Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.DotAsher Roth Addresses Gay Rumor
Monday, December 21 2009 3:52 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Guest List, True Story
This weekend, rumors swirled that Asher Roth was a homosexual. Clearing the air, Ash released this statement:
I hate to disappoint and take away the entertainment of it all but I am straight, not gay. It’s disheartening to know such “news” on someone’s personal life can be portrayed as fact with no viable source. This, to me, is an opportunity to expose our vulnerability to lies and manipulation through unprofessional and irresponsible news outlets, in which people consider TRUTH. Further, someone’s sexual orientation should NEVER be big news, as it delivers a troubling message to children that they can’t be themselves without fear of judgment. Race, creed, and sexual persuasion should not just be tolerated but understood and accepted. It’s extremely disappointing that this topic would be used with the intention of being hurtful. We are near 2010….2010!! Yet race, sex and religion still play a major role in a hate driven society. For the love of the future and humanity….let’s wake up.

can’t stand the man’s music, but this is a statement I am behind 100%
now i ask you, considering the fact that his music is not bad, but not great, dont you wish all our artists and role models spoke with such eloquence?
*dead @ the pic*
As I said when the rumor first started, its amazing what a blog/site will do for views/attention… Sad really..
first of all his girl in the pic looks like she’s paid to be there… and he looks like a dude who hangs out in Chelsea (that’s Gayville, NYC for those that don’t know).
why is he so bummy all the time and his music is not very good give him credit but the industry is using him cuz he sounds slim shayish…. be yourself man..
pepe le pew/static…what does that have to do with anything? you’re exactly the kind of people that he mentions in his statement. smh
(exhales,) It’s damn god to hear. A gay rapper would be the last straw for rap and HipHop.
Boom Bye Bye in a Batty Bwoi Head
We nah promote nuh batty bwoy di whole a dem fi………

SMH I REST MY CASE.
Thats some real shit he said right there gotta respect that..why should any persons sexual orientation be something to talk about? unless you not sure about your own..would you like it that was you in his shoes i wouldn’t think you would..i don’t really feel his music but it aint bad i’ve heard worse..but its a shame that people today actually take part in making another people feel low…
how can people hate on asher’s music? listen to the greenhouse effect, shits mad, lyrics, flow, varies his subjects? what more do you want from the him?
@ laipaixx… why should it matter? because homosexuality is wrong. and not on some religious stuff… it’s not natural. to engage in that behaviour is not natural no matter how much you feel you want to do it. same sex attraction is wrong. but should the people that engage in it be treated bad? NO! I look at homosexuals like anyone else with a mental condition… they should seek treatment not be persecuted for it.
I knew he werent gay, but as I said it shouldn’t mattter, what the big deal if he was anyway? Get over it. Jheez.
I don’t see why it’s such a big deal (his sexuality), I mean really? Homosexuality is wrong? Wow. No, it is not. I don’t tell you who you have to love. You don’t tell them who to love. bleh, I back Asher’s statement 100 percent.
[...] at RR var linkwithin_site_id = 39282; (function () { var elem = document.createElement('script'); [...]
Ignorance is a mental condition… asher’s statement is 1000000 percent right… grow up and move on clearly your hatred, ignorance, or disgustingness is doing nothing for your position. If you dont agree with it then dont partake but truth be told most of the peeps screaming all these hurtful and stupid quotes are joining in on the lifestyle… so shout out to pepe le pew and yardie_iute for going in lol
^ Not against or for it, but do research. Its a fact that homosexuality occurs in nature.. in many different species. For many people, same-sex attraction is natural. Maybe by “natural” you mean socially acceptable? When I think natural, I think occurs in nature. It comes down to a lifestyle choice to suppress your feelings and attractions or to be open about them.
Asher speaks truth.
He spoke the truth… Right on Asher!
(was at PePe)
lol, son. you wont get far with that. It might be wrong to you, and by all means, thats cool. i’m not trying to impose open-mindedness on you. But when you go out and criticize, point fingers (gayville comment) at others and try to force your beliefs on them, then THATS when it becomes an issue.
if you dont like them, then let it rock, how does it affect your day to day living?
and how can you go on to say that its not natural, wheres your extensive educational background in psychology to say that its a mental illness?
my last comment was for le pew by the way
To the communist, Pepe Le Pew… Child, shut your fucking mouth and leave your beliefs to yourself because when you take away the rights of others, you take away your own. Homosexuality, whether or not it is a biological defect or a fetish or WHATEVER THE FUCK IT IS………… it IS and probably WILL BE for a long time. And whatever is, must be respected by everyone, unless it is physically harmful to others. If you want to be gay, go for it. If you want to worship Lucifer, go for it. If you want to believe anything, do it. Just don’t hurt anyone and respect the beliefs of everyone.
You ignorant sheeple of a human. You disgust me.
@pepe le pew you are wrong about homosexuality being “not natural”and since when did man become the arbiter of what is natural and what isn’t? Doesn’t the world contain millions of things we don’t know ? Please step your knowledge of the subject up before you start espousing ideas that aren’t true, homosexuality is a minority behavior but one found across race, origin and even species. Check the list here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior
It’s funny you say it’s not natural as you sit on a computer made of wires and plastic. Maybe what’s wrong is judging someone who prefers something different then you. Maybe the one with the “mental condition” is the one who is hung up on others choices rather then living there own life.
@june… sex between two people of the same sex is wrong and NOT natural. it may occur occasionally in other species but it’s not the norm. as human we instincively are attracted to the opposite for the NATURAL need to procreate… not to just bust a nut. same sexes can procreate. when you’re attracted to the same sex there is something wrong with your “wiring” it’s that simple. it has nothing to do with hate. i don’t give a shit about what people do but the facts are the facts. that’s all i’m saying…
i honestly don’t think it matters whether or not he’s gay. its his choice, completely, and i give him mad respect for standing up for himself.
see, june knows what he/she is talking about…many animals have been known to mate with the same sex.
i’m just saying, before people go out and say something about race, gender, and sexual preference, ya’ll should really read a book or two.
I stay posted on the internet. Like all of those rap site, gossip blogs, twitter, myspace, facebook and all them social networking sites. But I NEVER heard the rumor about Asher being gay. Nigga wtf. Did he see a YouTube comment and decided to address the issue?
face the facts? WHAT FACTS? you havent presented anything but opinions thus far lepew!
@pepe le pew There is nothing wrong with being homosexual. It’s not a choice, people are born that way. Just because it may not be “normal”, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. People need to get with it; seriously, it’s almost 2010. There are many more open homosexuals around now, and although right now it may not be “normal”, soon it will be completely normal and everyone should just start getting used to it now. Stop the hate. (not saying that you do anything to hate against them, but just saying in general.)
On another note, the media is getting way out of hand. People need to be smart about where they get their information and what they believe. It is very sad to see how shallow these bloggers are. You’re willing to slander a man’s name just so you get a few more views on your site? Really? Become a good writer who conveys the facts and then maybe you’ll get some views. Stop riding on the coattails of famous people
I’m not the biggest fan of Asher Roth’s music, but I think that he is one of the better people in Hollywood,and seems to be a genuinely nice person. If you’re going to pick anyone to trash in the media, why him?
Are people THIS bored- To try to falsely exploit someone’s sexual orientation? You should realize that he’s certainly not gay, but, he’s not about to go all “let me get up in that shit and tear it up, pussy vagina pussy, sit on my face’. He’s clearly not into exploiting women, but then again if he WAS gay he’s still making good music and is well respected so GTFO. Unjust bigotry and intolerance is ready to be left in the past. Bring on 2010 with more mutual respect people.

@MK I dig it.
At least the false reports hopefully said “reveals he’s gay” and NOT “ADMITS he’s gay” even if it’s false I loved the naked cover of him that said he was…HOT
he’s completely right. we’re going into the year 2010 and after everything there is still discrimination. who are we to judge anybody? what makes someone so much better to say if his music sucks, or he dresses like a bum, or he’s gay? so what! worry about being your own damn self and let everyone else be what they want to be. at least they have the guts to be themselves and they dont go around judging the world like insecure people do. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!
that girl in the picture is hannah bronfman, daughter of edgar bronfman, ceo of seagrams, warner music group, one of the richest men in the country. her brother is MIA’s baby daddy/fiancee. asher roth, doin it biggggggggg get that cheddar
It’s sad he may be a drug dealer but Bun a bombo bloodclaat batty bwoy and gyal
if our fucking ancestors of the same sex used to fuck each other, our specie would have died. the human race would have been extinct. So thank God for our heterosexual ancestors who made it possible for us to be here.

I dont think ASHER knew what they mean when they said Hes GAY AS HELL,
it dont mean u diggin in a another niggas booty, it just mean that you Gay
Gay as in Faggot, and Faggot as in um, Asher Roth…
pepe and fake ass rude boy wannabe: countless animals, in NATURE, engage in acts of homosexuality.
homosexuality is a perfectly natural thing…get over it, and stop worrying about other people’s bedroom behavior.
awesome, you’re not gay, spec-fucking-tacular.
My Mum told me shes’s 100%!! sure that Asher is not gay! . . . after reading this statement im proud to call Asher Roth and idol.
ok im just gonna say tht asher is fuckin AMAZING!!!!!! yea…. i just felt like sayin tht lol nd ik all of his songs nd u can tell tht hes definately straight lmao but anyways it rlly shouldnt matter oh nd damnn he sure knows how to make a statement i mean seriously lol he smokin hot thts all i hv to say hahaha
Hes exactly right! even if he was a homosexual it doesnt matter. Leave people alone
I’m also not a big fan of his music, but I co-sign his respond.
yardie fake ass ute…sad bitch ass….be a man and grow up….bwoooy
Way too many ignoant people in this thread. Pepe le pew might be one of the dumbest people to ever comment on a thread. Wiring?!? honestly? theres no such thing as a right way to act or be. its all about preference. Maybe youll understand a simple concept if I break it down for you, heres an example. You may like black licorice but majority of the people might not. does that mean youre messed up and need help because you like it but MOST other people dont. everyone has different desires and different paths in life. I’m a big fan of Asher as an artist and as a person regardless of his preference. At the end of the day its really about the type of person you and what youve done with your life, not what you prefer. It’s sad to see some of the reactions of some of the people when they heard these rumors. To be honest, if anyones wiring is off its yours (in general), for the simple fact that you cant accept good people for who they are. rather you wont accept them because they are different. You are why we can’t make this world a better place. Ignorance. I disagree and I think its horrible that you speak like that, but me, im a human being im not judging you or hating on you as a person. Just saying that youre attitude is disgusting. Anyway, go Asher. Let the haters do their thing and ignore it because at the end of the day youre reaching people through your words and making a difference in someones life while these people cant accept that they have failed to do so.
@ kidem, Go fuck your fucking self with a fucking knife in your ass. There is nothing fucking natural about Homosexuality in human beings
We are an intelligent specie which throughout history have built complex civilizations. You wanna that science talk fine. Human beings as a specie decided that in order for us to survive, men would have to fuck woman, and families would have to include, 1 the provider and protector(the man) and 2 the care giver and nurturer (the woman). Why the fuck couple million years later you wanna change something which our specie has perfected (heterosexual fucking and procreating, fucking and creating family units) it and it is not a matter of evolution for survival.
@Drdizzle
Go fuck your fucking self with a fucking knife in your ass.
of course ash is gay. all the white boys are gay nowadays. they got no other choice. we fuckin all their white girls. ahahahahaha. those poor little faggots.
Although I don’t hate gays, I still co-sign yardie. We’ve perfected everything so far and if we let ourselves become attracted to each other then society as a whole will collapse. If your gay, fine. Don’t expect yourself to be like me to which my ancestors have built civilization through civilization. Men and women TOGETHER produced the greatest minds ever. How the hell are gays going to contribute to society? By dieing and leaving nothing behind? Go ahead, adopt all the orphans you want. It doesn’t fucking matter. If your a genius and you have a child then your genes will be passed on to him/her. Which will then produce more greater minds. I’m not intolerant of them. I’m intolerant of the fact that the religious gays think that they will be forgiven.
