Offset is in a lot of hot water over some recent lyrics in which some people interpreted as a homophobic slur. 

The lyrics in question appear on a feature to YFN Lucci’s track “Boss Life” where the lyrics are as follows. 

“Pinky ring crystal clear, 40k spent on a private Lear/60k solitaire/I cannot vibe with queers,” he raps on the track.
