T.I. Reacts To Oprah Winfrey & Fans Backlash Over Sexist Comments About Hillary Clinton

Mogul Oprah Winfrey tells rapper T.I. to "Hush your mouth" about his sexist comments regarding his opinion of Hillary Clinton running for president.

TMZ asked Oprah about her thoughts on what the rapper said during his interview with "The Whoolywood Shuffle," she responded in disbelief, "Honey child, hush your mouth!" She added, "Nobody said that! I don't buy it, you know it's not true. I think people just like to talk."

Monday, the 35-year-old shocked fans when he said he couldn't imagine voting for a woman, "Not to be sexist, I can't vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman." He said, "Just because every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president, it's kind of 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."

Eventually, after receiving so much backlash, he tweeted an apology, "My comments about women running for president were unequivocally insensitive and wrong. I sincerely apologize to everyone I offended."

The quick tweet still didn't calm his sexist storm, so he decided to take things into his own hands and upload a video of himself apologizing with no PR help, "It's me speaking from the heart. First and foremost I want to say I apologize to the women that I know and that know me, my mother, my wife, my daughters, my cousins, my nieces, my sisters, my aunties. All of you who have put homes, families and businesses on your back and do things that were unthinkable and continue to do the impossible.

He added, "I know you know how I joke and I know you know my heart. I know you know me, but I apologize anyway. I said somethings that were insensitive and hurtful to women and I apologize. Now to the people that don't know me. I never intended to be taken as though women couldn't be leaders. That was not my intention, I knew better than that.
