Snoop Dogg a.k.a. Snoop Lion recently stated that the hip hop community would not support an openly gay rapper because the culture is all about masculinity. In Snoop's opinion Frank Ocean was accepted because he's a singer.
"Frank Ocean ain't no rapper. He's a singer. It's acceptable in the singing world, but in the rap world I don't know if it will ever be acceptable because rap is so masculine," the rapper told The Guardian. "It's like a football team. You can't be in a locker room full of motherf*cking tough-a$$ dudes, then all of a sudden say, 'Hey, man, I like you.' You know, that's going to be tough."
This morning Hot 97's Ebro said that fans are already supporting gay rappers, they just don't know it.
"We're probably supporting a gay rapper right now," Ebro said. "Based on the number of gay Americans there are that we know about, odds are are that one of these rappers is probably gay."
What do you think about Ebro's comments? Is Snoop right? Would the hip hop community turn their backs on a gay rapper?
