Did Gunner Say "Fags" On Oh Okay?

'''"Did Gunner Say 'Fags' On Oh Okay?" '''is a debunked Buzzfeed News article written on January 18th, 2019. The article alleges that on the 2018 song "Oh Okay" featuring Lil Baby and Young Thug, the rapper Gunna uses a derogatory, homophobic slur by saying "Too many fags, too many bitches" and calls for a federal investigation to determine whether or not Gunna really used that kind of language. The story was notable for starting a multi-hour media firestorm, with many calling that, if proven to be true, it would be "the beginning of the end of Gunner's career" and "evidence of rampant homophobia". Multiple U.S. senators appeared on nationally televised news programs to decry what they called "Little Baby and Young Thug's complicity in this violent, homophobic language". A statement was put out later that same day by Gunna himself debunking these claims, saying the actual line was "Too many fads, too many bitches".

This thorough denial led to embarrassment for Buzzfeed and its news subsidiary, as well as mass firings. An apology was published in place of the article, however the CEO of Buzzfeed was quoted as saying "I still think he said fags, there's no way he didn't," and the piece still led to an FBI investigation of Gunna's personal communications to determine whether or not he has used the word in any context elsewhere at any time. When polled, 42% of Americans said they believed Gunna's denial, while 58% said he definitely said fags and deserves to be "cancelled". Gunna is currently in prison.
