Open gay rappers
Here Are Rappers Who Embrace Being Queer , Lesbian or Bisexual
It's no secret that there's been a longstanding stigma when it comes to homosexuality in hip-hop. Some artists possess even had their rap careers tarnished by rumors that they were connected to someone of the equal sex. As a novel generation of hip-hop consumers emerge and artists are living in their correctness when it comes to their sexuality, the culture is proving to be more open-minded than ever before.
One of the biggest examples of hip-hop's maturation when it comes to LGBTQ+ acceptance is Lil Nas X. The Georgia-bred artist had the biggest song on the planet when he came out on the last day of Identity festival month in June of 2019. Since then, the "Old Town Road" rhymer has continued to wave the flag for rappers in the queer community, helping push the movement further into the mainstream.
Young M.A has been forthright about her sexual orientation from the bounce, speaking freely about her sexual preferences often in her music. She's even embraced it on a new level, having come out with a line of sex toys called Play NYCe in 2020.

From his last interview with Fantastic Man:
[quote] Tyler notices a strikingly handsome assistant in the store as we quit. “He was gorgeous,” he says, to no one in particular. “Did you see his lovely eyes?”
[quote] During the trip to 0FR., he winds down the window, observing another model-esque, slim blond man walking aimlessly, artfully across the street. “This is fucking crazy,” he says, wowed by the vision before him. “Look at what the fuck is going on. This is insane. This is fucking insane. Why didn’t we...? What the fuck...? Where were they yesterday? Oh, shit, this is fucking insane. What is going on?” He asks if it’s fashion week. That’s next week. “Oh, they’re here for castings?”I ask him to explain for the tape what he’s just seen. “Nah, it’s just gorgeous people. He was gorgeous, dude. Jesus Christ.”
[quote] He talks to another giant blond man at the magazine stay . “Did you view that?” he says as he leaves. “Gorgeous.”
[quote] He’s as flippantly sensual in talking about bees as he is about beautiful boys.

Rappers Who Have Come Out As Gay
The world of hip-hop isn't exactly known as the most welcoming of places for the LGBTQ+ people, and the genre has a history of making queerness a punchline.
For example, we've seen it from Migos, when Quavo suggested to Rolling Stone that iLoveMakonnen "undermin[ed] his credibly" by coming out. We saw it when hip-hop heavyweight Eminem peppered "Rap God" with anti-gay slurs, despite claiming he had no problem with homosexuality. We saw it in Snoop Dogg's infamous 2013 interview with The Guardian, when the "Gin and Juice" rapper claimed, "[Homosexuality is] acceptable in the singing world, but in the rap world I don't know if it will ever be acceptable because rap is so masculine."
Thankfully, the world is adv changing. Snoop Dogg walked back on his comments. Frank Ocean won a Grammy for "Channel Orange" after penning a Tumblr letter about his sexuality, and Lil Nas X, who reigns supreme over Spotify streaming, shocked the country and hip-hop earth when he came out during Pride Month. Though the hip-hop community is just beginning to embrace queerness, these openly same-sex attracted rappers are bravely paving the way.
A Hip-Hop Group With An Openly Gay Member Has The #1 Album
On September 21, Brockhampton released Iridescence, the fourth studio album from the group and the first not included in the Saturation series they kicked off in 2017. In fewer than two years since debuting, the group—consisting of rappers/vocalists Kevin Abstract, Bearface, Matt Champion, Joba Don McLennon and Merlyn Wood, plus producers and their creative team—has exploded into the forefront of Rap, particularly among younger demographics. Founded in Texas by 22-year-old Abstract, Brockhampton has received a groundswell of support; the group has sold-out shows on their current tour, both in Australia and New Zealand plus the United States. Established for boundary-pushing music, high-energy stage performances, DIY aesthetic and a unique social-media presence, Brockhampton is easily Hip-Hop’s most exciting community of its size since the Wu-Tang Clan (Brockhampton is even larger, with more than ten members). However, Brockhampton is making history their New York predecessors never did.
Brockhampton has the number-one album in the nation, with Iridescencedebuting in the top detect on the Billboard 200 charts. Accordi
