Jeffery Lamar Williams, popularly known as Young Thug, is an American rapper, who has made a name for himself with several hit tracks like Best friends, Livin It Up, Bubbly, and others. The rap industry, which was previously thought to be dominated by “Macho Men,” is now undergoing a revolution. With artists like Lil Nax coming out of the closet, many people wonder whether Young Thug is gay? So, here’s what we know about him.
Is Young Thug Gay?
It is not new for popular entertainment and music industry figures to be surrounded by gay rumors. However, back in 2016, when Young Thug wore a ‘colorful dress’ on the cover of his Jeffery project, many people took it as a hint and started speculating that the rapper was gay. However, in 2019, during a conversation with the press, Young Thug denied all such rumors stating the fact that he is straight. He even went on to say that he might be the “straightest person in the world.”
The rapper did not stop there as he also made controversial remarks saying, “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!” Therefore, we can not emphasize the fact any more than Young Thug himself did that he is not gay. Moreover, He also feels that his fellow rapper Lil Nax also shouldn’t have come out to people as he thinks all they do is judgment.
