Asher Roth is gay... I think


I've been hearing about this all day, but here's the latest:

Rapper Asher Roth will appear on E!News during the Christmas Holiday celebration to talk about his recent “coming out of the closet”. Asher was recently at a Gay Rights Parade with Lady Gaga, American Idol Winner, Clay Aiken, Blink 182, and REM lead man Michael Stipe. Asher Roth, who came out of the closet last week, is making his first appearance on E!News this week.

Asher, who was dropped from SRC Records, is currently the only major hip hop star that has admitted he is a “gay rapper”.

He admitted that he was one of the gay rappers mentioned in MTV’s Terrance Dean’s book. Terrance Dean posted the news on his blog, after he said he wasn’t going to name names. He was very happy that Asher came out of the closet before he had to mention names.

Asher, who has been on numerous rally’s and marches over the past year, really became visible in the gay community with American Idol winner, Clay Aiken.

Good for Asher, I hope his career blossoms. If you don't know him, here's his video.




UPDATE: News is (now) he's not gay
