Fans and critics across the web have been up in arms about Kanye West’s recent comments in a New York Times article, especially his remark that he’s the “Steve [Jobs] of Internet, downtown, fashion, culture.” Although most people vehemently disagreed with West, rap legend Dres, of Black Sheep actually agreed with the Yeezus emcee and claimed that the two men had one thing in particular in common – being gay.
“Kanye… like Steve Jobs… is one of the most powerful gay men in the world…. God Bless Him,” tweeted Dres.
And it didn’t end there. Dres continued taking comical jabs at West, claiming that the rapper is in the closet.
“Hh… he’s not out yet…. my bad…. lmao,” Dres tweeted.
However, Dres eventually told his Twitter fans that he was just joking about Steve Jobs, although he failed to apologize for or clarify his comments about West.
“C’mon y’all… I’m playin…. Steve Jobs wasn’t gay….” said Dres.
Indeed, Jobs was heterosexual and, despite several gay rumors, West has identified himself as heterosexual as well, though he’s adamant about his adoration and support for the LGBT community.
However, whether a joke or not, some fans weren’t pleased with Dres’ tweets and he later deleted them and posted an apology for his choice words.
“Lmao… I got in trouble….smh,” tweeted Dres. “In no way were my words ment to be a slight to the gay community…. everything else is whatever yo.”
However, this isn’t the first time that someone has seriously or even jokingly called West, gay. Check out some other celebs that have attacked his sexuality below. – nicholas robinson
