Comedian Katt Williams has released a video compilation titled “Katt Williams Reveals 10 Rappers Who Are Secretly Gay,” in which he presents a series of longstanding rumors and allegations regarding the sexuality of several prominent figures in hip-hop. The video begins by examining the case of Prodigy, also known as Albert Johnson of Mobb Deep, who passed away in 2017.
The rumors regarding Prodigy originated directly from his group partner Havoc, who in 2012 tweeted accusations that Prodigy had engaged in homosexual activity while incarcerated. Prodigy denied these claims, firing back with diss tracks and public statements, attributing the allegations to bitterness and group tensions. The segment notes that Prodigy was married to Kiki Johnson and battled sickle cell anemia.
The next entry focuses on rapper and producer Eric Sermon, one half of EPMD.According to the video, the rumors surrounding Sermon’s sexuality were spread by radio personality Wendy Williams during her time in New York radio. Sermon has denied the claims in multiple interviews, attributing them to manufactured drama. The video notes that Sermon has a daughter, Lexus, with the late rapper Hurricane G, and has referenced sons and grandsons on social media.
The video then turns to Dr. Dre, stating that the primary source of rumors about his sexuality has been former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight.
The video frames these allegations as part of the long-standing feud between Dre and Knight, noting that Dre left Death Row to start Aftermath Entertainment. It cites Dre’s marriage to Nicole Young, which lasted from 1996 to 2021, and his approximately eight to ten children with several women as counterpoints to the allegations.
The segment on Birdman, co-founder of Cash Money Records, centers on multiple documented instances of him kissing Lil Wayne on the lips on stage.Birdman has addressed the matter, calling himself a “straight gangster” and explaining the kisses as expressions of platonic familial love. Lil Wayne, the other person in those images, has not made a lengthy public statement addressing the rumors, with the video noting his extensive documented relationships with women and four children with four different women.
The video also covers Young Thug, whose speculation stems from his public appearances in dresses and use of language like “bae” for male friends.Young Thug has stated in interviews that his fashion is a form of self-expression and that he is straight. A$AP Rocky is discussed for his androgynous fashion choices, which he has dismissed, noting that his romantic history with Rihanna, with whom he shares three children, speaks for itself. The video includes Tyler, The Creator, whose own lyrics on albums like “Flower Boy” and “IGOR” have fueled speculation, with Tyler describing his sexuality as a “gray area.” Busta Rhymes is included due to claims made by a former associate named Big Homie CC, which Busta has largely denied or ignored. Finally, Ja Rule is mentioned, with rumors peaking after his 2013 release from prison, which he has denied, pointing to his marriage to Aisha Atkins since 2001.
