On a recent episode of ‘The Breakfast Club,’ Lil Duval got on the mic and made some horrific comments about murdering transwomen.
When asked by DJ Envy what would happen if he were dating a woman and months down the line she revealed she was trans, Duval explicitly said that he would kill her.
“This might sound messed up and I don’t care — but she’s dying. I don’t care,” he said.
He continued:
“If one did that to me and didn’t tell me, I’d probably be so mad I’d kill them.”
DJ Envy then held up a book by author Janet Mock and laughed while Duval proceeded to make even more transphobic jokes. Charlemagne laughed, but called Janet pretty.

NOTHING about the murder of transwomen (or anyone) is funny. Lil Duval took to Instagram to double-down on his feelings.
Thankfully, those with sense on social media have taken Lil Duval to task for his dangerous commentary.
the breakfast club and duval ugly ass just advocated murder against trans women after janet mock was graciously on their show

Lil Duval didn't say he would be mad if he was "tricked" into sleeping with a "man". He said he would murder them. As in kill them. Over sex

How dare you ask a goddess like @janetmock to be on your show & in the same breath laugh while Lil Duval promotes the murder of trans people

Lil Duval saying that he is ready to murder a trans woman for disclosing her status is a major problem

I don't have the energy. Duval is wrong for saying he'd MURDER a transwoman on national syndicated radio. Period.

Trying not to give weight to Duval's words (because that nigga BEEN trash) but I simply cannot ignore the suggestion of murder.

Editor’s Note: For those unclear of what it means to advocate, the word advocate is defined as the following:
1: one who pleads the cause of another; specifically: one who pleads the cause of another before a tribunal or judicial court
2: one who defends or maintains a cause or proposal (in this case, killing a transwoman)
3: one who supports or promotes the interests of a cause or group
Lil Duval saying he would murder a transwoman and THEN taking to Instagram to defend his logic about why a man would be justified in killing a transwoman is ‘advocating’ by definition — and that’s not okay nor defendable.
