Wale: ‘I think America would be accepting of a gay rapper’
By Josh Haggis
Wale has said that he thinks America would be accepting of a gay rapper.
The rapper, who has previously collaborated with Lady Gaga, has argued that if a black man can manage to be President of the United States, then there should be no problem with a gay man succeeding as a rapper, despite the genre being rife with homophobia.
“I think 2015 is another world as compared to 1995. I mean, everything is different,” said Wale during an interview with Larry King.
“We got a black president. I would think there would be a gay rapper before a black president. It’s socially accepted. It’s like taboo to speak bad on the gay community now,” he added.
