NLE Choppa Clarifies “Coming Out” Tweet

by

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.

NLE Choppa says he has no plans to stop showing love to the LGBTQ community and thanked them for their continued support of his popular single, “Slut Me Out 2.” He made the comments while addressing criticism of and speculation about his sexuality during a recent concert. He also confirmed he’ll be making an appearance at Atlanta Pride.

“If you’re a person that had something to say about me regarding if I’m gay or if I’m this or that, well, this might make you a little bit angrier or more intrigued as you try to conclude who I am,” he stated. “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 concluded: “Just as they pour love into me, I am giving that love back.”

Lil Nas X says there aren’t enough “homosexual vixens” in the hip-hop community for him to date. He joked about the situation on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday night while calling for his own version of Brittany Renner and Lori Harvey. “Being a gay rapper is hard,” Nas began in his post. “Straight n****s got all the baddies. we need more known homosexual vixens! Where are our Clermont twins, where is OUR Lori Harvey, we deserve a Brittany Renner too!”

Users had plenty of jokes in response to the post. One fan wrote: “I’m afraid I can’t help in that department, but if you decide you need a white bisexual auntie, you know where to find me.” Another similarly complained: “That’s a hard out here for a woman that likes other women also. It’s like which flavor of flannel would you like your woman in.”

Burrell previously came under fire in 2017 for labeling homosexuality perverted in a sermon. “Anybody in this room who’s dealing with the homosexual spirit, beg God to free you. Play with it in 2017; you’ll die from it,” she said at the time, as noted by The Jasmine Brand. When pressed over the comments, she initially doubled down on social media by writing: “To every person that is dealing with the homosexual spirit, I love you because God loves you, but God hates the sin in you and me.”

Boosie Badazz’s Controversial New Track “Letter To The LGBT” Prompts Mixed Reactions

by

Last week, Boosie Badazz took to social media to tease his new track, which he dubbed “Letter To The Gays” at the time. The song is part of his new album Russia, which he unveiled in full yesterday (June 25). As expected, the short snippet he shared resulted in some mixed reactions from listeners. He’s no stranger to having hot takes on the LGBTQIA+ community, and the lyrics certainly reflect that. They include references to gender affirmation surgery, transgender women in competitive sports, and more.

The full version of the track is officially out, though he’s tweaked its title slightly. It’s now called “Letter To The LGBT.” It’s unclear exactly why he changed the title, though it’s possible he was trying to be a bit more inclusive. Either way, it has social media users split.

While some think that Boosie is speaking facts, many think the song is pretty offensive, and are begging him to just stop bringing up the LGBTQIA+ community altogether. Others argue that he seems to be taking a step in the right direction, though his execution might need some work if he really wants to make peace with those who have different opinions than him.

For example, he mentions not having any “hate” for the LGBTQIA+ community and says that he hopes they don’t have any hate for him. He also says that he’s not trying to offend anyone, though he almost certainly did. This seems to be an attempt at reconciling with the people he may have offended in the past, though whether or not it was effective is up for debate.

“Period let’s normalize not giving a F & simply doing our thing,” one social media user writes. “This why I love him!

by

Boosie Badazz says he’s the victim of LGBTQ+ bullying because he “speaks up for straight people.” He vented about his experiences dealing with the community on Instagram Live, on Sunday. He says queer users on social media often come into his stream and accuse him of being gay.

“No gay sh*t? Bro y’all bullies, bruh,” he said. “I guess I’m the only one who speak up for straight people, so I’m gay. Anybody who speak up for straight people, y’all say gay. Sh*t be crazy.

Boosie Badazz Claims He Turned Down $250k To Perform At An LGBTQ Event

by

Boosie Badazz says he once shot down an offer of $250,000 to perform at an event in support of the LGBTQ community. Recalling the offer during a recent interview with The Danza Project, Boosie explained that accepting would’ve gone against his beliefs.

“Companies don’t wanna mess with me for the things I speak about. It’s a lot of losses and it’s a lot of gains also. But I’m not being real for money,” Boosie said. “If that’s the case, I can sell my soul for anything. I’ve been offered a quarter-million to go to perform at LGBT community things, big money. I told them I have nothing against it at all, but that’s not what I push and that’s not what I believe in.”

In addition to losing out on the $250,000, Boosie’s homophobia has also resulted in numerous public feuds over the years. He once called Lil Nas X a slur while telling the then-22-year-old to kill himself. Boosie was upset with Nas’ 2021 performance at that year’s BET Awards, during which he kissed another man. He has also had beef with Gabrielle Union, calling out the actress for supporting her transgender daughter.

Boosie Badazz On Turning Down Offer To Support LGBTQ Community

Despite the numerous incidents and his latest remarks, Boosie has claimed not to be homophobic. Appearing on My Expert Opinion, back in June, he argued that much of the drama has been taken out of context. “People have to understand that it’s not the same stroke for the same folk,” he said. “My fuckin’ assistant manager is gay as fuck. Like, bruh. I don’t know where people get that from. He understands me, he know I don’t have any ill will towards those people. He deals with money, he deals with business. It ain’t never looked at like that. I trust gay people more than I trust regular people.”

Beyonce Shares New Song For Her Birthday From LGBTQ+ Icons Ahead Of L.A. Show

by

The one and only Beyoncé is celebrating her 42nd birthday in style, and that calls for some new music from the musical icon. Moreover, the Parkwood Instagram page recently uploaded a new song “Nine Four Eight One” that honors Beyonce’s special day ahead of her L.A. show tonight to celebrate it. Specifically, the song is by Kevin Aviance, Kevin JZ Prodigy, and TS Madison, icons of the LGBTQIA2+ community that made a club-ready banger for the Texas native. Although it’s just an IG post and not an official release, it might as well be; it fits right in with RENAISSANCE‘s glitzy dance music aesthetics.

“Miss Tina, Miss Tina, what can we say,” the Beyonce tribute declares during its runtime. “You gave birth to her on this day / The magic that we all have seen / Made many of us happy, baby / Everything we see is pure.” “They say Yonce all on his mouth like liquor / She still all on his mouth like liquor,” Madison adlibs towards the track’s end. “You know why? / She’s Beyonce, b***h / Beyonce is not to be compared to any other b***h.”

Beyonce Shares New Track Celebrating Her Birthday

However, that’s not the only exciting musical news to emerge ahead of tonight’s Los Angeles show. While this got spoiled thanks to news reports online, there’s no doubt it will still make for an electrifying moment if it ends up panning out. None other than Diana Ross will reportedly sing happy birthday to the Destiny’s Child alum tonight, making the grand occasion all the more so. It’s a legendary prospect, and if there’s any stage that warrants that magnitude and can hold it, it’s the RENAISSACE tour. Hopefully we get to see that, or a whole slew of other great moments, later tonight.

Will Diana Ross Perform Tonight?

Meanwhile, there are already so many stars attending tonight’s show (and the previous ones) that it feels like a blur to mention them all. KAYTRANADA opened up tonight with what looked like a great DJ set, and we’re sure that he won’t be the only musical surprise of the night. Even though it’s very sad to write or read on this and not be there to witness it, we have to take what we can get. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Beyonce.

Demi Lovato Reveals Why She Changed Pronouns

Demi Lovato's Alleged Dealer was Arrested for Guns and Drugs Months Before her OD

Demi Lovato says she’s back to using “she” and “her” pronouns again. The 29-year-old Pop singer made the announcement in an interview on the Spout Podcast.

Lovato says she started using “they” and “them” pronouns last year because at the time she was “balanced” in “masculine and feminine energy,” but now she’s adopted she/her again because she feels more feminine.

“So, for me, I’m such a fluid person that I don’t really, I don’t find that I am.. I felt like, especially last year, my energy was balanced in my masculine and feminine energy so that when I was faced with the choice of walking into a bathroom and it said ‘women’ and ‘men,’ I didn’t feel like there was a bathroom for me because I didn’t feel necessarily like a woman. I didn’t feel like a man. I just felt like a human,” she explained.

The former Disney star continued, “And that’s what they/them is about. For me, it’s just about like feeling human at your core.”

The “Cool For The Summer” singer didn’t mention that she’s completely jumping ship from ever using “they” and “them” as pronouns, she seemingly implied that she is adding “she” and “her.”
