Top 10 LGBT Rappers
Here is a list of notable rappers who are gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender, or pansexual. However, there are fewer rappers that are on a very popular status including Lil Nas X. Nearly all of these LGBT rappers are underrated or underground because they have been discriminated by others in entertainment. It sucks, but they still have a huge loving and respecting fanbase.
Montero Lamar Hill, better known by his stage name Lil Nas X, is an American singer and rapper who rose to fame after the release of his diamond certified single "Old Town Road", which spent 19 weeks atop the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. He came out as gay on Twitter shortly after "Old Town Road" became a hit. But sadly, not everyone accepted his sexual orientation, many toxic people shouted out homophobic words about him. It's like they forgot the memories of "Old Town Road". But some accept him for coming out and his artistic work as a LGBT person. He openly showed his sexuality in the music videos for "Montero", "Industry Baby", and "That's What I Want", all released in 2021.
Tyler Gregory Okonma (born March 6, 1991), better known by his stage name Tyler, The Creator, is an American rapper, record producer, and music video director.

Tyler has composed seven albums, which are Bastard (2009), Goblin (2011), Wolf (2013), Cherry Bomb (2015), Flower Boy (2017), IGOR (2019), and Call Me If You Get Lost (2021). He is open about his homosexuality, and says he has since he was 13. Despite this, he is controversial for his use of the slur. He said that is it an adjective to describe some "stupid s***".
