His family only found out not too long before his public declaration as he wanted to give them ‘a heads up’. He said he felt like he needed to publicly open up about his authentic self by ‘the young’uns who are listening to me right now, who won’t have to go through stuff like this in the future.’ However, the past year has been a whirlwind of success for the Panini rapper, and being ‘in a new level’ made it the perfect time to come out. ‘I was not in a position where I had to worry about family and friends, like how they would react, I guess.’ I’m in a new level so it doesn’t really matter. Speaking to Ellen about why he came out, he said: ‘It was something I should have done. but before this month ends i want y’all to listen closely to c7osure. Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more.
‘Deada*s thought I made it obvious,’ he later tweeted with a photo of his EP artwork which featured a building with the rainbow flag on it. But before this month ends I want y’all to listen closely to c7osure,” he wrote, adding an array of emojis including a rainbow. He had tweeted: ‘Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not going to f**k with me no more.
