Kreayshawn shared in an interview that she believes there will be more urban artists coming out of the closet in the wake of Frank Ocean’s revealing his bisexuality back in June. The Oakland pop rap star says it could be famous stars coming out or up-and-coming artists who are more open about their sexuality; nonetheless, she thinks this is just the beginning.

“I could see it definitely within the next year,” she said. “It could either be someone who’s already big coming out or somebody who was already out and just climbs to the top. Honestly, I don’t know if I could see the industry signing somebody who’s already openly gay because they’d be like, ‘I don’t know how to market that.’”

“I have friends who are gay and trying to get into the industry and feel like [they can't],” continued Kreay. “I think there’s just gotta be more people in the industry who want to say what Frank Ocean said. He can’t be the only one. Hopefully just more people come out and it becomes more obvious that, look, this is just how it is.”
