Kid Cudi has joined the many musicians who have paid tribute to the victims of the Orlando shooting and used the moment to analyze the hip-hop community's attitude towards LGBT people. "The Hip Hop community is the least outspoken about gay rights and Ima go out my way to change that," Cudi tweeted in a statement that was later co-signed by Ty Dolla $ign.

Cudi suggested that he wants to do more than pay lip service to the victims of Pulse nightclub shooting and tweeted, "I wish there was more I could do than tweet, build awareness and donate money. That's not enough." He also instructed any homophobic followers to unfollow him immediately. See his tweets below.

My heart and prayers go out to the LGBT community and everyone affected by this tragedy. Really upset today.
