Calling hip-hop’s issue with gay people “retarded,” A$AP Rocky is one of only a few hip-hop artists who have promoted a positive message regarding hip-hop and LGBT community.
A once homophobic A$AP Rocky revealed that he could no longer spread disdain for gay people, when all of the designers he wears are gay.

In a recent interview with Spinner, A$AP Rocky gives his opinion on homophobia in hip-hop:
“I don’t give a f*ck about your business,” ASAP Rocky tells Spinner. “Man, if you’re gay we can be friends. If you’re straight, we can be friends. I’m not gay, I don’t plan on being gay, I don’t condone it and I’m not sayin’ I’m against it. I really don’t give a f— and I don’t think anyone should care about what another man’s preference is… unless he’s interested, if you know what I’m sayin’.
I like women. I love women. I’m not going to not be your friend because you like men. As long as you’re a great person and, aside from that, y’know, you don’t bother me and make me uncomfortable, then let’s be friends, dude.
It doesn’t matter. You don’t see people for being gay. People need to leave gay people the f*ck alone. Like, who cares? If you still care about sh*t like that you need to just hang yourself like the rest of them KKK motherf*ckers. For real. Who gives a f*ck?
I’m not saying that hip-hop needs gay rappers or anything, but they need to stop being so close-minded because that will just cause the genre to fail.”
Homophobia needs to stop in general, but it’s prevalence in hip-hop is such a huge issue.
