Steve Lacy has carved out quite the space for himself in the music industry, recently rocketing to #1 with mainstream breakthrough ‘Bad Habit.’
And while much of the spotlight has been centered on his artistry, his sexuality was scrutinized during the promotion of his debut project ‘Steve Lacy’s Demo.’
Casually speaking with fans on Tumblr at the time, he was quizzed on whether he would date a man. His reply, “sure, why not,” ignited a wave of headlines to the tune of “Steve Lacy Comes Out as Bisexual.”
The flames were intensified in a less favorable direction when, in a further response on the same thread, Lacy (whose Mom is Afro-American and Father is d Filipino) said the following about dating Black men:
“I’m just not attracted to Black boys. … I still love them and want them to do well in life, we just won’t date.”
In the time since, the attention of the masses has been more centered on Lacy’s musical output.
However, in a new Variety feature, he doesn’t shy away from the topic at large.
Full story below…
On the initial “coming out,” Lacy said in the publication’s Power of Young Hollywood issue:
“But I didn’t really come out. I didn’t try to — it just kinda happened. I don’t care to announce who I’m into sexually. I think it’s silly. I never felt like I needed to come out.”
Unpacking his decision to not install himself as the voice of his orientation, the 25-year-old added:
“I never care to speak for anyone else, because I think all of our experiences are so different from each other. I guess I have a selfish perspective of myself in the world, and I’m just expressing myself. I’m not necessarily doing things for other people to feel good about themselves.”
With that, what are…
Now what else is going on
I agree it’s so odd for people to be so invested in who is in someone else’s bed if your not trying to be in that bed yourself
WHO?…
And WHO CARES?
Black gay men are nasty af
Speak for yourself them things in their pants are extremely impressive & how the use them
Exactly. For some people it’s important. For some it’s not because they are private, not closeted, and don’t feel like they have to talk about that.
Everybody so caught up sharing all kinds of sh!t on social media that it comes off weird if someone wants to keep certain things private.
Public interest in the intimate details of the lives of pseudo celebrities is not new. It comes with the territory. The only difference is today’s artists are lacking the media training required to handle such questions intelligently.
I never said it’s new. They just don’t owe the public anything when it comes to their intimate life.
Right… but Diva can guarantee he love some White boys and some pink d I c k s💅🏾 just say it, there’s nothing wrong to be a c o o n or White men’s w h o r e
There’s nothing wrong with having a preference, but not to the extent of complete exclusion of your own race. And even if that’s how you really feel, never be silly enough to publicly admit it. Especially when you’re trying to become a star. With that being said, I’m good on him and his music. I don’t care if he does well in life, I won’t be supporting him.
Sounds just like a REAL Gemini lol
He has made it acceptable for Non-Blacks to reject him solely based on his race since he openly endorses. I hope he understands his own words can be weaponized against him.
As a Black person, you should never make these sorta statements.
Black Men are ALWAYS making these sorta statements about their own race yet be the 1st to cry racism when a Non-Black father tell his daughters NOT to bring home a BM.
I hope more Non-Black fathers continue on this tradition since they more than enough receipts all over youtube.
It be wild how these Black celebrities are quick to let you know that they not into other Black people. They be so pressed and happy to be some white snowflake’s lump of coal.
You like it, I love it.
Even this freak doesn’t want a black man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Screaming!!! He’s not even attractive and White men don’t want his ugly bottom ass💅🏾
