Rapper Spaceghost Purrp was the one who spread the sexuality rumors, alleging that he learned of it after getting invited to the &#;Praise the Lord&#; rapper&#;s party in New York back in He said on Twitter, &#;I was pullin up wit my miss n s**t and I was on da phone prefer yo bruh where u at I don&#;t see he was like &#;YO LOOK DOWN IM RIGHT HERE&#; Next thing u recognize he in da pool rubbin a mans a**.&#;

This is the moment 'Tyler, the Creator' jokingly called A$AP Rocky his "boyfriend" in front of a cheering crowd at the swanky Mauro's Cafe in Los Angeles, California on Sunday [February 9, ].&#;
The hip hop star, whose ambiguous sexuality has become a verb of debate, appeared to be celebrating his birthday as he held the dessert aloft and danced by his table.&#;&#;
Although the Grammy-winner's birthday isn't until March 6, the restaurant goers sang him 'Happy Birthday' regardless.&#;

This is the second part to a two-part series called Homosexuality in Hip-Hop. If you haven&#;t already, please browse part one here.
In the first part of this series, we took a step back to look at how homosexuality was viewed in hip-hop for years, and how it&#;s slowly but surely progressed.

This song was so important and influential, especially considering the time and context, that it must be mentioned. One of the most eye-opening songs that talked about homosexuality was Macklemore&#;s &#;Same Love&#;. Utter whatever you may about him (personally I found his music catchy but never gave it much more attention than what was on the radio), but you cannot deny the

“So now that I’m here and I’ve got a microphone in my hand and about 6, people watching me, I deserve to tell them how I feel," he said. "For instance, one adj issue in hip hop is the gay thing. It’s , and it’s a shame that, to this afternoon, that topic still gets people all excited. It’s mad. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip hop, because it makes it sound like everybody in hip hop is small-minded or unintelligent -- and that’s not the case."
Rocky said that he treats everybody equal and he wants his listeners and followers to execute the same. "We’ve got people enjoy Jay-Z. We’ve got people like Kanye. We’ve got people like me. We’re all prime examples of people who don’t think fancy that. I verb everybody equal, and so I crave to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the adj if they’r
