Village People's Victor Willis demands apology from Tracy Morgan
Victor Willis, former Village People star is demanding an apology from funnyman Tracy Morgan after he joked about his love for gay people and used the YMCA hitmaker as his punchline.
He recently apologised for his homophobic remarks he made during a stand-up show in Tennessee at the beginning of June and when he returned in NYC he opted to make amends and say how fond of gay people he is.
Willis wasn't laughing when he heard Morgan had alluded him in his comedy.
The comedian joked: ""My father was the lead singer of the Village People... I would sing Y.M.C.A. the loudest. I was sitting right there when he wrote the song."
Margan picked the wrong person as Willis, the writer and singer of the gay anthem, was the only straight member of the Village People and the hitmaker now wants Morgan to apologise for his remarks.
Willis' spokeswoman Lydia Smyth tells WENN: "Tracy Morgan owes him an apology for implying he's Morgan's gay father. Victor is fond of Tracy Morgan as a comic, but he can't seem to stop putting his foot in his mouth.
"Victor does not find what Morgan said in the context of what was obviously intended to be a gay-friendly joke to be funny at all, considering Victor's not gay."
