Flying Lotus has fallen from grace – at least, as far as the internet is concerned – after making a wee bit of a sexist joke at the expense of US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
During one of his recent shows in the US, the experimental rapper-producer was filmed bantering about the forthcoming presidential race, and Clinton’s suitability for the top job.
“I couldn’t possibly vote for a woman who doesn’t give an awesome blowjob,” he jibed, referring of course to the great Lewinsky scandal AKA #Monicagate/#Zippergate from when Clinton’s hubby Bill was still prez back in 1998 (ICYMI somehow the married POTUS was also getting some BJ action on the side from White House intern Monica Lewinsky).
“I’m just kidding, I’m going to vote for her ass anyway. No lie,” Lotus continued before walking offstage:

The quip triggered a presidential backlash from the citizens of cyberspace, but FlyLo has continued to stand his ground over the wisecrack.
In a series of tweets unfurled since the comments were made, the DJ has defended himself against the so-called PC police who have branded him sexist. He’s also refused to apologise, instead claiming that he says the “depraved shit u need to hear.”

Vote Hillary
