In an interview with E! News, King discussed breaking the news on “Growing Up Hip Hop” in addition to explaining how he decided to come out of the closet to his family.

“I came to [my family] and I was just honest and I said, ‘You know what, I have something that’s been laying on me and I just really want to tell you guys something,’ and I just told them that I am gay and just identify as me. They were just really proud of me and happy and they all gave me so much love and just really said, you know, this is big. This is bigger than you doing your reality [show], this is your reality,” King said.
