In the words of Chris Brown: "How can you hate from outside the club? You can't even get in!"
A 42-year-old rapper by the name of Pastor Troy is being dragged on Twitter after he went on a homophobic rant attacking Lil Nas X following the 20-year-old rapper's two Grammy wins on Sunday (January 26).
"Welp, Guess I won’t be winning a GRAMMY...If this what I gotta wear," Pastor Troy captioned an Instagram photo of Lil Nas X in his Grammy outfit: a hot pink Versace suit and cowboy hat. "They love to push this sh*t on our kids!!"
Troy went on to share how he and his son recently saw a gay couple "kissing and laughing eating mozzarella sticks" in an Applebee's commercial, which set them both off. "First Thing My 14 yr old Son said was, 'F**k Applebee’s' And It Brought Joy to My Heart!!" he wrote. "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 A** Gone Be Headed Down That Old Town Road Foreal!!"
It didn't take long for Lil Nas X to get wind of the attack. However, instead of stooping to Pastor Troy's oh-so-low level, Lil Nas X hilariously clapped back on Twitter, replying to a screenshot of Troy's post: "Da*n I look good in that pic on god." He additionally posted a hilarious gif from Iyanla: Fix My Life where the show's star Iyanla Vanzant is telling a woman, "Not on my watch," which he captioned, "pastor troy when he saw 2 ni**as eating mozerella sticks."
Since his uncalled for rant, Pastor Troy has been trending on Twitter for all the wrong reasons.
Check out a few reactions to his homophobic comments below.

Can’t be homophobic and eat at Applebee’s. Pick a struggle. https://t.co/4ZNrQGQHoH

Men like Pastor Troy are so weird and outdated. If you feel like your masculinity can be "taken" because of what someone else wore or how they live their life....you never had it in the first place. pic.twitter.com/lZ1aQEtVCV
