Akademiks' career isn't the only thing Makonnen has claimed to be the founder of this week. On Monday, the My Parade singer argued that he is responsible for “this gay shit."

He continued in several tweets: "This gay shit is the hardest shit anyone could ever do. Like y’all don’t be understanding the days a gay be going thru.

I’m tryna teach y’all to love yourselves so u don’t have to be doing them ugly ways that yall be doing."
