There have always been gay rappers, but as of yet, no mainstream artist has come out as gay.
In the interview, DJ Vlad asked The Game could a gay rapper reach mainstream artist status like Emimen:
I think there are several rappers that are in the closet and gay, and see those are the type of gay people—the only type of gay people that I have a problem with. I don’t have a problem with gay people. Like, Beyonce should’ve said, ‘Who run the world? Gays,’ because they’re everywhere.
Be gay, you can do that. Game don’t have a problem with gay people. Game has a problem with people that are pretending not to be gay and are gay because the number one issue with that is that you could be fooling somebody and you could give them AIDS and they can die and so that in the closet s— is real scary.
So, we’ve got to get into the real seriousness of it and it’s just not fair to other people. Then that sh-t spreads because that girl that you might be fooling might leave you and go find another dude who ain’t gay and give him the disease. And he goes and cheats on her, so it’s an ongoing thing. So it’s ain’t cool to be in the closet. If you gay, just say you gay. Be gay and be proud.
I know of plenty of gay rappers who should be mainstream artists. Our society has become more accepting of out lesbians and gays in the entertainment industry. However, with the strong homophobia that lurks in the hip-hop community, it will be extremely hard for mainstream music artists to come out the closet. Once we move past this “masculinity”, mainstream rappers would be more accepted.
