(AllHipHop News) If there is one positive thing Mr. Cee has gained from this week’s controversy is multiple forums to freely express his plight. In a recent interview with XXL, the legendary Hot 97 DJ talks extensively about his decision to resign, his sexuality, if he will ever engage in sexual acts with men again and much more.
According to Cee, he recently had a case of his dismissed which involved allegations of him soliciting sex from an undercover police officer but is not sure if the leaked video is related to that decision.
Mr. Cee addressed his sexuality and reiterated his stance that due to the fact he was never penetrated or penetrated another man he does not consider himself a homosexual. However, he did leave the possibility open for therapy to help him come to a deeper realization about his sexuality:
I’m going to go to therapy and trying to deal with that side of it, recognizing who I really am. Maybe I can go to therapy and try to move forward with this and actually one day say that, ”Yes, I’m actually a bisexual man.” ’Cause I do love women too. I have my experiences with women.
Cee admits that he has been soliciting prostitutes for over five years and that he plans on discontinuing this practice in order to better understand himself and to not put Hot 97 in danger of bad publicity. While Cee will stop soliciting prostitutes he does not know if he plans on discontinuing having sexual relations with men:
I feel that I need therapy to come to the realization of who I am as a person. Will I ever engage in sexual activity with a man ever again? I can’t really say if I would or if I wouldn’t. Have I been involved within recent months? I have not. I’m still dealing, and I’m still finding my way through whole thing.
The full interview can be viewed at XXL’s website and includes Mr. Cee discussing the fake Twitter account made in his name, the ramifications this incident has on his family and more.
(AllHipHop News) That sure was quick. Three days after Pusha T told Fuse his inflammatory tweet was not about Lil Wayne, the Virginia rhyme spitter seemingly retracts that state on DJ Envy’s Thursday Night Live.

In the interview, Pusha says he has heard Dedication 5 and had a one word review of the mixtape, “Trash.” The G.O.O.D. Music “hot head” could not put his finger on the reason as to why Wayne “lost it”:
I don’t know man. In being fair too, Carter II Wayne is mean. In being fair, I wouldn’t want to blame it on something like drugs or lack there of drugs. I don’t know because I don’t want to feel like people just fall from grace like that but…..trash.
Pusha also shed insight on the recording process of Yeezus and why the album abandoned traditional Hip Hop models:
What people dont know is his whole objective at the time was to not be mentioned in the same breath as any other rapper. He was liek ‘I dont want to be in the company of any rappers.’ Then it went from there to ‘for real, at the end of the day, I’m off of this radio format too. I’m off of all of that. You couldnt say the words “single” or “radio” or “radio record” in the studio during [Yeezus recording session].
Check out the full interview below where Pusha further talks about Kanye’s infamous rant at his listening session for My Name Is My Name, Kanye scrapping his videos and more:
(AllHipHop News) Give a verbose personality like Charlamagne Tha God a forum to speak to the masses and you will get entertainment. Charlamagne Tha God participated in Reddit’s Ask Me Anything series and fielded a variety of questions from fans.
When asked if Gucci Mane was as scary as his public perception suggests, the Power 105 host had no qualms in expressing his genuine fear of Gucci:
Gucci is scary because he’s killed someone before I don’t know about you but murderers scare me.
He also took time out to denouce the message expressed in Kanye West’s Yeezus track “New Slaves”. According to the veteran radio personality, the term “new slaves” is incorrect as people of today have more choices than slaves in the 19th century:
First of all I hate the song “New Slaves” because their is no such thing as a “New Slave” Slaves in the 1800′s didn’t get the opportunity to make millions of dollars off their talent. In fact slaves didn’t have a choice of wanted they wanted to do they were forced to work in those fields. If you don’t like being a part of corporate america and you feel like you are a quote on quote “Slave” QUIT. Find something else to do.
When the questions finally got around to the elephant in the chat room, Charlamagne was surprisingly diplomatic in his analysis of rival radio station Hot 97’s Mr. Cee’s recent admission of sex with cross dressing men:
What announcement? I think it’s interesting and opens up another conversation about what is homosexuality? Are you gay if you get head from men repeatedly? Because he doesn’t identify as gay. It’s interesting.
