Young M.A. On Knowing She Was Gay At 5, Never Having Sex w/ Boys, Telling Mom & More [Video]
Brooklyn’s own, Young M.A is heating up the summer with her single, “OOOUUU,” and while she admits to pursuing a rap career long before exploding onto the scene, she demanded the attention of over 5.1 million Youtubers with her “Chiraq” freestyle nearly two years ago. Now, with her current single reaching almost 7 million views, many are wondering about the rapper’s personal side in which she opened up to us during a sit-down.
Young M.A has made her sexual preference known through her music and tells us it’s something she’s known at the tender age of five. However, she’s concealed her secret from her mother by pursuing relationships with boys as a teen. “I thought my moms was going to look at me differently, even though my moms said she wouldn’t look at me differently,” She said, “She knew, though. My moms knew.”
In the exclusive interview, Young M.A reveals she’s never had sex with her male partners, explains dealing with previous managers who tried to sexualize her image with makeup and tight clothing, and why she understands some New York rappers resort to a Southern rap sound.
