After years of speculation, rapper Da Brat finally admitted to something most of us knew already: that she was a lesbian.

Last week, the So So Def maven decided to come clean about her sexuality after her girlfriend, Jesseca Dupart, CEO of Kaleidoscope Hair Products, gave her a car for her birthday.

“I guess I should just say a few things about it since this is the show that I’m on and everybody else talking about it and I did make a post,” she said on Rickey Smiley Morning Show last Friday.

“I’ve always been an advocate of privacy, pretty much to protect the interests of the other party involved. Because if you’re not used to this life and the scrutiny that come with it, it can break you,” she said.

“I’ve been talked about for way over 20 years or more so I’m kind of conditioned for it. My coat of armor is pretty thick so I learned what to say and what not to say and the battles that I decide to choose to fight. Most the time I just stay silent and let people speculate.”

She later said the reason why she kept quiet for so many years is because being gay wasn’t accepted especially in the rap world back in the day.

“I never confirmed anything because in the ’90s, it wasn’t cool back in the day,” she continued. “I’m a little bit nervous because I’m not really used to talking about this thing because I’m not a public person when it comes to my personal life.”

The car, a white Bentley, is an early birthday gift. Da Brat, real name Shawntae Harris, will turn 46th birthday on April 14.

Now that she has come out, maybe other well-known black celebrities who we have speculated over the years could be gay, will now come out also.
