Pastor Troy Under Fire For Homophobic Comments About Lil Nas X

Twitter – Pastor Troy became a trending Twitter topic on Wednesday (January 29) after some seemingly homophobic comments he made about Lil Nas X went viral.

Alongside a photo the 20-year-old artist, who attended the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in a pink cowboy getup, the D.S.G.B. rapper condemned the outfit and accused gay men having an “agenda,” while recalling a recent trip to Applebee’s with his teenage son.

“Welp, Guess I won’t be winning a GRAMMY…If this what I gotta wear,” he wrote in the caption. “They love to push this shit on Our Kids!! The other day @applebees had some punks kissing and laughing eating mozzarella sticks. First Thing My 14 yr old Son said was, ‘F**** Applebee’s’ And It Brought Joy to My Heart!! He sees it…their agenda to take the masculinity from Men, Black Men Especially.

“Some may say, ‘He Making Money!!’ Rupaul do too, but I ain’t bumping his CD!!! Integrity is Priceless. Y’all Better open that 3rd Eye and let your Sons Know What Is Real…Or They Ass Gone Be Headed Down That Old Town Road Foreal!!”
