THE SHOT — Let’s point out all that is gay in 50 Cent and Soulja Boy’s November cover of XXL: 1) The who’s-your-daddy arm drape; 2) the shirtless twink appeal; 3) the crotch grab; 4) the jewels; 5) the face mask often worn by closeted guys in gay porn; 6) “XXL.” How about a round of applause for two machismo-fueled rappers getting all homonormative without any objection?

So how is making/pointing out the GAYNESS in two straight men for humor any better then someone teasing a gay kid to get a laugh from the class?
uu
@BjBien1010: It targets the feigned ultrastraight image from which homophobia originates.
McMike
@BjBien1010: And exactly how do you know they’re straight? 50 Cent gives off the biggest gay vibe and this twinkie looks ready to take it. It kinda irks me when people assume male celebrities must be straight because that’s what we’ve been told. Hip Hop, IMHO, has the most closeted gay male singers out of any genre, closely followed by country music.
btw, this cover is beyond hot. Either everyone at the photo shoot was to clueless to realize what this picture is implying, or my hat’s completely off to 50 Cent for having the balls. Somehow, though, I think everyone there was just clueless.
Babsdude
@BjBien1010: Fiddy is a gay “blind vice” on many gossip sites. So … it’s not a stretch seeing some gayness in this mag cover.
I don’t think Gay Kids vs. famous rappers posing shirtless on magazine covers is a good analogy, BJBien1010. Good try, though.
CONVERSATION CHAMBER
This continual ‘love-to-hate’ coverage of 50 Cent on gay blogs to complain about, or snark at, things that he’s doing that aren’t even “gay” related is doing nothing but inadvertently turning him into an unwitting gay icon. He’s arguably as much of an attention grab in the gay media right now as Ricky Martin. It’s only a matter of time before he winds up on the cover of the Advocate, while giving a smarmy, gay-frigid interview inside. Stop.
Greg
People, what gay man in his right mind would match all that bling with a pair of Hanes? That negates the gay in my book.
MickW
How many times can this site post this picture, we get it the gays hate 50 cent….lets move on.
Fitz
Because YOU find someone’s image erotic doesn’t make THEM gay. Get over it. You are like that freshman in college who makes a pass at the straight dude, and then calls him a homophobe when he walks out.
afrolito
Neither of these two guys are gay, and no amount of gay baiting headlines or posts are gonna change that reality. What’s really hilarious, is this ultra white gay site, posting an image from a hip hop magazine, I doubt the editors or most posters have even heard of. That’s the biggest LOL of all.
Stick to gay baiting the usual white gay fantasies, like Jake Gyllenhal.
Kieran
They make a nice gay couple. Say it loud, say it proud!

@afrolito:
You’d be surprised at how much more interesting the world is when you stop being hung up on race.
Hjgfkj
@Greg:
I actually find simple low-cost underwear to be pretty erotic. The flashy name brand stuff just screams “high-maintenance flamer” to me.
Hilarious
@Hjgfkj: Why be one-sided? Direct that advice to people at Queerty who post articles like this and make claims that all or most black people are homophobic.
Oh and never mind that the Morning Goods are always white men with a random person of color thrown in once a year so if it’s questioned they can link the one time they switched it up.
Most of the so-called “gay community” is hung up on race and entirely segregated so your comment sounds rather biased.
ousslander
@Hilarious: I agree most in the “community” deicide to hang with their own race just like in the greater “community’. It’s only those pesky devil white folks that get flap for it.
Also on other gay blogs with a majority black audience only show non causasian models but that’s ok?
It would be nice to see a great mix of morning goods models
Don
all i see is ghetto — don’t see anything gay
afrolito
@Don:
50 cent is worth more millions than either you or anyone you know will ever have….in 5 lifetimes. But of course, since they’re black, all you’re capable of seeing is ghetto.
afrolito
@Hjgfkj:
I agree….Too bad the larger gay white community doesn’t see it that way.

hi. any martins out there? xoxoxoxox A LUV BOIIIZ

This is gay and every one knows it!!!! Not that there is anything wrong with it… Gays are in, just ask Obama,,, hes making it legal for gays to be in the Army. So if there are gays in the Army which is even more masculine than hip hop, then what makes you think that they arent gay???? If there is anyone who has actually been around the block a few times and seein the world would see that 50 cent and Soulja Boy delebriately possed in this “Gay” pose and doesnt care who sees it. Its hot and its the thing to do now a days. thats all there is too it. You can just see the lust that 50 cent has for his boy toy. And Soulja Boy is just trying to make it in the bussiss no matter whos dick he has to suck to get there, hell I would be letting 50 tamper with my lil booty too if it meant sucess, at least hes one of the best and filty rich. Been there done that and I still have to do it sometimes. I feel you Soulja Boy, you got to do what you got to do!!!!! I am not mad at this picture, I just see it as a revolution….. Since we all know that gays are common in the hood, hell if we havent had gay sex ourselves then we have a gay brother, cousin, uncle, neighbor, or a friend who is gay so its nothing new to me. Just live and let live. And yes to answer any questions, yes this picture is gay if you cant see it, Oh well..

“If I could wish to be any other artist, then it would be Soulja Boy.” -50 Cent
First off … Soulja Boy looks hot to death on this cover. A twinkish, recently legal neophyte looking for someone to uh … ‘mentor’ his brains out.
Enter the Eddie Long of Hip Hop.
It’s been long rumored that uber-phobic Loose Change is gay. In all honesty, uber-‘phobes usually are, aren’t they? It’s the oldest story in the world, and its tired.
Brian
Look at these faggots there gonna fuck each other.
Multi-Colored Umbrella
@ousslander: The only reason there are ethnic queer blogs that have no caucasion models on them because there are so many MORE blogs like this one where people of color are underrepresented. Media with a queer focus should not automatically equate to ‘white audience’.

I remember when I saw that cover in CVS, the first thing that came to my mind was, it’s this a gay magazine? 50 cent looks like the ass bandit in that pic and Souja boy looks like his conquest. That is an extremely gay pose and this isn’t the first time I’ve seen those two in gay ass situations. One time, 50 cent was being all dominate, standing all around SB when he was getting his hair cut. Most men sit in a chair and wait. 50 was acting like he owned SB, no personal space at all. I’m going to have to agree with the person who started this thread or whatever. That post is gay as hell. We all know 50 went to jail, he may be teaching SB how to play “pick up the soap”.

The truth is that homosexuality IS wrong…if It wasn’t (and I know you’ve heard it before …) men could have babies with men.
Jesus didn’t design it that way. If every person born were to turn gay “at this moment” the entire Human Race would be dead with in lets say…the next 105 years. No???
Im no angel so dont try to label me as a closed minded christian or anything like that , but deep down we all know right from wrong..Some of us are just far more reluctant to admit truth then others.
Bottom line..these dudes is doing their part in promoting gay enuendo whether they no it or not (which they probably do)even though it’s subtle enough to lead to debate, which could also be by design..Do your self a favor and look up popultation control/reduction…Opperation paper clip & miseducation of the negro..PEACE
Taylor Siluwé
No. 24 · JayO
Designed by Jesus? Please elaborate.
No, don’t bother. The only way the human race will die out is when religious lunatics (like you) blow us all to hell.
Soupy
I wouldn’t worry about Jay. He doesn’t “no” how to spell know. So how can he “no” anything.
wait a minute
now wait a minute how do you no what gay guy’s were in porn unless our gay
Turkey DNA
50 cent as gay is my greatest hip hop fantasy. slashing him with soulya boy is not a bad look, and game too now that he is part of g-unit again (right?). im also suspecting lil wayne for having shackled up with birdman, that whole father son theme can be twisted to something else you know. i think young buck would make a great closeted gay too, TI is hot stuff as well but not sure. im sure snoop dogg is not gay, he doesnt send out gay signals whatsoever or maybe i can just subconsciously imagine that he doesnt look good when humped from behind LOL.
Taylor Siluwé
@Turkey DNA:
LOL! Snoopy Dogg was humpable back when he was sippin’ Gin & Juice… all laid back and sh*t.
Over the years he’s gotten just a little creepy. Still love him though (just not like that anymore). 😉
Oprah

@afrolito: And just what exactly are you doing on this (GAY) site and commenting on this cover shoot? Tell me that? Obviously there must have been some curiousity on your part if you’re here. Hmmmmm. Secondly, how do you know neither of these men are DL or gay? Are you up 50 Cent’s or SB’s asses 24/7? I seriously doubt it. So for you to say neither are DL or gay is just as stupid as assuming that they are…

@Multi-Colored Umbrella: Exactly! Shut that oblivious, racist white gay fucker up.
@afrolito: Speak on that! And don’t let these gay white assholes tell you otherwise. They are so obsessed with themselves, they cannot see the prejudice and absolute racism they breed. Pathetic!
arofreak
The most shocking thing is Soulja Boys boner… Take a closer look guys!!!
Brian JC Kneeland
how could they not know it was a gay magazine? I guess neither of them nor their agents investigated before saying yes!
Luke Ellison
Hot shot but how can this be accidental?
Robert C Settle Jr
How do you accidentally stand in front of a photoshoot indoors? This is a publicly stunt.
Douglas Schlitz
Load of bullshit, publicity stunt.
Greg Ballard
Guys guys guys! Read the article. The magazine is a hip hop culture monthly and the pose is… Just a pose. There is nothing gay about this. Someone please click the actually link!!!!

@BjBien1010: spot on
Dinodogstar
@JayO.: sad and dumb. so, so sad.
Dinodogstar
@JayO.: So, that’s quite a smart, insightful and profound perspective on the issue. Remind us again. please, JayO, are you a professor at Yale or at Harvard? Sentence structure, punctuation and grammar, like the English language itself, O, is not your enemy. Logical and rational thought, though, does seem to be something you clearly avoid at any and every possible chance. If I even bothered to attempt to start to point out all the mistakes you made, in your otherwise brilliant and persuasive commentary, I’d be here all day. Thanks for the Bible lesson, and letting us in on what Jesus and God done thunk. Mr. JayO, thanks, but can I please just have my fries, and I’ll not bother you again. Thanks. Next.
Dinodogstar
@Robert C Settle Jr: agreed.

Even my eight-year-old nephew can spot a PR stunt when it’s so poorly, not veiled or well-done. Yes, so, Ms. Fox gets top news headline coverage, saying her fellow celeb friend is gay, or suggests it. A magazine has a clearly posed for, and suggestively intentional alluding to that point, and dumb and eager fools take the bait, hook line and sinker. To not see how blatantly the trap was set for dumb and dazed sheep to fall into, is a sad reflection on everyone involved. Fox: “50 Cent is gay!” See and buy the magazine cover, that might, maybe, possibly be proof of that! ” It’s for sale at Walmart, in aisle three, right next to the rat traps and roach motels, folks. Please. Everyday there is a new fool to entice in, and then shake the pennies out of his shallow and nearly-empty pockets. Gay-baiting is what’s going down here, NOT 50 or Soulja. If you ‘buy’ this sales stunt and purposeful media exposure cry for attention, then you must also think that when John Travolta publicly makes it a decisive effort, to kiss them on the lips when the camera just-so-happens to be pointed directly at him, and grabs any and every woman’s azz on stage in front of millions, then that must mean he’s genuinely and clearly straight. Isn’t that undoubtedly evidential and proof-worthy enough? Who a guy grabs, whether that’s a man, a woman or a puppy, is pretty-easily seen and understood as the posed image it was meant to be. When you watch porn, gentlemen, do you get that it’s staged, and the passive one, who is being seduced by an aggressor, is not a true hidden camera situation, when the camera is obviously being held, moved, focused in and out, by a cameraman not being seen or shown? The one about to be plowed, is very aware, despite how well or believable they act as differently, that there is a guy holding and filming the scripted scenario, as what is the fantasy part of the plotted script you choose or wish to suspend your better judgment and reason, to really understand that it’s all an act, done for the show of it. Reality Check: In the picture, THE COVER of a magazine, for sale, 50 Cent did not just randomly happen to show up, wearing a mask, in a matching outfit with S., and was suggestively molesting Soulja Boy from behind, and unhappily just happened to be caught in the studio, by a professional photographer, in an unarranged pose, in front of a backdrop, wearing make-up, under a chance well-lit spot, and sadly got ‘caught’ maybe being a little gay-ish. Do you need to be spoon-fed a sales pitch, to realize what your being fed with, and why? Imagine that. Ms. Fox ‘hints’ at a news-breaking story! The innuendo wasn’t said letter-for-letter, or word-for-word, so Ms. Fox simply must not have been in on the sale, as that would then have been said much more matter-of-factly. If she was hoping to sell you on the idea 50 was gay, then she would have said that much more clearly, right? No. Not. If she did, that would be blatantly obvious to any mentally-challenged fool with ten bucks to hand over. As white as I can try to not say it so badly and sadly, “It is all about the Benjamins.” Stop being such a easy and manipulated fool, and think a bit more critically and logically, about what your being sold, and what you’re so willing and ready to buy. How many commercials does a person have to see, to then understand when one is going on right in front of them? Coffee’s on. Smell it?

The smart copy writers on this story, made the point very clear, in less than a dozen words. ’50 Cent and Soulja ACCIDENTALLY POSE in a gay magazine cover.” (Captialization done by me, to highlight this following point.) What part of ‘accidental’ can you not read as just the snarky and pointed message it obviously means, when it’s followed by the word “Pose”. >>>>The two words together, are a well-said, oxymoron, a two-word term that contradicts itself, and then points out a larger, smarter message. >>>>> Another example of an oxymoronic turn of phrase: (capitalized, to point it out. ) ” The picture shows a SWEET AGONY.” … “50 Cent does seem to be gay for Soulja. It is a TRUE MYTH.” …I am sure the photographer did not say this to the two men: “ACT NATURALLY”….”50 Cent must DEFINITELY MAYBE have the hots for Soulja.” … “50 Cent looks like a BIG BABY.” …”Soulja Boy has a lot of WORTHLESS GOLD around his neck.” …. “In that mask, 50 Cent looks like a WALKING DEAD person.” …” I wonder, is it an OPEN SECRET that these guys are gay lovers?” …And back to the original oxymoron well-written: “This is a interesting ACCIDENTAL POSE the photographer caught on film. ” Lesson over. Later.
