Lil Nas X, Saucy Santana, Ice Spice: LGBTQ rappers are queering hip-hop fancy never before
LGBTQ hip-hop is here and proudly gender non-conforming — and it’s been here all along.
Gender-bending provocateur Lil Nas X struck gold with his Top 10 pop hit “Star Walkin’” this spring when the song sold a half-million copies, marking his 10th single certified by the Recording Industry Association of America at the time. Viral emcee Saucy Santana, who received a cosign from gay representative Madonna when they teamed up for a Pride Month performance, got a nod for a MTV Video Music Award for a performance of his Billboard Rap Airplay hit “Booty.”
And rap princess Ice Spice is melting down heteronormativity with her red-hot victory. The rapper gave a breezy shoutout to her queer sexuality on the song “Bikini Bottom,” taken from her Top 5 rap EP “Like..?”
While these rappers have ushered in an “unprecedented visibility of LGBTQ hip-hop” with their queer-friendly lyrics and aesthetics, they join a storied lineage of queer pioneers – including Age of Approval, Medusa and Deep D--kollective – who have been pushing the envelope in hip-hop since its inception 50 years ago.

Since then, the "Old Town Road" rhymer has continued to wave the flag for rappers in the queer community, helping drive the movement further into the mainstream.
Young M.A has been forthright about her sexual orientation from the jump, speaking freely about her sexual preferences often in her music. She's even embraced it on a new level, having come out with a line of sex toys called Play NYCe in 2020.
