Playboi Carti addresses rumors about his sexuality in a new interview
In a recent interview with HighSnobiety, Carti addressed rumors about his sexuality. “If the world’s going right, I’m gonna go left,” she said. If your cross is straight, then I’m gonna put my s**t upside down. If you hate cigarettes, then I’m gonna smoke as many as I can.”
He continued, “I’m anti-everything. I’m not going out my way to have people like, ‘Oh, what the f**k’s Carti on? Is he gay, or is he he trolling?’ No, bro — I don’t give a f**k. I’m being myself,” he said.
The rapper also added that he regrets not having this attitude about how people perceive him earlier in his career.
“I hate that I waited so long to be myself. I wish I came in like this,” he added. “But if you look at my career you see little signs of that shit. Even if I wasn’t wearing all black and all that shit, I always had a glimpse of this. ‘Oh yeah, bro out here, he on some whole other shit’ – it’s always been me. From the moment I came into this game. You know what I’m saying?”
