Migos Accused of Transphobia on Saturday Night Live


Earlier this year rap group Migos was forced to apologize after slamming rapper Makonnen for coming out as gay [click here if you missed that].

Now Migos are accused of kicking transgender dancers off the set for their appearance with Katy Perry on Saturday Night Live...

Various quotes found on social media claim,
"I was one of the performers on that table with them the whole time, during the rehearsal for 3 days. On the day of the filming, when I got there, I was told to leave. I wasn’t on the set at the time, but we were asking what happened. They said it was because Migos doesn’t feel comfortable with having drag queens there."
"I heard it from the stylist. They changed the queens out in the Bon Appétit number, and they didn’t seem too thrilled during rehearsal either, with us there."
"I work at SNL and the rumors are true! Migos held up rehearsal because they ‘weren’t comfortable with the drag queens’ being there. There were initially more drag queens on the set for that song, but after Migos threw a fit, Katy Perry’s team removed some of the queens from the performance."
