Unfortunately, as was expected, transphobia reared its ugly head amid buzz of the rapper’s Twitter activity. Some users, however, were very supportive and actually reminded social media that there’s nothing wrong with liking trans people.

str8 men doing the most by acting like gossip girls about Chance The rapper twitter likes. Straight men love Trans women and love Trans sex work. Sit down. Chance must've thought he was on his alt or that verified accs likes are hidden. Same thing Doc Rivers (NBA coach) did.

I make fun of Chance The Rapper for a lot of things, but THAT will not be one of them 🤷🏾♂️ literally who cares?

I’m just hoping that Chance the Rapper gets to live his truth in peace. It would help other straight man who are attracted to trans women out a lot, and lead to less violence in our community.🏳️⚧️

Chance has since unliked the video and has yet to respond to the commentary.
