"It's been brought to my attention that my old views on life were ignorant," YG said. "I apologize to the LGBTQ community for ever coming across like I was anything but respectful and accepting," he continued.

Although it's not clear what exactly prompted the apology or which "old views" YG is referring to, fans on Twitter are speculating the apology came following his public relationship with singer Kehlani, who identifies as queer.
