); delivered a sexually loaded performance on “Saturday Night Live” during which he split his pants and finished the song holding his crotch ; and most controversial of all, kissed one of his male dancers full on the mouthIt’s all leading up to “Montero,” his long-awaited first full-length album — which he says will be out before the end of the summer, and will be “much more personal” than his pre-pandemic work and of a piece with the unapologetically LGBTQ-themed singles he’s released this...
Intentionally or not, his presence as a proud, successful gay man has led others to reveal their prejudices. At the time of this story’s publication, no fewer than five major rappers — none of whom Nas had mentioned in songs or statements — have publicly and flagrantly displayed their homophobia in response to his stance, most prominently DaBaby. And conversely, artists who work with him now, such as rapper Jack Harlow, know they are effectively co-signing him.
And he’s constantly shaping and reshaping that content and narrative. Nas is charming in interviews but plays his cards close to his vest, occasionally giving revealing answers but more often short and evasive ones. However, it comes off less like protection of his privacy — he gave that up a long time ago — than like someone who just doesn’t want to show his hand.
“I had feelings for my sister’s cousin — we have different dads,” he says. “I was like, ‘Oh, my God, he’s really cute,’ and thought that about a lot of other boys my age.” On his recent single “Sun Goes Down,” he sings, “These gay thoughts would always haunt me / I prayed God would take it from me.” While Nas says that exchange is the extent of his personal contact with Minaj thus far, the experience was formative for any number of reasons. “Being on stan Twitter as a whole, I learned a lot about the things that artists have to go through,” he says, “and also a lot of music industry history. It’s helping me a lot.”
