Straight rapper to call new album “I’m Gay”

Mon 18 Apr 2011 In: International News View at NDHA

Rapper Lil B has announced while performing at Coachella that he will name his next album “I'm Gay”, apparently to prove that words don't matter. The straight rapper, whose real name is Brandon McCartney, says he wants to shake up the music industry. "I'm gonna do the most controversial thing in hip-hop," the 21-year-old announced. "Ya'll heard it first. And I'mma just show you that words don't mean shit. I'mma make an album called 'I'm Gay,' right." The west coast rhymer, who has a freestyle called "I'm a Faggot," addressed the subject of his sexuality in a June 2009 interview with Complex. "It's a touchy subject. I respect the hell out of gays and the gay community," he told the magazine. "I'm not a gay man."
