Just days ago comedian Lil Duval visited ‘The Breakfast Club‘ and while there he made some very offensive transphobic comments. In the interview, host DJ Envy asked Duval what his reaction would be if he found out he slept with a trans woman.
“This might sound messed up and I don’t care: she dying,” he replied. It didn’t end there, he continued to dig a hole for himself by stating “That ain’t a girl, that’s a boy.” He went on to say there should be repercussions for trans people who don’t identify themselves as trans to their sexual partners and that he would basically apply his own punishment to a trans-person if they “manipulated” him.
Charlamagne and Angela Yee attempted to help him clarify his statements and reminded him that you can’t go around killing people because they are trans.
“I didn’t say I was gonna kill transgenders,” “I said, if one did that to me, and they didn’t tell me, I’mma be so mad I’d probably kill them.”

Well despite the fact that it was actually Duval who made the disgusting comments, Charlamagne is getting some of the backlash as well. The host appeared at the MSNBC sponsored Politicon convention this weekend, and the event was crashed by a group of black trans women, who were not to pleased with him. Get into it below.

Laverne Cox took to Twitter to express her frustration over the comments made by Duval.

Meanwhile, Duval himself is not the least bit concerned with his damaging and hateful statements.
