Participants self-identified as African American/Black (n=28), Hispanic/Latino (n=33), white (n=21), and bi-racial/ethnic (n=6).

"Someone ask him why Power got gay as hell this season. "So wanna clown me for fucking with the trans community?" Benzino wrote on his IG Story on Wednesday (April 13). In response, Benzino clapped back with some seemingly homophobic shots of his own aimed at 50 Cent in regards to a storyline on Fif's hit show Power Book II: Ghost that features characters within the LGBTQ+ community. They're not thinking about me and what I could be going through. I don't watch gay porn, but that's just me, you know what I'm sayin'? I'm old in my ways, I'm a 55-year-old n***a, you know what I'm sayin'? It is what it is. I love porn, but I don't watch tranny porn.
