Kanye West Answers Beanie Siegel’s Gay Insults

During a recent U.S radio interview, rap star Beanie Siegel attacked fellow artist Kanye West on how he presents himself, specifically focusing in on how Kanye dresses. Siegel then went on to make the declaration that he thinks that West is a homosexual and that he should “come out of the closet”. 

West responded to the attacks by Siegel on a separate radio interview by first making clear his disgust at the “disrespectful” statements. Kanye then went on to ask Beanie, “Why wouldn’t you come to me and talk to me about it?”

Ever since his 2004 debut album The College Dropout, with feature hits like Jesus Walks, West has put together a series of successful performances. His second album, Late Registration, was released the following year and was an enormous success with two hit singles; Gold Digger & Diamonds Are From Sierra Leone.

As fellow artists on the Roc-A-Fella label, one would think that the two performers would at least be able to get along in public, if for no other reasons than contractual obligations. So in the current world of 24 hour media coverage, one is left wondering if the personal attack was really the true colors of Siegel or just an attempt to gain a bit of the limelight.

Nevertheless, you can catch Kanye West’s next album release on September 11th, when it goes head to head with fellow rapper 50 Cent’s upcoming release.
