Wale says the rap community is ready for a gay mainstream rap artist

Wale says the rap community is ready for a gay mainstream rapper.
The Washington, D.C. rapper who is topping the charts, told Larry King that he “would think there would be a gay rapper before a Black president.”
“I think 2015 is another world, as compared to 1995,” he said. “It used to be taboo to be a part of the gay community, now it’s taboo to speak bad on the gay community.”
Is the industry ready for a gay mainstream rapper?
Artist T-Pain argued last year that artists refused to work with Frank Ocean after the singer announced he was in a relationship with a man.
And Snoop Dogg said in 2013 that he wasn’t sure if homosexuality would be fully accepted in rap and hip-hop because of the masculinity aspects.
“It’s like a football team,” he said at the time. “You can’t be in a locker room full of motherf*****g tough a** dudes, then all of a sudden say, ‘Hey, man, I like you.’ You know, that’s going to be tough.”
