April 24, 2008 Hip Hop Comes Out Of The Closet!

Love Muffins, have you ever wondered who in the Hip Hop Community is gay? Well, Industry executive, Terrance Dean is about to spill the tea on all of them! Here is the synopsis from the front cover! The book is slated to be released on May 16

Everyone wants to know the truth about their favorite celebrities’ heart’s desire. Within the masculine culture of Hip Hop and Hollywood, there is a well-known gay subculture that industry insiders are keenly aware of but choose to hide. Terrance Dean worked his way up for more than ten years in the entertainment industry from intern to executive, and has lived the life of glitz and bling along with Hollywood and Hip Hop’s most glamorous. With a family full of secrets and working in an industry founded on maleness — where one’s job, friendships, and reputation all depend on remaining on the down low and in hiding — Dean writes a revealing account of the journey of coming out from hiding.

Who do you think Terrance will out in his book? Please let me know!

    Wow this will be interesting. Probably confirm Da Brat, maybe mess with 50 cent or something.

  • Hmmm, I don’t know B scott, why don’t you tell us!

  • 50cent might be gay. I dont think te Hip-Hop stars will even care about this book, I’m sure that like 95% of hip-hop stars don’t read books

  • Okay……how about…..Kanye West and his PAL, John Legend!

  • He had his fun and now he’s gonna spill the beans on everybody? That’s just tacky…and, yeah, I sure am gonna get the book! LOL!

  • I am very curious as to whether my suspicions are true: John Legend, Kanye, Fifty, Bow Wow. The Brat is already out of the closet…but was she ever really IN the closet?

  • I’ve been waiting for this book for a while now……Im sure it will be a page turner!!!!
    Like a “Superhead”from a gay male’s point of view…but not as raunchy i Hope…..Lol…

    But hopefully as entertaining!

  • T’ betta watch his back. It’s one thing for a chick to write about guys like Superhead, but if he’s outing folks who are still hot, he’ll be lucky if the only thing he gets is a LAWSUIT for defamation and libel.

    But I will be buying that book!

  • The first person I thought of was 50 cent. I think it’s a sign that most of us are looking at him in this post. I’m excited for the release of this book. I will be at borders looking for this one.

  • Timbaland

  • P. Diddy, Usher, Will, Robert, and Brian of DAY 26, Aubry (from Danity Kane), Chris Stokes, Jada Pinkett + Will Smith, Marah Carey, Bow Wow, Omarion, Marques Houston, 50 Cent, EZ E (blast from the past HOMO THUG- R.I.P), Ray J, Kimora Lee, Russell Simmons, Treach (Naughty-by-Nature), T-Boz (TLC), PM Dawn, Proigy (Mobb Deep),

    And probably confirm: Missy, Da Brat, Queen Latifah, Lil’ Kim, Mase

    …Just to name a few!

  • Oh…how could I forget, Ne-yo, Cisqo AND Nokio (Dru Hill), Foxxy Brown, Charlie Baltimore, Rah Digga, Remy Ma, and TYRA!!!

    I’m not sayin’ NO NAMES on how I found out-but TYRA is A BIG TIME LESBO! She may be Bi because she’s occassionally seen w/a guy-but, Trya’s been with a couple of WNBAplayers! :)

  • Damn Gigalo78 you got the whole industry outted LOL

    but I think from the comments posted everyone thinks 50 Cent is on the list. And I say if more than one person is getting a vibe that your gay than somewhere in you is some gay.

    I think Usher, DMX, Ja Rule, Diddy, JAY-Z!!!, R. Kelly, Jadakiss, Jermanie Dupri

  • Ha ha! I should write a book too:

    “Industry Secrets: Bottums and Tops!”

  • I think this is a clever marketing ploy to sell books…and I bet it aint gon’ have shit in it at all! lol

  • I’ii be @ Barnes & Noble reading this. lol.

  • B., I’ve heard that he won’t be naming names like Karrine & Carmen did, but he will be giving enough information for the reader to make his/her own conclusion ;)

  • i can’t wait for this shit…i hope he outs all the homophobic muthafuckas in hip hop…i.e. cameron and his pink-mink-wearing self, 50 cent’s homo-thug ass, and god knows who else…bring it on…i’ll definately be buying, at the book signing, and the defamation court hearings…who ever he outs deserves it…if more of them were probably out maybe the hip-hop community wouldn’t be so homophobic if their biggest stars were upfront about their lifestyle.

  • this wil be a huge letdown. how is he going to out someone who is already out?

    id love to hear stories about diddy usher jermaine dupri ll cool j tyson joe etc

  • Ja Rule gay as hell…B do you agree??? lol. Camron, and possible Ray-j (them sex tapes don’t mean shit). Ohhhhh I almost forgot Omarion…lol. JAY-Z IS NOT GAY!!!!!!!!!!! (His biggest fan just had to add that fact ;-) )

  • What would be the purpose of this book? Would what he say have merit? I just don’t get the whole, “they are gay now let’s out them” thing. It is no one else’s right to out someone. The process takes time. We all know in our minds and that should be enough. I have seen one too many people kill themselves because someone else outed them.

    I’m a little disappointed about it.

  • I have to agree with KR. This book has no relevance. I don’t find it to be very affirming to be opportunistic and write a book to out entertainers in the industry. It is not up to another person to tell the world about someone else’s sexual orientation. There are lots of gays and lesbians in every industry and the entertainment industry isn’t an exception. Mya was asked in an interview a while back if it was possible to be gay in the entertainment industry, and she said that it was possible and she knew some gay R&B artists, but it was harder to be gay in the Rap industry due to the image and reputation you must uphold.

    Terrance seems as if he is trying to solve something when all he is doing is making the situation worse. I have to share the same sentiments as KR. Disappointing!

  • Terrance Howard and Kanye West. But those are just my wishes… so I don’t really know.

  • I am going with John and KR on this one. I just hope that Terance has a lot of body guards when this book comes out because if he outs the wrong person it may not be pretty.

    Oh my. Interesting…

  • oooh!!!! you KNOW i will be purchasing that book WITH THE QUICKNESS! lol. tyra wouldn’t surprise me. neither would 50 or ja rule. sisqo…i was surprised he was straight. well..the children know the children! and i guess the adults will know now too! cannot wait! but T…get yourself a pack of lawyers.

  • I think all of these suggestions are those people that we WANT to be gay…John Legend is at the top of my “Want To Be Gay List” along with L.L. and with a few others. I dont really listen to hip hop like that.
