AceShowbiz - T.I. makes it clear that he won't give his vote to Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election because she is a woman. In an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, the rapper explains why he refuses to vote for female president.
"Not to be sexist but, I can't vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman," he says. "Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president? It's kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally - they make very permanent, cemented decisions - and then later, it's kind of like it didn't happen, or they didn't mean for it to happen"
He continues, "And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain't ready yet. I think you might be able to the Lochness Monster elected before you could get a woman."
On the contrary, T.I.'s peer, Pharrell Williams, believes "it's time for a woman to be in there." During a visit to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", the R&B singer says, "Women think about things in a holistic way, it's not so individual. I'm saying I'm happy to be a man, but I love women. The thing is, if we had somebody looking after our country that thought about things as a whole, I just feel like it just would be different."
"Not that I don't love our current president, I just feel like it's Hillary time," he adds. "People are like, 'Okay, we need a president that we can play Scrabble and Celebrity with,' but that's not who's gonna solve your problems. You need someone that's gonna take it [seriously]."
