Malik Yoba says he's attracted to trans women. |
"I have been an ally of the trans community since I was in high school; having friends who have transitioned. Both became homeless as a result, because their parents didn't accept them, and unfortunately one ended up dead from HIV and crack addiction."
He added, "The amount of vitriol I have experienced being sent my way just for standing in an uncomfortable place pales in comparison to what it feels like to actually be a trans person and be scrutinized or vilified daily. The choice has not been easy, but I still feel I have more work to do to help my fellow advocates liberate and normalize my brothers and sisters of the trans experience."
Malik Yoba (born Abdul-Malik Kashie Yoba) is an American actor and occasional singer. He is best known for his role as NYPD Detective J.C. Williams on the Fox police drama New York Undercover.
He also has a handful of television and movie credits on his belt. He was a series regular in the first season of Empire.
He took to social media to address homophobia and transphobia in the Black community.
He said that he decided to come out in support of a 20 year old man who was bullied online by Black agitators because he dated a trans woman. Last month, Philadelphia man, Maurice "Reese" Willoughby was dating a trans woman named Faith. He killed himself after he shared an intimate video of the two kissing.
The junk food media claimed it was suicide but the bag 'em ups claim it was apparent drug overdose.

Many in the hip-hop community still flex the homophobia. Mind you we're in 2019 and in the age of Donald J. Trump, Americans have become more cynical towards difference. Given that the most listened to single in the country, Old Town Road is by Lil Nas X. The rapper who came out as gay or bisexual in a series of cryptic tweets earned praise from many in the hip-hop community.
Some are coming to grips with acceptance. Others are still acting like it's high school.
Mind you that immaturity still exists. Namely the 50 Cent-Young Buck feud. Young Buck was caught on camera getting head service from a trans woman entertainer named Glamour Perfekk. The trans woman shamed him online for not opening up about their relationship. 50 Cent has relentless been attacking Buck for this. Many in the LGBTQ community have condemned the two rappers for their pathetic antics.
Yoba's coming out party was not planned. It's pretty much a deflection. Because an old flame is coming back with vengeance. The entertainer who is married with three children is facing a scandal.
Entertainer was outed by a transgender woman who accused him of sexual abuse.
Yoba is being accused by trans woman Mariah Lopez Ebony of exploiting her.
New York passed one of the most strictest laws against exploitation of children. The trans woman accused Yoba of picking her up for a cheap thrill when she was an underage prostitute. She said that he would routinely cruise areas for Black or Latinx trans woman. He would have unprotected sex with them.

She said that Yoba may have other women and trans women accusing him.
She believe that his "coming out" wasn't honest. It was pressure because if she files charges he could find himself fired out the cannon with shows he's starring in.
