"I'm very gay, but I love women. I'm not attracted to men in any way. I've never been attracted to a man in my life. But yes I am gay, I'm so happy...I'm a gay, heterosexual male."
In his steady rise to rap notoriety, Lil B has relied heavily on his viral fanbase. His multiple MySpace pages, Facebook "likes" and army of Twitter followers have helped propel his music and message. But ever since Lil B announced at Coachella last week that the title of his next album will be I'm Gay, some fans have turned on the Based God. A few have even sent digital death threats.
"People been hitting me up like, 'I'm gonna bash your head in,' 'you f----t,' 'I'm gonna kill you,' " Lil B told MTV News on Thursday (April 21), as he drove to a show at the Mezzanine in San Francisco.
With upcoming shows lined up in Chicago, Detroit and at the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey in the next few weeks, Lil B showed no signs of fear and said he'd proceed with his scheduled dates.
"I'm not gonna stop and I'm not scared of anybody on earth," he said of the Twitter backlash. "That's why I [titled the album I'm Gay] and nobody gonna stop me."
B insisted he's not a homosexual, but that he is gay, i.e., extremely happy, flipping the word and focusing on its other definition. "I'm very gay, but I love women. I'm not attracted to men in any way. I've never been attracted to a man in my life. But yes I am gay, I'm so happy," he said. "I'm a gay, heterosexual male."
A spokesman for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) told XXLMag.com that they hope Lil B's album title is "not a gimmick, and is really a sincere attempt to be an ally."
B stressed to MTV News that he is in fact a supporter. "I got major love for the gay and lesbian community, and I just want to push less separation and that's why I'm doing it," the Based God said. "I hope GLAAD sees that I'm taking initial steps to break barriers."
When we asked about the makeup of his fanbase, B said he hadn't noticed whether there was any significant portion of his following that identifies as gay, but that some have already had a negative reaction to his title selection.
"A lot of my supporters have turned on me. It's been a few supporters that's saying, 'I'm not gonna rock with you anymore,' " the controversial MC revealed. "That's fine, because you know what? They didn't love me for real anyway."
Although the rapper has yet to begin recording the album, he expects to have it ready and available on iTunes in the next month or two. Lil B also believes that even though he's facing resistance now, in the future he'll be hailed as a hero. "One-hundred years later, people gonna thank me, because people are going to be free. And that's the main thing. Even if it's 1 percent of the people that listen to me and are gonna be free, that's better than none," he said. "That's better than not speaking up at all ... and I spoke up and I did it."

He's a West Coast artist...

And with one simple move, he's showing how homophobic the hip hop community(and specifically the black community) is. He's showing his Berkeley roots with this activist move.
-
Sorry if i come off as a hater but niggas need to quit telling me Lil' B is a Genius visionary for that "Im Gay" shit. The ipod? Genius. Henry Ford? Visionary. Lil B? Neither. Remember how charles Hamilton was a misunderstood genius? now he's just that crazy nigga with the Tyrone Biggums coat. That nigga should've named his album "I enjoy Dicks in my Butt" so I could see how yall would flip it into "He's genius! He's a visionary!"::)
Dont get it twisted, he seems like a cool dude, hes making a name for himself out there but really ppl need to stop making him out to be this DEEP artist w/ this so-called divine wisdom

It may be a simple move to gain attention, but atleast he has guts, I'll give him that. Very few would upset The usual ignorant, homophobic hip-hop customer with this stuff.

true, I just read the word 'gay' in a novel today and thought wtf because it appeared to be totally out of context until I remembered that it has a 2nd meaning.

Word, there are very few moves that will actually shock and offend anymore, and this is one of them, at least as far as the regular hiphop audience is concerned, props to him

Right, there's nothing creative about that title. It's simple as hell and being gay is accepted way more in 2011 than it was in the 90's. Being homophobic has nothing to do with this shit...it's the fact that he's trying to be slick with it by saying it's not what ya'll think.

activist or not/tryna make a statement..all that is commendable......but his music is str8 fuckin garbage yo! on some worse that soulja boy type shit.

Your an LA cat? Daym, take that Nate Dogg picture off, having Nate Dogg associated with u and my city/culture is embarrassing , Nate dogg would bitch slap lil B.
& Mr. "This is whats wrong with todays society"...Whats wrong with todays MUSIC CULTURE is its Image and gimmicks over substance/Skill! Which if you read my comment, I said his activist actions were commendable... but his music is GARBAGE.
You should change your name to LIL B's new album name, it would suit you better. haha. #Swag

LOL
-
He's a fad. If he didn't do things like this nobody would pay attention to him. It's easy to make money if you have no shame

sorry, I can't take anyone serious that is labeling the ipod as "genius". this wretched, expensive peace of plastic is an insult to any real music fan.
as far as the topic goes, I think Lil B is making a cool move. Most of y'all are just too much of a hater and too stubborn to realize that the meaning of gay Lil B emphasizes is way older than today's reference to homosexuals. and even IF he was gay anyway, what is your problem with that? he's not tellin you to kiss other males. stupid people.

lol @ your burning hatred for the ipod. "wretched, expensive peace of plastic", huh? did a ipod rape your mother or something?
yes we all understand that gay has 2 meanings, we've all passed the 3rd grade. would it also be cool if he titled his album, "I Wanna Suck on a Fag Right Now (and by "fag" I mean cigarette because it has 2 meanings)". This novel concept of his still comes off as a cheap gimmick and elementary. and his music is still trash and caters to the trash of society.

Well if thats how u personally feel about ipods then cool. Im not complaining about bout the fact that i can play all of my albums on there and can do many other useful things with it that i couldnt do with a portable cd player or walkman hence why its genius to me.
I know that gay means happy too. I just find it annoying that niggas make him out to be this sort of revolutionary in music, which is all i was talking about. He can literally say anything and all lil b has to do is make up an explaination for it and dudes will believe into it 100% like "ah this nigga is the truth!" It aint all lil b's fault, i blame some of his hardcore fanatic fans for that shit. Other than that, lil b is cool.

Of course its a gimmick. But its a gimmick meant to expose all the homophobes in hip hop. I mean look at some of the comments in this thread.

I had to get that shit off my chest but that's pretty much my only criticism of lil b (mostly his die hard fans) if any. Lil B is doing something many in hip hop are afraid of doing i'll give that. One of my current favorite rappers name danny brown got a strange ass haircut but he dont give a fuck what it looks like to people. Hes eccentric kinda like lil b is and i personally do respect someone being different in hip hop.
Nigga got style dont u think??

Seriously. Homophobia is just people trying to mask their insecurities with themselves.

Any new music from the Based God is like a holiday, no matter the title of the piece of work.
-
Although I think Lil B's music is trash, I find him very amusing. LOL @ anyone being offended by an album title like "I'm Gay". It's clearly just for getting attention which only works cause people are so fuckin insecure about their own sexuality. Grow up!
-
stupidest shit ever , im gay ? wtf somebody shoot this lame foo please . hes a nobody anyway
The cover is going to be him tounge kissing another dude , like lil wayne did birdman
-
Too bad the Boondocks is over I could imagine a classic episode makin fun of this guy. Fuck all that genius shit nigga is gay. Lets not forget the gay comments he was makin at Kanye a while back.
