We Would’ve Recommended Asher Roth Let the Gay Rumors Run a Little Longer
It wasn’t a tough decision to call bullshit on web reports that Asher Roth, the campus hero behind the single “I Love College,” acknowledged he was the “gay rapper” in a book author’s blind item. But before the entire Twitterverse branded Roth a homo, his handlers at Loud.com/SRC/Universal Records have opted to shoot down any notion that Roth sleeps with dudes.
“Asher Roth is not gay, and is not scheduled to be interviewed on the E! Channel,” DJ Vlad, the label’s EVP, posts on his website, with a photo of Roth next to a guy that could easily be his boyfriend. “Furthermore, Asher has not been dropped from SRC Records, and is a top priority at the label after having sold over a million copies his ‘I Love College’ single. Asher is currently working on his next album for SRC.”
Bad move, DJ Vlad! Don’t you know that the way to drum up publicity for Roth’s new record, and reach a whole new niche of (cash-ready) fans is to let the gay rumors continue unabated? Gay is cool now! Ask Adam Lambert! And while you certainly aren’t angling for Lambert’s image for your own client, marketing is marketing. You might’ve lost a few of the white fratboy fan base if you let them continue thinking Roth was a ‘mo, but these rumors hadn’t even reached them yet.
Besides, you already got the gay fanboy engines running with this:
Methinks (and kinda hopes) DJ Vlad doeth protest too much…
that being said this guy is waaaaaaay nerd hawt!!
Who the fuck is this and why should I care?
All homos should die! Including this loser wether or not he’s gay.
This is one gay rumor I hope isn’t true. His flow and subject matter are horrible!
No. 2 · Eric: All unintelligent asshats (where did you
not learn to spell “wether” Erica? you have to realize that
the Gays are intelligent Erica, that’s why we all make much
more money than you and have much better lives than you
ever will) should die WHETHER or not they are complete assholes.
PS: If you want to meet Erica in person after Erica leaves his Mommy’s basement apartment check out the local
cruise area. she will be the one getting barebacked by some
old troll tonite, like all in denial self hating fags do every every nite!!!
Sorry please redirect #5 to #3 Neon!! : P
(damm that hurts!!)
terrwill-where did you
not learn to spell “wether”.hahahahaha good one
No. 7 · sal(the original): Thanks for the haha, kinda put my bitchslap on the dl by my brainfart mistaking Eric for Neon………
This guy is killer hot, and I love a lot of his songs – “I Love College” is an anthem around the fraternity house, for sure. :) [Though unfortunately, we've never picked up the rule 'better hope you make it, otherwise you naked'].
Asher looks way gay to me in those photos, especially the watch ad that hides his mini dick.
FACT: Most Cacucasian men who become “rappers” are on the down low and crave black dick. They usually get plenty of it, too, black men always go for wiggers as opposed to silly Sean McFarland type Queerty queens.
I’m just sayin’.
@ terrwill,i think neon is aware you were talking bout HIS illiterate arse lol
And as for this guy,did know bout him,thought he was hype but i saw a vision(basically this hot pic above)and now i can see the light
No. 10 · Ten in My Timbz: You seem to have proper credentials so I will accept your FACT as a FACT : P
Howeva based on my years of extensive research I would advise that Asher does not in fact sport a “mini dick” His body type usually is more likely is average to above average legnth most likely kinda thick… :/ As I said he is nerd hawt……..
Queerty once again your research is impecable. if u actualy went on his twitter, he gave a link with his response. which is in fact pretty incredible, arguing against the incessant need to make celebrities coming out as news.
“I hate to disappoint and take away the entertainment of it all but I am straight, not gay. It’s disheartening to know such “news” on someone’s personal life can be portrayed as fact with no viable source. This, to me, is an opportunity to expose our vulnerability to lies and manipulation through unprofessional and irresponsible news outlets, in which people consider TRUTH. Further, someone’s sexual orientation should NEVER be big news, as it delivers a troubling message to children that they can’t be themselves without fear of judgment. Race, creed, and sexual persuasion should not just be tolerated but understood and accepted. It’s extremely disappointing that this topic would be used with the intention of being hurtful. We are near 2010….2010!! Yet race, sex and religion still play a major role in a hate driven society. For the love of the future and humanity….let’s wake up.”

@ Terrwill:
You probably do you have a point. The lean ones usually are packing! ;)
But I’m still standing by my point about white so called “rappers”….
and dude is kinda hot…
Never heard of this guy ’til today. But after reading his sensible response, I already like him. Oh, and the fact that I wouldn’t kick him outta bed might have a little to do with it. ;-)>
I’m going to buy his new cd, just cause i liked his i’m not gay twitter message
I’ve been a fan of Asher’s before he became mainstream and I just hate the fact that the media has to make up these types of rumors. He’s taken it in good stride and that’s what I love about him. He’s non-confrontational and very intelligent unlike many other mainstream rappers out there. It doesn’t hurt that he is a good looking guy too. If anyone is interested check out his April Fools vid he did on a spoof of D’Angelo’s “How Does It Feel” video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wif0weJiSvE
@ Jay Franco — OMG!! Thanx for that. Awesome, and oh so sexy.
I wonder how come Youtube hasn’t taken it down, or would DeAngelo’s people have to complain first?
gosh that pic is so gay tough
