It might be safe to say that it isn't a big shock in the rap game for a female rapper to be gay. I mean there's really no room for a dainty, girly rapper is there? Not to say that lebians can't be dainty and girly (lipstick lesbians anyone?) but for the rough and tumble world of rap, who needs it? | |

actually the perception of women in Rap have changed drastically ever since the emergance of Lil'Kim who to me despite her lyrical content or lack of rather is very visually dainty to me anyway...her and Foxy Brown set the glamorous image for other females to follow...now most labels won't sign a female rapper unless she is dainty and sexed out...but back in the days you had butch chicks like Latifah,Lyte,Yo-Yo,Monie Love,Nikki D.,Heather B.,Bo$$,and Rage... who all had this butch/tomboy thing going on regardless of their orientation...

Da Brat has been rumored to be gay for years. She had a relationship with Pam (this was documented) from the group Total back in the day. Pam is the girl in the group who looks masculine - she had the best voice. Rumor has it that Puffy had to intervene with their relationship because of his concern for Total's image. Good thing he intervened, cuz Total's blowin' up all over the place these days. Phew...glad that didn't have an impact on either of their careers. LMFAO | |

I think that Da Brat might be bisexual because she was also rumored to be dating Allen Iverson at one time.
I don't get all into the "she acts like a dude so she's gay" stereotype, and that's why I don't believe that Alicia is gay. Plus Alicia can be very pretty and lady-like at times http://s7.yousendit.com/d...Z46I94VDNH so I think thats just a rumor. I think that it was just a rumor with Pam from Total too. Btw, I saw Da Brat in person one time and her skin was flawless. She did have her ususal swagger or whatever but she's a very pretty girl.

More like urban exxageration. Eve was a stripper back in the day. This dude posted an old pic of her back in the day (pre-stardom). She doesn't hide her past. She's admitted it in interviews. Foxy Brown contributed to the gay rumors about Eve in an interview with Wendy Williams. Then again, they were feuding at the time. Why does everyone want to keep spreading the Alicia rumor? She's been with the same dude for yers now. [Edited 1/20/05 20:26pm] | |

To add a different perspective to this thread: some of the butchest women I know are straight, and some of the most feminine are gay or bisexual, including myself. So just because such-and-such lady rapper has a boyish swagger or doesn't wear much makeup, doesn't mean anything.
This whole reaction goes back to my ill-fated thread on Prince fans from a few days ago. A lot of the people saying "this chick has to be gay b/c she comes across as butch" are the same people who say Prince couldn't be anything but straight, despite his intense girliness. note: No, I am NOT saying Prince is gay. But anyone who actually bothered to read my entire post would've known that... "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

yeah..and his name is Angela... sorry folks....even Elton John was married....Gavin Newsom was married for decades...There is a certain something about Keys...She doesnt come off natural at anything she does..it all seems rather forced...So i guess its easy for one to see through her "straight" act... call it gaydar...call it intuition....but just remember, George Michael denied and lied about his sexuality..took him how long to admit it? One day we gonna wake up and read an article in the paper about Alicia trying to munch in a BK b-room... Space for sale... | |
