NLE Choppa’s Baby Mama Addresses “Coming Out” Post And Whether Or Not He’s Gay

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NLE Choppa’s recent attempt to stir the online pot was pretty successful, even if it was the most predictable thing in the world. He tweeted “I’m Coming Out…” with some mirror selfies and then clarified that it was for a new song, which is queer-baiting at its finest. However, the Memphis MC isn’t doing so in the traditionally pejorative way that this term exists in. Usually, that refers to people trying to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ community by giving signals of their identity, but really they just want to reach that audience. He, on the other hand, is doing this to point out the hypocrisy and bigotry that’s still present against many rappers, as he’s made his sexuality clear before. Choppa’s baby mama Marissa took to her IG Live to speak on this matter.

“My baby daddy is not gay,” Marissa began concerning NLE Choppa. “He is not gay. *laughs* He’s not gay, he’s just trolling y’all because y’all think he gay. Or whatever the f**k, I don’t know why y’all troll him. But it’s a marketing strategy. It’s an attention-seeking thing. He not gay. I mean, if he was, that’s his preference.” Then, she went on to sing the classic “I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross for a couple of bars. Overall, it seems like this is exactly the kind of social media swindle that everyone guessed was happening with Choppa’s tweet.

It’s a complicated issue, and one for which we have no authority to judge NLE Choppa’s authenticity, earnestness, or message. That is not our place, but rather than of the LGBTQIA+ community who are discussing his actions, his support, and his statements in relation to their struggles. The 21-year-old is very supportive of the community, and what we can do from the perspective of fellow allies is applaud that and continue to learn from what the community chooses.

Meanwhile, his brash style at New York Fashion Week is also drawing a lot of conversation. NLE Choppa knows how to play the game, and those who fell for it and angrily reacted are part of what he’s trying to point out. This complex dynamic goes far beyond hot rap songs and social media debates. So we’ll see how it continues to evolve, and hopefully hip-hop’s treatment of the LGBTQIA+ community improves and rectifies itself further.

NLE Choppa Clarifies “Coming Out” Tweet

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NLE Choppa never fails to make headlines for his raunchy song lyrics and wild antics, and this week was no exception. Yesterday, the 21-year-old rapper took to Twitter/X to make an announcement, which left his followers scratching their heads. “I’m Coming Out,” he wrote simply alongside a set of selfies. Of course, some thought he meant he’d be announcing something related to his sexuality. Others figured he was simply trolling.

Now, he’s hopped online to clear things up, revealing that he was just referring to a new project. “With New Song (PINNED^) A New Project This Month, and Black Duck Boots,” he replied to his original Tweet, also saying “Yall ain’t let me finish.” Fans in the artist’s comments section have mixed reactions.

NLE Choppa Says He’s “Coming Out” With New Project

“You had enough characters to finish that caption you knew what you were doing,” one fan writes. “Don’t piss me off,” another says. While some think NLE Choppa was in the wrong to use the LGBTQ+ community for promotion, others point out that he’s shown his support for them in the past. Earlier this month, for example, he performed at a Black Pride event in Atlanta.

He took the opportunity to address the hate he’s received for showing love to his LGBTQ+ fans while onstage. “I know who I am deeply and I appreciate who I am. I will be doing my justice by coming to Atlanta for Black Pride, showing love to the LGBTQ community, which has been one of the best audiences streaming ‘Sl*t Me Out 2,’” he explained. “Just as they pour love into me, I am giving that love back.” What do you think of NLE Choppa announcing that he was “coming out” earlier this week? What about him later revealing that he simply meant he was coming out with a new project? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Julia Fox Makes Kanye West Fans Do A Double Take After Coming Out As A Lesbian

July 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Julia Fox has come out as a lesbian, and amid a whole slew of supportive and heartening messages of love, there were a few fans looking back at past relationships with a very different lens. But first, the important part: she responded in a TikTok to a user who had the following message. “I love when I see a lesbian with their boyfriend. It’s like ‘Aww, you hate that man. You literally hate him.’” “Hey, that was me. I was that lesbian. So sorry, boys. Won’t happen again,” the actress remarked. While she married Peter Artemiev from 2018 to 2020, she had previously spoken about wanting to “explore” her true sexuality.

“Like, maybe my ex-boyfriends weren’t wrong when they were calling me a lesbian and complaining that I never wanted to have sex with them,” Julia Fox said in a 2022 Ziwe interview. This recalled the short-lived fling she had with Kanye West in many fans’ eyes, especially her recent claim in a New York Times interview that she and Ye never had sex. As such, many wondered what his reaction to this news must be, and whether or not it was something that Fox already confided in him or other partners or members of her inner personal circle.

Julia Fox Comes Out

“You know, it was actually a blessing that he came into my life,” Julia Fox said of Kanye West during this NYT conversation. “He kind of shook up my team in a way where a lot of the creative control was then given back to me. I’d get into fights with my creative team about it and be really upset about it, but then ultimately always concede and just do what they wanted me to do because it was easier than arguing.

“When he left, it was like, ‘Well, I’m gonna do what I wanna do,’” Julia Fox continued. “I kind of felt like, ‘Oh my god, the world is my oyster.’ I’m my own muse.” She also recently celebrated two and a half years of celibacy, so we’re wishing her the best on her journey and hope she feels more fulfilled, self-confident, self-loved, and within her personal truth than ever.

Billie Eilish Upset With Variety For “Outing” Her In Their Recent Interview

December 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Billie Eilish’s star has been burning bright for a few years now. After the release of her 2019 breakout album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO?, much of the world became enamored with her. However, as time has passed some have had some issues with the alternative pop star’s comments. Not too long ago, she was making headlines for her statement on how a man’s physical appearance is never in question as much as a woman’s. To sum things up, Billie said that girls are nice and do not care how a man looks.

That had a lot of people turning on her, but, this latest response might win some back. According to Uproxx and a host of other publications. Eilish was interviewed by Variety at their Hitmakers Event. Her sexuality was in question after she gushed about how attractive women are. “I kinda thought, ‘Wasn’t it obvious?’ I didn’t realize people didn’t know… I just don’t really believe in [coming out]. I’m just like, ‘Why can’t we just exist?’”

Billie Was Not To Happy After Soaking It In

After letting that all marinate, Billie realized that it was a little out of pocket for the publication to out her like that. In a recent Instagram photo dump, she voiced her frustrations with them. It reads, “thanks variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters i like boys and girls leave me alone about it please literally who cares stream “what was i made for” Fans in her comments were absolutely on board with her calling them out for the way they handled the interview and cover story. Since it was posted it has garnered over 3.7 million likes.

NeNe Leakes Says Son Brentt Isn’t Gay After He Seemingly Comes Out On TikTok

January 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NeNe Leakes previously rose to fame thanks to the years she spent on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta reality series. Fans loved her for her hilarious commentary, bold style, and vivacious personality. Now that she’s no longer a part of the show, many continue to keep up with the glamorous life of her and her family.

Of course, the 55-year-old previously suffered a terrible loss when her long-time husband, Gregg, died of cancer in 2021. It was an undeniably tough few months for the New York-born entertainer. However, her strength and the love of those around her carried her through.

Unfortunately, at the end of last year, Leakes was struck by tragedy once again. This time, it was her son, Brentt Leakes, who suddenly fell ill. He surprisingly suffered from a heart attack and stroke at just 23 years old.

“Brentt doesn’t drink or do drugs. And obviously, they’ve tested him for all of those things,” the mother of one told followers when breaking the news. “They also tested him for HIV. They were thinking that maybe he had caught COVID and he didn’t know that he had COVID.”

Thankfully, the young man has since made a full recovery and has recently been showing off his impressive weight loss on social media.

In addition to flaunting his slimmer figure, Leakes also made headlines earlier this week when he seemingly came out on TikTok. In a video that’s been making rounds online, the young man participates in a trend where creators intentionally miss a shot into a basket. “If I miss, I’m gay,” he wrote over the clip.

Many saw this as NeNe’s son announcing his sexuality to the world. However, in a recent interview, the Glee actress says that Brentt isn’t gay. She apparently told her only child that she would still love and accept him if he was, but he denied the allegations.

“All my friends were calling me, calling him, concerned if he’s gay or not,” Leakes went on. “I didn’t really know what the big deal is?! [His] happiness is the most important thing to me. If my son, today, told me he was gay, I would be 100% okay with it.”

Check out everything NeNe had to say about the situation on The Breakfast Club below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
