Back in 2011, Charlamagne sat down with Vlad to discuss gay rappers in hip-hop. Even back then CthaGod said that he believed there would be an out of the closet, gay rapper and that he would want to sign them. In recent news, iLoveMakonnen came out of the closet, and Chance the rapper’s younger brother Taylor Bennet revealed he is Bisexual. Homophobia in hip-hop has been a hot button topic, so do you believe that with rappers living in their truths and being honest about their sexuality will affect their careers?
