People soon began 'cancelling' the rapper, with others questioning his reasoning behind spitting such a lyric in 2018.
Many pointed out that Offset frequently sports designer clothing created by openly gay fashion designers, while others were surprised the line even made it through the recording process.
"I can’t even cancel Offset because I was never subscribed," wrote one exasperated user.
"Y'all are really gonna let offset get away with saying he can't vibe with queers? nah bro lmao he's a piece of sh*t for that" said another.
offset really wrote "i cannot vibe with queers", proofread that, went to the studio, recorded it, recorded ad libs over it, sent it to the producer who sent it to the label and throughout that whole process nobody thought it was a bad idea.

Offset saying he doesn’t vibe with queers while constantly wearing and PARADING clothes by gay designers is the REAL gag.

- collabed with Frank Ocean (a publically bisexual man)
-wears and brags about all these brands made by gay men e.g. Alexander Wang, Tom Ford, Gucci, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen
AND YOU CHEATED ON CARDI B BYEE
GIVE OFFSET HEAT FOR HIS “I do not vibe with queers” line. There is no room for words of oppression in a music born from oppression.

Offset gonna rap lines like “I cannot vibe with queers” but dressed in head to toe designers who are queer. He’s cancelled, sorry Cardi

Cardi was talking about "trannys" and now Offset is saying "I do not vibe with queers". If you wanna ignore homophobia and transphobia just because it comes from a POC then full offence cause you are trash and I will not stand for it https://t.co/ngqCj1mPSU

In an attempt to defend him, people suggested that Offset could have been talking about people being 'weird'.

Y’all leave my guy Offset alone! He clearly used “queers” in the “odd” or “weird” sense!! Is it still problematic? For sure. But it’s waaaay less problematic than some of y’all want it to be

Offset is yet to respond to the controversy.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta rapper recently found himself at the centre of an ongoing cheating scandal with his fiancé Cardi B amid rumours of a sex tape leak.
