AKA says he isn't bothered if people call him gay
Rapper AKA has taken to Twitter to address rumours of him being gay after pictures of “him” dancing shirtless with another man went viral online over the weekend.
The images led to a lot of fans and followers to speculate whether or not AKA (real name Kiernan Forbes) was gay or at the very least bisexual. The fact that AKA seemed to be wearing just his underwear in the picture only added fuel to the fire.
In typical fashion, however, AKA was having none of it. First up, AKA denounced the authenticity of the pictures, saying there was no way he’d ever strip down to his underwear in public.
AKA additionally pointed out that his level of fame was such that if he had stripped down to his briefs, there would be more than just a couple of pictures of him doing it.
But perhaps the best retort AKA issued was the fact that he wasn’t bothered if anyone thought he was gay. In fact, he’s more concerned with the idea that people would think he’d strip off his jeans in public.
While some followers still asked questions about AKA’s sexuality, a lot of his followers echoed his sentiments, rightly asking why it mattered at all.
Incidentally, AKA did admit to taking his shirt off – but then, he had a very justified reason to do so:
