Controversial rapper Spanian has been axed by his hip-hop collective after a rant claiming ‘paedophiles’ are being hidden behind the gay pride movement.
The Aussie eshay rapper – who built a successful online persona speaking about his troubled past in prison – went on an Instagram tirade on Saturday as tens of thousands marched in the Sydney Mardi Gras.
‘I’m f***ing sick of this f***ing perverted, putrid s***, like a bunch of deadset paedophiles hiding behind some f***ing gay pride,’ he said.
‘How far is this until youse are showing d**ks in the streets now?
His comments came as Sydney hosts the WorldPride festival – the globe’s largest celebration of all things LGBTQIA+.

‘We’re not even men, we’re not women. We’re f***ing this, we’re that, we’re a hundred different things. Forcing it upon us. We say nothing… Everyone’s too scared to f***ing say something. Then it’s forcing it upon our kids,’ Spanian said.
‘All of these child groomers hiding in plain sight, the times coming to an end, I’m not copping it no more. I’m f***ing over it. I’m calling it out.
‘What else do we have to accept?… What else do you want to teach our children? F***ing sick of this. F*** ’em.’
He also zeroed in on a LGBTQIA+ groups using images like teddy bears to promote events and brands, referencing the recent controversy surrounding luxury fashion label Balenciaga.
The designer brand last year ran a campaign featuring pictures of children holding leather bondage teddy bears.
A ‘kink and BDSM-inspired’ mural on display in Wynyard Street of a teddy bear with a beer can and a gay pride flag has also stirred up controversy in Sydney last week, with the artwork being vandalised earlier this week.

‘It’s gotten to the point now there’s f***ing pornographic images in the streets with gay flags,’ Spanian said.
‘Anytime I see any of these putrid maggots, trying to hide their little s**t, targeting kids, just like Balenciaga. It’s no f***ing different. What they doing.
Sick of this s***, we’re done. The whole country is done. The whole world is done.’
Shortly after, the artist-run hip-hop collective One Day released a statement announcing it was cutting all professional ties.
‘Our company is no longer representing Spanian, effective immediately,’ the statement said.
‘We strongly condemn Spanian conflating issues around child-grooming and pedophilia in connection to the LGBTOIA+ community during WorldPride in a recent Instagram video.’
On Monday, the controversial rapper who grew up in inner-city Sydney in the 1990s and has spent a large chunk of his life in prison for various violent crimes, returned to Instagram to double down.

‘I’m sorry for absolutely nothing you putrid peasants,’ he said before launching into another tirade.
The videos had cost him some fans who said he had gone too far.
‘I am so bummed because I thought you were so cool and I was telling everyone about you… but I just can’t with your rant about gays etc. I can’t tell you how f***ing disappointed I am. Anyway unfollow,’ one person wrote.
Others said: ‘This is utter bullshit’ and ‘This is embarrassing’.
Another called the comments ‘Misinformed and hateful.’
‘I hope you talk to your community and they have a serious chat with you, because this is damaging for the mental health of so many.’
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Spanian for further comment.
