There are a few artists who come out openly as gay in today’s hip-hop culture, such as Tyler, the Maker and Lil Nas X. There are even those who have long been rumored to be part of the LGBT community, but have never verified it. A$AP Rocky has been the biggest hip-hop artist to be struck by the rumor.
Rapper Spaceghost Purrp was the one who shared the stories about sexuality, saying that after being invited to the “Praise the Lord” rapper’s party in New York back in 2011, he heard about it. “I was pullin up wit my girl n s**t and I was on da phone like yo bruh where u at I don’t see he was like ‘YO LOOK DOWN IM RIGHT HERE’ Next thing u know he in da pool rubbin a mans a**.”
Before adding in another tweet that it was the explanation why he was no longer on good terms with Rocky, he also presented photo proof that depicted Rocky getting next to a guy in a lake. “SO IF U WANNA KNOW WHY ‘ASAP ROCKY AND ASAP and EVERY RAPPER’ HATE ME so much it’s because I stopped hangin wit him becuase he didnt tell me dat he was homosecual on da low and I felt like he lied bout his life so n order for him 2 keep his secret ,he got me black listed in music,” he said.
“So all these rappers that took his side and went against are basically the ones that had to go against so I womt expose their secret , because I did literally. Nothing wrong to them at all,” Spaceghost added, ranting about getting bashed by a number of people in the hip-hop business because he “found out his biggest secret and he hot mad because I cut him off for lyin bout his sexuality.”
