Rather than jt flailg agast his father's homophobia and retreatg to the fort of his keyboard, Jamal summoned his anger to a missn statement: He pledged to take over his father's pany. First, and I fear we've unrsold this our last two reps, how spectacular is that a work TV show picts not only a gay man of lor, but a gay man of lor the hetero-domated world of hip-hop? Lee Daniels and his team may have unrled Luc's homophobia too hard so far, havg him nsistently refer to Jamal as female and sist homosexualy is a choice egregly bluntly, but 's probably (and sadly) realistic—and mak Jamal's assertn that he is a gay man, emphasis on both of those scriptors, all the more valuable.
Dre, whose lucrative Monster headphon le has phed him back to relevancy, is beg lled out as a closet homosexual by his old iend and Death Row head honcho. “I’m sayg he’s gay bee there is a guy named Bce, he’s been sleepg wh a for years, ” he add.
He then add that Dr Dre’s rponse was, “First of all I’m not a f—–… I’m not homosexual.
SUGE KNIGHT OUTS DR. DRE, SAYS TUPAC CONONTED HIM ABOUT BEG GAY
He had a suatn where he beat up a girl, and they were tired of him beatg up girls, so he was gog to unty jail, he broke down and fold up like a lawn chair, ” Knight told, who seemed to be fired up about Dre allegedly “snchg” on him to his PO, rultg a rtrag orr beg add to his parole ndns, then opened up about the large number of “closet s” on the Death Row label, and alleged that Dre was one of them—even claimg that Dre pal and fellow Death Row artist Tupac nonted Dre about his sexualy durg a label meetg:“I’m sayg he’s gay bee there’s a guy named Bce and they’ve been sleepg together for years, ” Knight said.
’ Then [Tupac] said, ‘OK, then you’re a homosexual. ’ [Dre] said, ‘I’m not a homosexual. Sexualy - Gay or Nay.
Correct our wiki/b - is he not gay or straight or of different herage?
