STUNNED BY NELSON
Fat Joe is the latest hardcore rapper to come out of the closet as a supporter of gay men and women, specifically in hip hop. Right after the DJ. Mr. Cee exposure, rapper 50 Cent came out in his defense. A month after that rapper The Game came out against homophobia in the hip hop community, and one wrapper named his new CD 'I'm Gay' setting off a new image and tolerance in the overly homophobic hip hop culture. These rappers support people being open and free with their sexuality. We came across this Vlad TV Interview with a trimmed down Fat Joe (should we still call him fat?) and he seems puzzled that in 2011 people are still living in the closet and still homophobic.
In response to a question about whether he think he's ever done a song with a gay rapper, he responds "Yes," and shrugs off the whole thing: "Niggas is gay. There's millions of gay people in the world. Girls too... I'm a fan of 'Yo, I'm gay. The fuck.' Like, 2011 you gotta hide that you're gay? Like, you know what I'm saying, like, be real, like 'Yo I'm gay, what the fuck.' If you gay you gay. Like that's your preference, you know? Fuck it if the people don't like it."[Guanabee via Gawker]
