Ghanaian rap star Tinny has confirmed he “constantly” hears rumours about being gay.
“Perhaps I am good-looking,” he said, considering the source of the rumour.
He light-heartedly underlined the inconsistent rumours, too: “They say I am gay, I like women, and I have many children.”
Speaking to Nana Romeo on Okay FM, the musician said while he had never sexually pursued a man before, “men constantly show interest in me.
“There are a lot of them. They even come into my DMs.”
Tinny said it was “normal,” and so he was not disturbed by the trend.
“They are in their world. I don’t mind,” he explained, noting he had nothing against what was usually called the LGBTQIA+ community.
“If I were against that [lifestyle], I’d be bothered if somebody called me gay. I don’t mind. It doesn’t change anything. You are thinking I am, but I know I’m not. Who are you? I don’t care about you,” he emphasised.
On the controversial anti-gay bill that Ghana’s Eighth Parliament passed, he seemed indifferent.
“I can’t talk for them. If I were part, perhaps I’d advocate, but once I’m not, I can’t,” he added.
He said he would not shun a friend for being gay, however, explaining, “They are human. I don’t mind.”
