Rapper Lil Wop has come out as bisexual via social media.
Sporting bleached hair and pigtails, the 26-year-old rapper, who was previously signed to Gucci Mane’s record label 1017 Records, made the announcement on Instagram and Twitter.
“I’m Bisexual I Like Guys & Girls,” he wrote on both social media platforms, along with a smiley face emoji and pink hearts. “It’s W.E,” he added.

While many commenters chimed in to offer support, some questioned if the announcement was legitimate, with people posting that Wop’s account had been hacked.
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.
In a followup comment, Wop posted, “I’m gay idgaf what anybody think foreal.”
“I’m definitely not hacked,” he added in a followup post on Instagram.

Wop is no longer signed to a label, but hasn’t stopped producing music. He dropped four mixtapes in 2020 and one in 2021, and says more is on the way.
Here’s some of the response on Twitter:

Damn. This is earth shattering. Who could’ve guessed that.

There’s some definite issues with the “bi guy’ pride” movement as far as directly and indirectly promoting internalized phobias, manipulation, queer and masculine insecurities, gay resentments, gay panic, baiting, culture and sociological leeching, using queerness to deflect from other issues and traumas. I just don’t care for it as a social media entity. But being in the bi/pan spectrum is actually far more common legit, inherent, lifelong homosexuality. While probably at least one-third of “gay presenting” people are in that spectrum. And everyone has their own sexuality, preferences, experiences, struggles and journeys. So, it’s best to not be ignorant and petty.

I think sexuality comes second, first he has to concentrate on his physical and mental hygiene.

What a name. He must identify as “w*p” instead of Italian? lol

I like how his generation is normalizing the sexual spectrum.
lmdoane55
Right!!!! This generation definitely is making it easier to self identify but why do we still need labels??? That’s what truly frustrating

I didn’t realize that the Harley Quinn look was a fashion trend in real life.

This black idiot chooses a stage name called little wop, unbelievable. For those out there who’re unaware the term wop was an insult used many years ago and still is an insulting term for Italians. It’s like a non black person using the ‘n’ word

Hmm, terrible name (add “Doo” to the name it refers to a form of R&B, vs. an ethnic slur, i.e. Lil Doo Wop), but good to see that he’s claiming his sexuality. I also find the shift from “bisexual” to “gay” in his responses telling; for many people they’re lived as one in the same, and shift according to context, circumstances, etc. But good for him affirming who he is and loves and please, young man, come up with a new stage name. Lil Woo? Lil Pop? Lil Boo?

I’ve met a few Bi guys. Most of them have yet to be with a woman!
