Freshly out former boxer Yusaf Mack has been on quite the emotional rollercoaster of late, but we’re happy to report he’s managed to turn the whole ordeal into a way to get drunk in West Hollywood. It’s the fairytale ending every little boy dreams of.
If you haven’t been following this story, it’s a real doozy. Here’s a quick rundown:
Mack, 35, former lightweight title contender and father of 10, shoots a gay hardcore threesome video for some extra dough with DawgPoundUSA.com.
Because the internet, the dots eventually connect (they always do). Mack freaks out, comes up with fool-proof plan.
He tells the press he was tricked, drugged, raped on camera and sent off on a train. The world believes it for about absolutely zero seconds, but he sticks with it.
DawgPound (understandably) doesn’t appreciate the accusations, and threatens a lawsuit.
Mack says well OK, maybe I wasn’t drugged. And yeah, I guess I’m actually bi.
A few days later he changes his story again (he loves doing that). Actually, I’m just gay.
So what’s a guy to do now that the cat is finally out of the bag?
Throw yourself a coming out party!
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Mack hosted the “Socialite Sundays” hip hop party at Rage in West Hollywood, where he was reportedly in very high spirits — hope he didn’t leave his drink unattended.
TMZ was outside to catch some of the absurdity:
Daniel D. Wilkinson
First he was drugged…then he decided he was Bi…now he decides he’s GAY and throws himself a party in WeHo…..
More power to him…perhaps he’ll feel better now!
Michael Jarboe
Good for him.
Sebastian Holiday
And why not? Imagine his relief.
Leon Wilborn
Girl bye! I have no time for these down low shenanigans….
Mark Pointon
Good man! Move on, Get on, get down with your bad self
Stan Schulz
Good for this guy. He fessed up fast. I don’t see any reason to knock him.
alphacentauri
Congrats to him but I think this is just to revive/launch his porn ‘career’.
Sheldon Siegel
Boxers AND briefs? ð???
SeeingAll
Hey ! Why wasn’t I invited ??
Bob LaBlah
I hope the next party is a celebration of his newly formed porn company. It will be if he were smart, which I think he is. I am so glad that he does see his popularity and is beginning to capitalize on it.
DDstar1me
Jesus Christ on a cracker. I think the bigger story here is how the hell he is going to support his 10 kids. 10 KIDS? REALLY? Wow! that’s crazy
DDstar1me
Very handsome guy too.
Woody
@alphacentauri: Just to re-launch his porn career?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Bob LaBlah
@DDstar1me: The guy aint the brightest bulb in the pack but he come off (at least to me) as the type who saw to it they all got at least one Christmas present from him. None of the articles said that he DIDN’T know his kids. I thought that was a good thing. And by him and his daughter fighting it did also point to that at least they knew where he was too.
It IS a messy situation but when you really stop to think about it, it sure as hell could be a lot worse.
Kieran
This is going to confuse the hell out of a lot of the dopes out there who’ll say, but, but, but….he’s fathered children!…..HOW can he be GAY? These are the same dopes who have no problem seeing transgenders as synonymous with gay, but gay men who father children?! No way, impossible!
Again, no cure for stupid.
Marky
Now that he’s out and about, media should do their usual thing and forget about him. Leave the poor guy alone; he’s got enough on his plate and a shit ton of living-his-life to do.

@Kieran: Kieran, you just had to throw in a weak attempt at attacking trans people. People can be in that much denial about who they are.
Adam C. Boardman
Way to go man!
alphacentauri
@Bob LaBlah: LMAO you do realize that nobody in porn even the people who run porn companies makes a lot of money, and the actors/actresses make very little cash and make most of their money being whores on the side.
@Kieran: He was DL/closeted and trying to be “straight” when he had kids, and yeah there are gay men who have had sex with women, married and had kids and they’re gay since they’ve never had any sexual attraction to any woman.
Aromaeus
He’s cute, just take out that nasty fucking grill please.
CWM85
Wild story… just plain wild… no other comment on this whacky shit…
wagnerwallace
He is one sexy man – just lose the grill, please!
corktownboy
Great idea for a party. Please proofread the flyer next time: Novemebr?
Bob LaBlah
@alphacentauri: The relative low cost of starting his own porn website, other d/l guys he knows who would perform to help him get the thing up and running PLUS his popularity make it all worth giving it a shot. Too many people by now HAVE had to figure out he is worth something, in one way or the other. Who knows, he might turn out top quality stuff. You must remember that Remy Mars, Hot Rod and numerous other black breeding raw porn stars are whats keeping/kept the others afloat all this time and there seems to be a long waiting list to take their places. Some one has to be making “something” out there some where.
Seriously, what the fuck other choice does HE have at this moment except go that foolish “religious” bullshit way (only to return to his old ways when the “devil” takes over). Make you some money dude while you can. This opportunity is not going to last forever.
mz.sam
This is one ‘single’ gay man who breaks the Guinness record for totaling the most amount of child support. Best of luck to Yesaf Mack and his future.
JPinNC
What’s funny is that the only reason this party went on was because he got paid. So all those women that had his children…heads up.. he has some money now. I can’t remember the last time I saw a black go-go dancer or “host” in WeHo.
Ronald Wei
I can’t even … This whole thing has been so surreal.
Manny Lugo
ahh congrats..I mean he seems happy..so let him be happy
Hussain-TheCanadian
At least he threw himself a party……….now that’s what I call “coming out in style”
Joseph Lease
Sexy.
zooby
Oh so NOW he is gay. Typical closet case, just like when Ricky Martin or Wentworth Miller denied being gay and then randomly came running out of the closet and try to be gay icons. Girl, sit down you self-loathing coward.
Sebizzar
He’s quite handsome, so I guess that makes him a hott mess lol. On one hand I’m upset with him, on the other I know this is a result of homophobia in the world. Guys will make up the most ridiculous lies just to avoid being seen as GAY. I’m assuming this was also the reason he felt the need to have 10 kids!? Eesh… Anyway, hope this mess gets all sorted out, hopefully he won’t end up going back in the closet like many others have.
money718
@Leon Wilborn: You act like it is soooooo easy to be out in black America. C’mon now.
Corey J Hodges
Why are we still giving this asshat attention?
grahambower
It can’t have been easy. Now he’s out and seems happy. The guy deserves a party.
Brian
@Sebizzar: I can assure you that Yusuf was extremely turned on when he bonked all those women and made them pregnant. Extremely turned on. Are you jealous?
BigG
He’s a disgusting excuse for a human
Simon Greenham
I’m surprised a father of 10 would have the time to go partying.. but hey what am I saying…
PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID
Aiin’t no financial or PR incentive in him being the bi bogeyman rather than heroically GAY GAY GAY …hence the not so subtly coached response..and naturally we will overlook the abundance of p*ssy in his twitter likes ( he thought was private)… let alone his olympic level experience of the real thing..which was over and above for bearding purposes…but whatever. Wish him well.
woodin
The guy is a top shelf loser.
10 kids with 6 women. Wonder if he steps up and financially supports his kids or will he just blame others why he can’t or doesn’t and why he takes zero responsibilty over his actions
Arconcyyon
Sorry in the destaque mídea @ they list name point clubs Black and Black guys lol guys nice guys pepe gyus @ NY LOVE NEW LOVE NEW NY .
Xzamilio
I love his lips
Aromaeus
I have not read anything anywhere to imply he doesn’t support his children or that he’s not involved in their lives. I don’t understand why that keeps being brought up? He talks to his 23 year old daughter he fathered when he was 12 so what makes you think he would just ignore the other 9?!
Masc Pride
He will be a big ole, twirling, catty queen by the end of the year.
Kangol
I’m not going to lie, I’d do him. Now that he’s clear about being gay, he’s even sexier than before. That grill is hot too. He can put on that boxing outfit, and in the ring or out, we can get turnt. Turnt up, and turned OUT!
Edgar Marroquin
Come on in the water is fine.
Blackceo
Either he had bad pictures before or they were never this close up because he’s fine!!!!!!
Captain Obvious
I love the comments hating on this man for finally owning up to it… something that isn’t easy to do when you aren’t the child of yuppies/hippies. He’s 35, not 25. As in he grew up when it was still COOL to gay bash and throw “fag” around at any guy who didn’t fit the alpha male stereotype.
He has 10 kids because he was trying to prove he wasn’t gay. He’s a victim of the time period and yet some of you faggots are ready to throw him under the bus because he’s not a pasty twink. I wish I could projectile vomit on some of you.
Anyway he seems happy so your bitter jabs don’t really seem to matter. More power to him and he’s hot to boot. Clearly he can afford his 10 kids as well so you dumb haters can go have many seats. Who’s grandparent didn’t have a lot of brothers and sisters? Do you say dumb crap to them too? Most of their parents really couldn’t afford it.
Even when I want to be done with color some of ya’ll get read to drop a bus on gay black people and act like we don’t deserve the same support, empathy, and consideration you give to other gay people. Your hypocrisy is your own worst enemy because everyone else can see it and use it against ALL OF US. Wake up, grow up, stop it.
alphacentauri
@Bob LaBlah: OK, you seem to fail to grasp that even if he does continue doing porn or starts his own porn site he’s not going to make any sort of money or living from this.
@Captain Obvious: Exactly this guy has 10 kids since he was trying to prove to everyone and himself that he’s “straight” and he did not want to be gay or out and he finally did come out so congrats to him.
Jonny B. Mitchell
Insert eyeroll here. His coming out party was when they were coming out of him…….
Javal Wilson

@Simon Greenham: I guess you don’t follow professional basketball.
Brian
@PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID: Well said. There is no reward for a man who says he swings both ways – neither from straights, neither from gays.
Brian
@zooby: Yusuf Mack is NOT a self-loathing coward. He was straight-identifying before this all blew up. He did one porno scene with men. I believe that Yusuf has been subject to pressure from women who reject male bisexuality as well as from gay-identifying men who want to exploit him.
Danny
Black porn is still too much of a fetish. Seems like they typically go for the thug look and they just pound each other out emotionlessly. It could be fun sometimes, but every now and again I,d like to see a connection between too people/actors.
Joe
Perhaps he’ll be more honest.
Bob LaBlah
@alphacentauri: Trust me, wherever/whomever it is you are working for it is best that you STAY right where you are. In order to go into business for one self YOU must have the confidence that you are going to make it. YOUR attitude shows that you are already defeated before you began. I bet the guys who started Dawgpound heard the same shit but ignored it and became a success.
Imagine if Tiger Tyson, Enrique Cruz, Rock, Biaggi and others had listened to you? Good thing they didnt and gave it a shot and made it work. I love pioneers who end up being successful entrepreneurs who know better than to believe it is still possible to hang around a job for forty years and get a pension. The world has changed and you people had better get with it. Learn to do for self and quit having so much doubt about your success. You WILL make it if you see the light in what you are doing.
rextrek
Id like to Help Him practice his lines for his upcomimg video…..wooooof
alphacentauri
@Danny: Exactly. I’m personally not into most porn but my black gay and bi male friends who are do not like how most black men in porn are portrayed like thugs or look like they came out of a hip hop video, and it does help perpetuate the r@c!st myth of “BBC”.
SonOfKings
This outcome just tickles me to death. Not two weeks ago he was being told to kill himself and shunned by friends. Today, he is the toast of Black, gay Hollywood. And he seems happy at last. Just further proof that when you find your element and get in where you fit in, all kinds of nice things can come your way. And yes, he’s a money maker too, because he’s an interesting personality. I would purchase and wear a Yusaf Mack t-shirt gladly (hint, hint).
zooby
@Brian: He was not a coward, yet blatantly denied being gay a few weeks ago (days maybe), claimed he was drugged to star in a gay porno, and now identifies as gay. Him being “straight-identifying” before all of this blew up just shows how much of a coward he is. He is a grown man – no reason for him to be a little closeted coward. And he did not say he was bisexual, he said he was gay. Women rejecting him? That is on them, but he needs to be honest about his sexuality, cause the truth comes out sooner or later.
Captain Obvious
@zooby: He was OUTED. He did not choose to come out publicly. Go fall off your soap box.
NoCagada
Now, do something REALLY charitable…throw a coming out party for Nicky
zooby
@Captain Obvious: I don’t care if he was outed or not. Fact is, he denied it and accused others of drugging him, and now people are applauding him because he is “living in his truth.” BS man. He is a grown man and way too old to be living a “closeted” life.
