 It is unclear which specific homophobic or transphobic comments or actions YG’s been called out for. It seems like YG would simply like to address any instance in which he expressed those types of comments, to clarify that those were not his intentions and that he respects and accepts the LGBTQ community. 

Many fans responded to YG’s tweet praising him for his message…

Hercules, Hercules!
Great way to start a year by acknowledging wrongs as you also indirectly teaching all these millions following u.

Don’t know u, but proud of you. Don’t stop exposing all you learn too and help make the world a safer place for everyone
