Shockg footage has emerged of XXXTentacn braggg about the time he nearly killed a gay man prison (Picture: Larry Marano/REX/Shutterstock)His murr has provoked an outpourg of grief across the rap muny and among fans of the genre. The latt of which is a clip om one of his appearanc on the No Jumper Podst back 2016 which he seemgly brags about the time he nearly beat a gay cellmate to ath while he was juvenile tentn.
XXXTentacn rells the time he almost killed a gay man wh a strange kd of nonchalance; as if he’s talkg about an animal he’s hunted down, rather than a person.
He the slur a few more tim, before clearg the air: “I am not homophobic. If a homosexual man is around me, I won’t act like a fuckg prick”. He’s spurred on by the equally homophobic -host; his well-meang sentiment renred els by the bloodthirsty and chillg vrl that follows .
