Singer, rapper and producer T-Pain had a few words for homophobes on Twitter this week.

The "Chopped 'n' Skrewed" artist sounded off as follows:

Attention all homophobic idiots: if you’re not attractive to straight women, you’re probably not attractive to gay men. You can unclench now

— T-Pain (@TPAIN) April 16, 2013

Apparently, the comment was a reaction to recent perceptions of his assistant:

Just see a lot of ppl lookin at my assistant like “oh no better not go that way. That guy wants my butt” don’t be an idiot. Ur still fugly

Earlier this month Snoop Lion (the artist formerly known as Snoop Dogg) said he doesn't think homosexuality will ever be fully acceptable in rap music. Perhaps a heterosexual male hip-hop artist having a gay assistant may be a start.

In February, hip-hop icon, philanthropist and all-around mogul Russell Simmons said that rappers are less homophobic than before. With T-Pain's agency and A$AP Rocky's recent supportive statements, maybe rappers are gradually coming around.
