In the wake of Frank Ocean stepping out of the closet, Le1f’s latest release has received controversial reviews, both negative and positive.

In his own words spoke to The Source he stated:
“I am gay, and I’m proud to be called a gay rapper, but it’s not gay rap. That’s not a genre. My goal is always to make songs that a gay dude or a straight dude can listen to and just think, This dude has swag. I get guys the way straight rappers get girls. I’m not preachy. The best thing a song can be called is good.”
