During a newly-published interview with Vlad TV, Treach of Naughty By Nature offered his thoughts on the possibility of an openly gay rapper in Hip Hop. When asked if such a rapper could come out as being gay and not receive criticism, the New Jersey rapper stated that he couldn’t give a yes or no answer, but did offer a “maybe.”
He also referenced Michael Sam, one of college football and the NFL’s first openly gay players, when questioned about homosexuality and Hip Hop.
“I mean, in this day and age it’s—I can’t say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ It all depends on—Like you’ll never think it would be somebody in professional football that can come out and let it be known of their lifestyle like that. And then still be accepted. So, like I said, it’s all [foreseen]. The future unfolds many things. Maybe,” Treach said.
Treach was later questioned about remarks fellow rapper Lord Jamar made about there being no place for gays in Hip Hop.
“I mean, some people say it don’t have no place in society,” he said. “But then it’s like how can you say that? Me, I live my life the way I do. And I let God judge anybody else the way they do it. I look at people as people first. You know what I mean? I don’t care what they do on they own time or whatever else. I have friends, people I grew up with, colleagues, work. I don’t care. If they’re gay that’s their business. They some of the hardest workers I know. And some of the most loyal that I see. That I do business with. So, it’s like people are people. What you do on your own time that’s that. For anybody to judge, don’t cast the first stone. That’s what I say.”
During an interview with XXL magazine late last year, Lord Jamar further commented on his thoughts about gays in Hip Hop.
“Am I walking in the street and trying to beat your ass? No,” Lord Jamar said last November. “But am I trying to stop you from promoting that type of message within what I feel is my culture? Yes. And I have the right to do that. Because where do we draw the line? It’s bad enough with all the misogyny that’s in Hip Hop now. I got to hear about dudes fucking girls and this and that. Now I got to hear about two guys sucking each other off? ‘Cause that’s where it’s going to go.”

Missy
The’re already is an openly gay rapper.
His name is Ja Rule.
Why Treach lookin gay in the pic…
That’s a running gag here in DX. If the headline says some shit like “Lord Jamar Says He Hates White People” they’ll put up a picture of Lord Jamar hanging out with some corny ass white boys
young thug is openly gay
Why is the gay issue being push so? I believe in don’t ask don’t tell policy !
fucking faggots
Yea IDK TREACH??? I’m riding with Jamar on this one…I anit saying hate gays but hip hop came from the streets and the streets anit with that gay shyt
Lots of street dudes is gay on the dl
If your gay that’s your way rapper or not but I don’t wanna be seeing that in hip hop guys shaking arse on other guys or even kissing
as for the word queer & fag being used fuck it straight up insult like slag/slut freedom of speech
i feel like the industry is pushin this on the fans
to badthey wont accept him
if a homo male rapper came out everyone would be silenced. cuz in this culture no way you can call a gay person a “faggot” and get away with it. whoever attacks taht man would have his career wrecked. straight people call each other faggots all the time same way white boys call each other nigga, but when a fag or a black person walks in the room it all goes silent
i thought young thug already came out? he admitted to wearing a lil girls dress, paints his nails and calls other men his lovers, babes and hubbies
Didn’t Lil Wayne come out of the closet when he kissed another man on the lips?
Lil wayne is hiphops first homosexual, he just hasnt admitted it yet
No place? Kendrick opened the door for openly gay rappers to shine.
Wrong rapper. It’s Lil Wayne who did that.
