Rapper Young Thug has strongly denied rumours about his sexuality, declaring himself the “straightest person in the world.”
The rapper, who has previously claimed that Lil Nas X should have kept his sexuality private, denied persistent rumours about his own sexuality on Wednesday (August 21).
Young Thug: I’m the straightest man in the world
In an interview with REAL 92.3 radio show Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the rapper said: “People judge me, and people say, ‘gay,’ but, n***a at one point, I probably had more h**s than [anyone else]… it’s serious!
“If people think that I’m gay, they already misjudged.”
He told the LA radio station: “I’m the straightest man in the world. I hate guys. F**k are you talking about? I’m not even having a threesome with no n***a!”
The rapper, who has previously been linked to girlfriend Jerrika Karlae, denied rumours about his sexuality in 2017.
The rapper, real name Jeffery Lamar Williams, said in a video uploaded to social media: “It is I, Jeffery. The one that get the most hate, and they say gay, but is also the richest in the A [Atlanta].”
The “Havana” rapper said previously that “Old Town Road” star Lil Nas X should not have come out.

In an interview for No Jumper in July, he said: “I feel like he probably shouldn’t have told the world. He shouldn’t have told the world.
“These days, motherf*****s, it’s just all judgment. Motherf*****s is just judging. It ain’t even about the music no more.
“Once you found out he was gay, as soon as the song come on now, everybody like, ‘This gay-ass n***a.’
“N***as don’t even care to listen to the song no more… It’s just like, to certain people, you know what I’m saying?”
Lil Nas X came out earlier this year, after dominating the charts with “Old Town Road.”
In an interview with BBC Breakfast in July, Lil Nas X explained: “It was something I was considering just never doing ever, just taking to the grave or something, but I don’t want to live my entire life not doing what I want to do.
“I’m also opening doors for more people.”
Addressing his fans, Lil Nas X said: “[I hope] that they feel more comfortable.
“Especially within the country and hip-hop communities, it’s not really accepting in either.”
