Former MTV executive Terrance Dean is publishing a no-holds-barred indictment of rap music's biggest closet cases this May-could P. Diddy's greatest nightmare be about to rear its ugly gayface? Hiding In Hip-Hop, published by Atria Books, is "filled with intrigue, sexy celebrity bed partners, abundance of drugs, and of course, the down low/gay men and celebrities in the entertainment industry." We'll see. For now, we offer up our predictions on who might be exposed for treading too lightly in their FILAs.
50 Cent
Odds: 10 to 1
Despite publicly dating and splitting from older actress Vivica Fox, we think the scenario may have been less Mrs. Robinson and a little bit more How Stella Got Her Groove Back. His rivalry with Kanye borders on flirtation, and his once rapped "I read somewhere I'm homophobic, shiiiiit / Go through the hood, there's mad niggas on my dick."
Bow Wow
Odds: 2 to 1
There was that whole awkward story that he was caught being anally "raped" by his driver as a young performer (which may or may not be an urban legend). His questionable relationship with Ciara (sufferer of lesbian and tranny rumors herself through her close relationship with Missy Elliot) hasn't helped his image either. His near-constant collaboration with Omarion is in full-tilt bromance mode, raising eyebrows about their songs about their girlfriends and most of our criteria for what constitutes an actual romance. Our expert opinion (and fantasy) is that Bow Wow is the cutest bottom this side of Roman Heart.
P. Diddy
Odds: 15 to 1
Okay, so Diddy has a bunch of kids and goes out with models and everything, but we heard a personal rumor that he grabbed our friend's ass during a styling session for his MTV Making the Band series. (What is his hard-on for boy bands about anyway?) This and his penchant for white parties puts him in the running enough, but the fact that he couldn't wait to get into fashion design the second Biggy died kind of felt like an emancipated sigh of gaylief.
Kanye West
Odds: 2 to 1
Kanye cares way too much about fashion week to be straight. His "debut" last season had him gussied up and in the front row of shows no rapper would be caught dead at, and hob-nobbing with the likes of Donatella Versace, Karl Lagerfeld and former BUTT pin-up Jeremy Scott. Since his tour he's split up with his wife-to-be for cryptic reasons about being really busy. From drop-out to totally outed?
T.I.
Odds: 30 to 1
He's just so fucking hot! We can always dream, can't we?
Will Smith
Odds: Even
Rumors of Will Smith's sexuality have been so persistent he's practically the Kevin Spacey of hip-hop, while his wife is so hardcore that she became a heavy metal band frontwoman. They often speak of their open marriage (and are subsequently forced to retract their statements by their publicists), they joke when asked how they keep it working, and hang out with another ashamed gay superstar in their free time. Welcome to Miami!
