In a highly-anticipated interview with Joe Budden, Isaiah Rashad spoke for the first time about the sex tape leak from earlier this year that showed him in bed with another man.
The “RIP Young” rapper told The Joe Budden Podcast host that he identifies as “sexually fluid” and that he isn’t interested in pressing charges against the person who leaked the video because he’s trying to “keep his mind together.”
“It’s been a time for my family to come together,” he told Joe. “Out of everything, it’s been a blessing. With that happening, and my granddad dying a couple of days afterward and my grandma going through what she’s been through, it’s been a concentration of family together more than it had been before so if anything, I can’t be mad at everything about it. I always gotta look at the brighter side.”
Elsewhere in the interview, he elaborated further on what his sexuality means to him.
“I’d say I’m sexually fluid,” Rashad said before Budden asked him to explain. “I’m still learning about it myself. I’m putting my head in the books to find out the basics of it but basically, I’m not in full control of when I walk into a room who I’m attracted to.”
He continued, “I’m more attracted to a personality. I’m more attracted, sometimes, to intellect. Sometimes, it be just attracted to somebody.”

The TDE rapper added that he’s currently monogamous and that his partner is loving and extremely supportive.
“I’m not just going out and doing whatever,” he added. “I have an understanding of myself that, you know, to not expect anything out of myself as far as an attraction. If I end up getting close to somebody, I might end up attracted to them.”
When the sex tape leaked in February, the Hip Hop community came out in support of Rashad, with Duke Deuce, Chuck Inglish, Peter Rosenberg and others all standing by their friend.

Man I’m so glad of the positive response this brother has been getting. I was extremely worried about him based on previous stuff. Blessings to you Mr Rashad
Stfu up leftist. No one but degens like you are going along with this bullsh.it.
Conservatives do shit like this all the time. Look at Jim Jones at Ohio State. You’re no better either. Both parties are fucked in the head. They’re all about money,power, corruption and less about the people.
No, he drinks gender fluid. There’s a difference.
Y’all should’ve known he was gay. He has two first names as his name. Dead giveaway. (George Michael, Michael Sam, Ricky Martin, Elton John,etc… )
You forgot Sean John Combs
Isaiah was a prophet and Rashad means ‘good judgement’. However, this is THE era for soft and fake rappers. Good examples are J Cole and Kendrick. Both good rappers but soft, Kendrick was even with TDE like Isaiah, someone like them wouldn’t have made it main stream had they come out 15 years ago or earlier. The criteria of being ‘real’ to become a successful rapper has been diminished more and more. Next is obviously the era of queer rappers.
Man stfu .. they will all probably beat the breaks off you…you ain’t tough nicca. So damn tired of trolls…
I’m confused….what makes J. Cole & Kendrick soft? What’s your definition of soft since you are making claims with no concrete facts to back it up..
Dude sucks dicks for christ sake. I mean I don’t care what he’s doing in his private life. It’s his life after all. But he sold us some music with video clips where women were shaking their booties and titties. I don’t want to listen to a music made by a dude with a cryptic message leaning toward homo stuff.
Yuck ? I just puked
You gay homie just say it
I’m sorry Isaiah but what you did was not even Gay it was beyond gay… It was disgusting! Pure vulgar shit on some next level. For someone who preachers about Jesus and God, that must be spitting in the face of both of them. His last album was very sus for starters.
I believe this …
This nasty shit happened in 2019 maybe , he was high and drunk and the footage got to the wrong people and he was blackmailed for a few years and didnt cooperate and then was exposed! This guy is a serious weirdo . You try n understand someone thru there creativity but all he did was lie his way thru his career. I cudnt give a shit anymore I’m glad it’s out there for us all to know. I won’t be buying any of his crap again. I don’t support demonic phaggot shit. What a little wannabe millennial. Laughing and giggling like a bitch. Dude makes me feel sick .
The ignorance and complete lack of an education are shining through in the comments section today. All of you stupid, homophobic MF’s need to get out into the real world and stop living in the dark ages.
Being upset and offended by which sex someone chooses to sleep with is pathetic. Let the man live his life and be happy. All you closeted MF’s are utterly braindead, and when at 50, you finally decide to think for yourself and not what other people tell you, you’ll realise you’ve waisted your life.
Wow. Someone farted a cum bubble today, huh semen breath? Did you ever consider that no one gives a fuck who this dude sleeps with and they might just be talking shut for the fuck of it? Dummy!
He’s sexually fluid. And those fluids kids are ass juice and semen.
2nd Grade humor never gets old for you?
All you guys talking shit.
Careful what you say cause it will come back to you in one way or another. You all got demons in your closet and will damage you in ways you wouldn’t think possible. Don’t think just because you aren’t gay that you’re off the hook. That’s his situation not yours. Yours will hurt you and brings you shame when you’re alone but you’re insecure to tell anyone. And that’s fine but don’t kick a man while he’s down especially when he hasn’t done anything to you.
If you don’t Wana support him anymore. It’s fine. Not like he’s gonna be sad about it. The real fans will support him and have empathy because we all got things we hide. You guys judging like you’re untouchable. Pathetic and sad. Kick rocks. Wana be tough guys.
If you can make a difference between sucking dicks and gluttony we can’t help you.
Nast asss gey pop tart Kool aid in his blood I like fruit loops n fruity pebbles on top of mayo running down my jaw.
