The veteran rapper specifically stated that Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé are successful in the music industry because of their gay fanbases.
In a recent interview with Livebitez, Fat Joe lamented the escalating LGBT trend in the music industry, especially in hip-hop.
He said, “In the music industry today, you have men who I don’t think are gays but they paint their nails or they are walking with Birkenbags.
“It feels like a new trend. A new swag. A new style. Pain your nails, wear a female dress. This right? And a million others.
“But do you know the toughest one? I man’s own Rico. Young Thug was wearing skirts. It’s safe to say it’s a fad. It’s a trend. And guys are like I’m going to join the trend to go viral and sell more records.
“Historically the people who sold the most. Let’s just keep it a buck. Nicki Minaj… I went to Beyoncé’s concert which was a lot of fun.
“I had the best time of my life in there but it’s a lot. You know it and so that’s what’s going on.
“They [artists] say you know the LGBT [community] really supports you, so we gotta act like that [promote gay fashion].”
