Pint sized British rapper Lady Sovereign has confirmed rumors that have followed her the last several years by admitting she is a lesbian according to a report by ContactMusic.
She says she would have 'come out' sooner if not for pressure from her publicists to keep her sexuality a secret.
She told Diva magazine "Magazines would always ask about it (sexuality) but (they) would get stopped by my publicists. It was my choice, too, because I was a bit worried about it - but now I don’t really give a s**t.
"You can’t hide away forever. It’s just stupid and now I’ve come out I feel a lot more comfortable with myself. But it was a bit scary back then, because some people do have horrible opinions."
Sovereign was signed to Def Jam Records in 2005 by then President, Jay-Z. She enjoyed success the following year with her single "Love Me Or Hate Me."
In 2007 she appeared to have fallen on hard times personally, culminating in her breaking down, crying and rambling at a show in Brooklyn, New York at Studio B.
During the show she only performed two songs before telling the audience she was depressed, broke, didn't want to do this show.
She then blurted out, "America f*cks you up, f*ck America"
Check out her breakdown below.
