Snoop Lion hoped an appearance on VH1's Big Morning Buzz would silence some of the uproar over recent comments he made about hip hop being “too masculine” to welcome a gay rapper. (As if there are no masculine gay men.)

Somehow, he just seemed to make the entire situation even worse.

Not everyone (male or female) can rock a skirt, but we think Kanye West pulled it off during his December 12 benefit concert in New York.

Leave it to 50 Cent to tarnish an otherwise acceptable endorsement of marriage equality with some blatant assholery.
