Rapper Lil Wop Comes Out as Bisexual

Rapper Lil Wop opened up about his sexuality on social media over the weekend, telling fans and peers alike that he’s bisexual.

“I’m Bisexual I Like Guys & Girls,” he wrote, keeping it simple with smile and heart emojis. “It’s W.E.”

A couple commenters questioned whether the Chicago rapper’s account had been hacked, but he crossposted a less cropped version of the photo with the same message on Twitter. In that version, not only is he showing off more thigh, but he’s added a caption above his pigtails — another heart, and the word “happy.”

The response from fans has been predictably split, though some expressed full support for Lil Wop coming out and living his truth.

Lil Wop was previously signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 Eskimo Records label in 2017, after releasing a video for his single “Lost My Mind.”

In previous interviews, he described his music as more akin to rock than rap, telling The Fader, “You can lose your mind, you gon’ go crazy to it. It’s rock-hard banging, not soft rock and roll but hard rock.”

His most recent music video was released two months ago, for his song “Money Power Respect.” And respect is definitely what he’s earned from his more supportive fans after casually claiming his sexuality.
