Fat Joe Calls Out “Femininity” In Male Hip-Hop: “It Seems Like A Trend”
Fat Joe has an issue with “femininity” in male Hip-Hop. On Friday (April 26), Joe hopped on Instagram to address what he sees as a “concerning” rise in straight men cosplaying as gay men. Joey Crack referred to the switch as a “trend” and told the LGBTQIA+ community that he has no issue with them. Joe then argued that the cosplayers wouldn’t have gotten that off in his era.
“Listen, guys, don’t misplace my words for the LBGT,” he said. “If you’re gay and you adore to be gay, that’s your sh*t. That don’t got nothing to do with me. I got a best friend, a brother who’s gay. I don’t give a f**k. But this femininity — this thing that’s going on in boxing — you know the sh*t we see and [Ryan Garcia] saying he’s a miss. Come on man. You f**king around!
“I just wonder, right, because we’ve come a long way accepting everybody for who they are, and everybody should be accepted
Are You Ready For a Gay Rapper?
Last week, rapper Overweight Joe addressed the topic in an interview on VladTV. Joe encouraged infamous, as yet unidentified, and much speculated upon gayrappers to just come on out the closet. “It’s 2011, going on 2012. Rep your set,” he suggested.
“I’m pretty sure I’ve done songs with male lover rappers,” the Bronx rapper Joe continued, offering no speculation on whom he suspects. “I’m pretty sure of that… In 2011 you gotta hide that you gay? Like, be real. ‘Yo, I’m male lover, what the f—!’ F— it if people don’t like it.”
He added, that the entertainment industry is controlled by a “gay mafia” made up of editorial presidents of magazines, PDs at radio stations, and the “people that give you awards at award shows.”
“They are in power, he continued. “So, why wouldn’t a guy come out and utter , ‘Yo, I’m gay,’ and get that type of love?”
Fat Joe, who actually needs a new moniker after dropping 100lbs over the last year, isn’t the first rapper to suggest it’s time for folks to just com
Fat Joe Has Issue With ‘Femininity’ In Hip-Hop From Male Rappers
'It feels favor it’s been a modern trend, new swag, a new style. Paint your nails, use a bag, wear a dress. I wonder if in my era, if it would be accepted like that if it was a trend.'
Bronx-bred recording artist Heavy Joe went on a mini-rant last week when he spoke about the “femininity” taking place in hip-hop from male rappers. His beef isn’t with rappers being gay. He stated that he has an issue with the ones who paint their nails, wear dresses, and claim to be straight.
Joe appeared on his Instagram Live on April 26 to discuss his beef with some current rappers. He pointed out a stark contrast while talking about the difference between how rappers carry themselves today and how they did during his era.
“Listen, guys, don’t misplace my words for the LBGT,” he stated. “If you’re gay and you passion to be gay, that’s your sh*t. That don’t got nothing to perform with me. I got a best friend, a brother who’s gay. I don’t give a f**k. But this femininity — this thing that’s going on in boxing — you know the sh*t we see, and he’s saying he’s a miss (referencing boxer Ryan Garcia, who accused his opponen
The relationship between hip hop and homosexuality is problematic at best. Yes, there are openly homosexual MCs, male, female and transgender. But it’s a lot easier to come across MCs dissing “faggots.” Beefs have been had between artists who accuse each other of being gay. And let’s not even talk about certain artists who live their lives in open closets.
So it was fascinating to see noted MC Fat Joe talking about gays in hip hop in a recent interview. (Although the video is listed as “Fat Joe Thinks the Gay Mafia Controls Hip Hop,” I think that’s a reductionist view of this interview.)
Joe puts it out simply by stating, “I’m pretty sure I’ve done songs with queer rappers.” He goes on to say, “Niggas is gay. There’s millions of gay people in the world. Girls too . . . I’m a fan of ‘Yo, I’m gay. The fuck.’ Enjoy, 2011 you gotta obscure that you’re gay? Favor, you know what I’m saying, like, be concrete, like ‘Yo I’m lgbtq+, what the fuck.’ If you gay you lgbtq+. Like that’s your taste, you know? Fuck it if the people don’t like it.”
