Lebanese pop singer Haifa Wehbe has been under fire for a homophobic tweet she sent out to a Twitter user on Tuesday where she wrote: "When a faggot speaks."

The user, who many are saying insulted the singer, has since deleted his Twitter account. Nevertheless, people are coming to his defense, criticizing the singer's attitude towards the LGBTQ community in the Arab world.

"You just disappointed and lost all your LGBTQ fans and ruined that poor guy's life. I hope you're happy now," Twitter user Creole Clay wrote in the aftermath of the incident.

Following the backlash, Wehbe deleted the tweet. However, to her luck, many had already taken screenshots of the conversation.
