Los Angeles producer, Steven Ellison, also known as Flying Lotus, caused some controversy when he made a misogynistic “joke” about Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.
During a show at the Fox Theater, Flying Lotus told the crowd that while he doesn’t like Donald Trump, he “couldn’t possibly vote for a woman who doesn’t give an awesome blowjob.” It was a distasteful comment referencing former President, Bill Clinton’s sex scandal with his then-intern Monica Lewinksy.
FlyLo quickly added “just kidding. I’m going to vote for her ass anyway.”
He reportedly began his set by commenting on Donald Trump and the number of men in the crowd.
A reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle grabbed a video of the rant and posted it on Twitter.

Some audience members took to social media to express their displeasure.
I was with him through "It's 2016, you can't be a scumbag anymore" but we must've been on different levels there

Vote Hillary ?

This is not the first sexist remark that has been directed at Clinton. She frequently faces comments from Republicans who have made vocal opinions on her appearance and her attitude all throughout her career and campaign.
It is also not the first time Flying Lotus faces backlash over his comments. In June, he likened the treatment of producers from rappers to “rape,” by writing “hella rap artists are rape artists” in a series of tweets.
