KANYE RESPONDS TO GAY COMMENTS MADE BY BEANIE SIGEL


He's never proclaimed to be a thug, but that didn't stop Kanye West from standing up for himself against a Broad Street Bully. Yesterday, during an interview with Hot 97 radio DJ Angie Martinez, Kanye responded to comments made by Beanie Sigel, who also happens to be his Roc-A-Fella labelmate.

Kanye said that he was listening to the radio one morning when he heard a quote from Beanie, advising Kanye to "come out the closet." The statements were made in the context of discussing the way Kanye dresses, implying that he was gay. When asked about Sigel's statements, Kanye denied being gay, adding "It's so disrespectful." Seemingly upset about the comments, he proposed to Beans, "Why wouldn't you come to me and talk to me about it?"

The Chicago rapper/producer went on to say that he would never say anything to bring anyone else down, but also acknowledged that he was not looking to start any trouble with Sigel, who was recently released from jail. "I don't do the jail thing," he said, jokingly. "I don't do that."
