Reggae star Beenie Man is an asinine homophobe (of course, I mean this metaphorically)
Beenie Man was scheduled to be involved in some respect in the MTV Video Music Awards this weekend in Miami. However, after gay rights groups announced plans to stage a protest, MTV told him to stay home and cancelled his appearance. They were upset over the song "Queers Must Be Killed."Beenie Man reportedly issues an apology ("I offer my sincerest apologies to those who might have been offended, threatened or hurt by my songs") but that wasn't enough for VMA organizers, who didn't want anything to take away from their show.
His manager told the AP that he understood MTV's decision, but said the lyrics are merely "metaphorical."
