Santana says, “When God made you and me, before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are. Later on, when you grow out of it, you see things, and you start believing that you could be something that sounds good, but you know it ain’t right. Because a woman is a woman and a man is a man, that’s it. Whatever you wanna do in the closet, that’s your business. I’m OK with that.”

He then expresses solidarity with “my brother Dave Chappelle.”

The clip made the rounds online and there’s been enough backlash for Santana to issue an apology.

Carlos Santana apologized for his “insensitive comments” about the trans community in a statement given to Billboard, saying that “I realize that what I said hurt people and that was not my intent.” Read his full statement here.
