Actor-rapper Carlos Agassi has been accused of having ‘small dick energy’ after attacking a transwoman over her criticism of his latest single, which many say is ‘transphobic.’
Earlier this July, Agassi released a new song called ‘Milk Tea’ along with a music video featuring his wife.
The song has received mixed reactions, particularly regarding the artist’s choice of lyrics.
While some listeners appreciated the song, which includes explicit language and provocative lyrics symbolizing the male genitalia as ‘milk tea,’ it has primarily gained attention on social media for its perceived transphobic content.
The lyrics imply that the artist is surprised to discover that the woman he is engaging in sexual intercourse with has large genitalia described as ‘venti milk tea.’
Furthermore, the song suggests that out of all the women, she possesses qualities typically associated with a ‘binabae,’ a Tagalog term that can refer to a homosexual or a transgender woman.

Given the backlash, Agassi refused to back down. He replied to a transwoman who was obviously offended by his lyrics.
The transwoman said she understood that Agassi might be trying to revive his showbiz career.
Agassi replied, saying that she was never as famous as him.

He also said that it was intended to be a light-hearted and a comedic rap track devoid of negativity, and he believes that people are too sensitive and prone to hurling insults.
