"Tuesday" Star iLoveMakonnen Comes Out As Gay
You know him from his 2014 smash hit with Drake “Tuesday”, but now you’re going to know iLoveMakonnen as something else; a brave human being. The 27-year-old American singer/rapper just came out as gay.
iLoveMakonnen did the revealing in the early hours of Friday (Jan. 20) in a series of tweets. See below:
Someone said to me next time they see me, they was gonna fuck me , I said next time I see me, I'm gonna love me up

As a fashion icon, I can't tell u about everybody else's closet, I can only tell u about mine, and it's time I've come out.

And since y'all love breaking news, here's some old news to break, I'm gay. And now I've told u about my life, maybe u can go life yours?

It seems that some recent “incident” with a certain aggressive man led to iLoveMakonnen’s sudden coming out (he apparently felt fed up about running into those situations and just wanted to leave things clear once and for all). But he doesn’t really feel his gay announcement to be that “relevant”. It’s “old news” to him. Good he’s giving it that approach. Just move on with your lives, everybody!
Before going to bed, iLoveMakonnen wrapped up the subject posting a screenshot of his tweets on Instagram and writing the following inspiring caption: “Thank you for letting me be myself.”
His fans are showing him lots of support!
