The Maybach Music Group (MMG) boss had said that he he is away from signing female rappers because he thinks he’ll end up having s*x with them and messing things up (Read HERE)
In a statement posted on Facebook, the rapper said:
I want to address an insensitive comment I made on a very sensitive issue, especially in a minority dominated industry like hipThank you to everyone who’s going through the journey with me, we coming out everyday stronger.
hop. My entire empire’s backbone is led by 2 of the strongest people I know and they happen to be women, my mother and sister. The operations wouldn’t run without them and I have the highest regard and respect for women in this industry. I have a daughter myself, my most cherished gift in the world.
My comment is not reflection of my beliefs on the issue. A mistake I regret. I hope to use my mistake, my platform and the community to create positive discussion to implement change on a very important issue. Respect for the ones who stand up to say hey that isn’t right. Now it’s time to accept responsibility and all do better.
I look forward to continue working with & supporting female artists. My discovery process was documented by vh1 on #signed which premiered last night. Many of the most talented artists you’ll see in the running to be the next #MMG superstars are female artists. I look forward to clarifying my comments through my support.
