Asher Roth is gay

Will it come as a huge surprise to anyone to find out that Asher Roth is gay. He may be an unlikely rap star, but it doesn’t seem so unlikely that he might be gay. There are reports that he’s going to reveal that he’s homosexual when he appears on E! News this week. The interview is rumored to include him discussing why he decided to come out of the closet and his since of fulfillment since he decided to move to a ‘gay section’ of New York City.

Furthermore, Roth is allegedly the unnamed hip-hop artist that was mentioned in MTV executive Terrance Dean’s 2008 tell-all, Hiding in Hip-Hop: Confession of a Down Low Brother in the Entertainment Industry. Dean posted a story on his blog titled: Aster Roth Admits He is the Gay Rapper From My Book. In addition, Asher was photographed participating in a Gay Rights Parade in New York recently. Also in that parade were Lady Gaga, Blink 182, former American Idol Clay Aiken and REM frontman Michael Stipe.

Yes, it seems that the evidence is piling up and coming out of the closet might be more of an after-thought than actual news.

Asher has been dropped from SRC Records, but it is hoped that his next album has been picked up by an indie label.
