Commotion is still running rampant surrounding the album title that Lil B chose to grace his debut. Ever since making the announcement at the recent Coachella event last week, people are still in total shock. As controversy behind the title continues to grow immensely over the passing week, it is evident that many people are not accepting or content with the blunt statement. It has even come to the point where Lil B is actually receiving digital death threats.
Lil B recently spoke with MTV News en route to a show in San Francisco concerning his interesting title and the impact that it has had on society and certain people.
These were his comments:
“People been hitting me up like, ‘I’m gonna bash your head in,’ ‘you fa***t,’ ‘I’m gonna kill you.”
Even though B has several upcoming shows all across the Midwest and the East coast, cities like Chicago, Detroit and at the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey over the course of the next few weeks, it seems as though he doesn’t fear any of the threats and stated that he’d proceed with his scheduled dates.
B even had his own comment:
“I’m not gonna stop and I’m not scared of anybody on earth, that’s why I [titled the album I’m Gay] and nobody gonna stop me.”
B continues to insist that he himself is not homosexual, but however he does say that he’s gay, according to him, not in a sexual sense, but more or less switching term definitions to rather he’s “extremely happy:”
“I’m very gay, but I love women. I’m not attracted to men in any way. I’ve never been attracted to a man in my life. But yes I am gay, I’m so happy, I’m a gay, heterosexual male.”
Even though Lil B hasn’t begun recording his debut, he does plan to have it completed and available on iTunes in the next month or two. Lil B also believes that even though he’s facing resistance now, in the future the masses will be thanking him:
“One-hundred years later, people gonna thank me, because people are going to be free. And that’s the main thing. Even if it’s 1 percent of the people that listen to me and are gonna be free, that’s better than none, That’s better than not speaking up at all … and I spoke up and I did it.”
