thing I’ve learned about, you know, look, I’m just being blunt because it’s me,” he began. “It’s the one thing I’ve learned about Black culture that I don’t like is that Black hate on hate.”
Following the interview, Rubin began to face backlash online from many social media users- including rapper Schoolboy Q. “NO SUCH THING AS BLACK ON BLACK ANYTHING WTF..” Q tweeted.
In another tweet he says, “braH…… im cool on this app tHis sHit outta control dog..”
Rubin must’ve caught wind of the backlash as he took to X to apologize for his comments. “I got a phone call from one of the people I have the most respect for in the world,” Michael Rubin tweeted on Thursday afternoon (August 15).
“They told me while they appreciate my intention, it’s not my place to speak on Black culture. I get it and really appreciate the input! My intention was to say how important it is that we need to uplift each other, stop hate on each other, and push each other to win, and always root for each other’s success! My bad, Much love and appreciate the feedback [two heart emojis].”
