Sydney gay pride mural was 'despicable': Andrew Bogut

Rapper Spanian has been dropped in disgrace after appearing to compare the Pride movement with paedophilia.

Spanian alleged in a bizarre Instagram rant that “deadset paedophiles” hide behind LGBTQIA+ events and use them to further their motives.

“I’m f***ing sick of this f***ing perverted, putrid s***, like a bunch of deadset paedophiles hiding behind some f***ing gay pride,” Spanian began in the video.

“How far is this until youse are showing d**ks in the streets now?

“We’re not even men, we’re not women. We’re f***ing this, we’re that, we’re a hundred different things. Forcing it upon us. We say nothing. Everyone’s too scared to f***ing say something. Then it’s forcing it upon our kids.”

Sydney-based rapper Spanian has stirred up controversy on his Instagram account in a rant aimed at Mardi Gras celebrations.

Spanian — who has built a successful brand on YouTube speaking about his troubled past — went on to reference non-binary pronouns, arguing that they are being forced upon children.

He compared flyers promoting LGBTQIA+ events in Sydney to a recent campaign by the luxury fashion brand Balenciaga. The campaign featured pictures of children holding handbags that resembled teddy bears in bondage gear.

“It’s gotten to the point now there’s f***ing pornographic images in the streets with gay flags,” he continued.

“These times are coming to an end. All of these child groomers hiding in plain sight, the times coming to an end, I’m not coping it no more. I’m f***ing over it. I’m calling it out.

“Anytime I see any of these putrid maggots, trying to hide their little s**t, targeting kids, just like Balenciaga. It’s no f***ing different. What they doing. Sick of this s***, we’re done. The whole country is done. The whole world is done,” he continued.

He continued: “What’s next? Walk around the streets, naked yourself, masturbating?

“What else do we have to accept? Because we’re too scared to talk because you cancel everyone else. What else? What else do you want to be called? Huh? What else do you want to teach our children? F***ing sick of this. F*** ’em.”

Hip-hop artist Manu Crooks and former professional basketball player Andrew Bogut voiced their support for Spanian‘s video in the comments section.

However, Australian hip hop collective One Day responded by cutting ties with Spanian for his comments.

“Our company is no longer representing Spanian, effective immediately,” the group posted on Instagram on Monday night.

Spanian’s video was met with criticism from dozens of commenters.

“Vast majority of child sexual abuse happens from family and trusted friends. I’ts facts. This is utter bulls***,” one wrote.

“This is embarrassing,” another said.

Spanian later released what at first appeared to be an apology video, but it took a sudden turn.

“Heaps of people were really offended by what I said the other day,” he began.

”I guess what I want to say is I am sorry... for absolutely nothing, you f***ing putrid peasants.”
