Ruff Ryding singer and actress Eve may have recently been arrested for a DUI, but let’s not forget that the 29-year old beauty has also been working on a new album, Here I Am…
The album isn’t slated until August, but that didn’t stop that girl Eve from sitting down with homo-journo Clay Cane for a little chat. In addition to discussing interracial dating, Don Imus and Barack Obama, Eve and Cane get down on the homo-action.
Cane gets the ball rolling by addressing all that pesky lesbian conjecture: It seems like every female MC has the gay rumors.
Cane: Are you frustrated by the lesbian rumors?
Eve: I could care less. I wasn’t [bothered] in the beginning. It doesn’t bother me. I don’t care.
Cane: You have a hardcore lesbian fan base? Are you comfortable with that diversity in your fan base?
Eve: Absolutely! I love it. Why exclude? First of all, the gays, when they love you, they love you. They are very loyal. I have a huge gay men fan base – I love them. And the lesbians? I love it. Why not?
Who’s that girl? Our girl, because Eve’s always been one of the most accepting hip-hoppers around. Unfortunately, not all of Eve’s musical peers are so down. The hip-hop industry has long been a safe-haven for anti-homo behavior, which leads Cane to ask Eve, “Do you think hip-hop artists ciould be openly gay or bisexual and be successful?” Eve answers a definitive, discouraging “No”:
No. Especially if it’s a man, only because there’s a lot of frontin’ in hip-hop. A lot of the personas and perceptions of hip-hop is pretending to have more, be more. A lot of the stories the rappers talk about – they’re pretending… If a guy came out, it would be amazing and I think that would be the bravest person ever. I definitely feel like – as far as men go – it would just be so…It’s just like gays in the military or gays in the NFL or the NBA. When it becomes that extra macho – in that world, I think it’s very hard. it would definitely be much harder for a man than a woman to come out.
Too true. Unfortunately, none of the women seem willing to come clean, either. You know who you are…
How about we take this to the next level?
