Just hours after Lil Fizz and Nelly became victims of a sex tape leak, Isaiah Rashad’s private life is being spread all over Twitter, too. On Wednesday (February 9), footage of the elusive rapper both giving and receiving oral sex started making the rounds. But much to the surprise of some of his fans, not a single woman was involved. In fact, everyone participating in the intimate act were men.
While this appears to confirm Rashad’s sexuality, many people have run to his defense and are criticizing anyone who would be so cruel as to expose someone in this manner. As one person tweeted, “Isaiah rashad being gay is random as fuck but being so interested in what ppl do behind closed doors is even weirder lmao got nothing to do wit y’all n-ggas.”
Rashad has had a tumultuous ride over the last few years. Last May, the Top Dawg Entertainment artist spoke to The Fader and talked about his struggles with addiction and how the success of his 2016 album The Sun’s Tirade led him to some dark places. As he became more financially independent, he invited some of his friends to crash with him at his Los Angeles pad and ended up funding their expensive habits while getting drunk before noon.
“And then…I ended up sleeping on my homie’s couch for like four or five months,” he said. “It was the quickest fall from grace I could ever imagine.”

His substance abuse issues became so glaringly obvious, other TDE artists started referring to him as Bobby Brown, who famously struggled with drugs his entire career.
“I was really disgruntled,” he admitted. “Instead of just explaining myself, I just assumed that n-ggas knew. Or I would just be drunk spazzing. And nobody hears that. They just hear that you’re drunk. You know they called me Bobby Brown? That shit hurt the fuck out of my feelings. That’s the worst type of vibe ever.”
But Rashad’s fans are coming to his aid. One person wrote, “My heart goes out to Isaiah Rashad. He has been through a lot these past few years and the last thing he needs is an absurd invasion of privacy. No one deserves to be exposed against their wishes,” while another added, “Not only is the Isaiah Rashad thing a shitty situation because someone’s private sex tape is being leaked without their permission, but they also basically outed someone’s sexuality to the whole world. For what, exactly? No new music was gained, so why leak it.”
Rashad has yet to address the situation publicly. Meanwhile, Nelly has already issued an apology for the lewd video that was mistakenly uploaded to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday (February 8).
“I sincerely apologize to the young lady and her family, this is unwanted publicity for her/them,” the St. Louis rapper said in a statement to TMZ. “This was an old video that was private and never meant to go public.”
Leave that man alone. It is his private life and not ours.
If a straight man’s son admires these celebrities it is public business I can tell my son to separate person from persona. I want natural grandchildren and to continue my lineage. Need straight young men to accomplish this.
Whats so great about your lineage? Why is it so important that it continues?
You must have zero faith in your son if you think he finna turn gay by listening to a gay music artist. I guess every person who grew up listening to Elton John turned out to be gay right? Lmao is that you Boosie?
All these rappers are gay so not surprised one bit.
Never trust a man that has two first names. They’re always SuS. Oh well, If TDE drops him he can always sign to Bad Boy Records. Diddy wouldn’t have any problem with him at all lol.
So you obviously don’t trust Jamaicans huh??
That’s why people need to leave the sex on camera to the professionals. Why record something like that being a public figure that has too much to lose once it leaks? It steady happens to these celebrities and they never learn.
I like seeing celebrities nudes. Keep em coming lol
Gay (pause)
I always liked his music. I still will.
Ok butt pounder.
Projecting there much AssBlaster
he just mad its not his butt
Hmmmm I wonder how many more gay rappers are in the closet.most of them gat females but got feelings towards a dude it’s freighting
who cares? why is gay stuff so interesting to you??????
They all like that. Expose them all
I am with you when you are right. I think females should know because this is ridiculous.
sorry, I don’t want to comment on this site anymore, but I just wanted to say HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!
I’m a fan of Isaiah Rashad and will continue to be, his sex life has nothing to do with me, I mean not even a little bit, but I am shocked, some of y’all be acted what I call too phoney self righteous… Like as if someone like Nas came out and was proven to be gay y’all wouldn’t be just a little shocked?… Man y’all need to do like my name say.
*acting
Dumbass lmaoooo
None of these videos were leaked. They were intentionally put out.
Tweaking
Damn. I fuck with Zay, his preference ain’t got shit to do with nobody he not involved with. He got some of the best riding, introspective music imo. I hope homie alright and don’t take the outing too bad.
I think your answer is spot-on. I couldn’t have said it better
best riding music? what? meat riding??
It’s people like yall haters that think mental health is a joke that make this such a hard thing for people to be themselves. He is a musical genius and has been so open with being suicidal and dealing with addiction issues which has resonated with me and countless fans. It’s hard enough to be open with that, let alone being different with his sexuality. He probably wanted to address that when he was ready and now he is outed and probably dealing with those suicidal thoughts again. God bless him. I’m worried about him as a fan that he has helped deal with mental health issues. #thehouseisburning against his own will. Fuck the internet.
I was meaning to address the haters, not you. The way it posted wasn’t how I intended
Very simple… no one buying this dudes albums or streaming his music. He was ALWAYS gay in the DL and now he figures look at LIL NAS X selling his soul. Might as well cash in on the fact.
People need to stop hiding behind the truth.
People need to mind they own bizness.
Now where’s that new Jay Rock album!
So many contradicting statements in this comment, have no idea what side you’re on…
Jay Rock probably scking off Kendrick. That’s, why we haven’t, got the new album yet. I don’t know what to believe anymore with these fake a** rappers LOL
You are a bigot
Sometimes you have to suck a dick to know that you don’t like suckin dick
The only gay thing about me is when your mom changes lipsticks to put rainbows around my dick
Man I’m sorry.This shit funny as hell to me. It’s time for cats to stop being fake and live they best life. Don’t portray images.
I have no problem with him being gay, it’s being lied to and pretending to something you’re not that pisses me off, why not just be a man and be honest with your fans who pay for your lifestyle? Sorry but I won’t be listening to this counterfeit mf anymore, I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Being lied to? Wtf lol. If you’re not his chick than it’s none of your business who he’s in bed with. So what if his music is about women or whatever. It’s entertainment.
What did you think he owed it to you to come out? Do you realize how tough that shit is for people.
Its his decision to make, he doesn’t have to share any of his personal life with you, he aint required. Grow up, not everything revolves around yourself lmao.
What??!! He don’t owe you his private life. Talking about you feel lied too. Bro you might be suspect ya self with that weird comment.
Yeah this sucks for him… There are zero net gains for him. he doesn’t even have a onlyfans.
I hope this man is mentally ok, this is just pure evil!, This man has a family, he has a daughter and now he is forced to explain and talk about something that he wasn’t ready to do. We all know how the media treats gay man, it’s even worse when you are black smdh, I’m praying for him
How the media treats a gay man…. You must be stuck in the 1940’s. Being gay opens doors and is widely excepted….. plz stfu
His gonna start being recognized more now probably
Hypocrites! Always a victim mentality. No compassion given to the other two people. Equality! Should be the same compassion for everyone no matter what the gender is. If he was straight would you be showing him the same love?

bleah on that dude. disgusting. gay is mental illness
Look at y’all, out here talking bout what’s unnatural, unclean, etc when you promote “eating booty like groceries” lmao. Straight people be every bit as promiscuous & raunchy as gays but sit in judgment. Having whole porn addictions an shit. 3 or 4 kids by as many women. Having herpes, HPV & the clap from never using condoms. But gays are “selling their soul” lol. OK Jamal.
Tell us more about how you’re personally offended by every gay person who doesn’t cater or conform to your hetero lifestyle. Sounds like a super fun life. Not.
