T-Pain says some rappers don't want to work with Frank Ocean because of his sexualityT-Pain has admitted that some rappers aren't keen on working with Frank Ocean as a result of his sexuality. The 'Channel Orange' man revealed via a letter in 2012 that his first love was a man. The news was somewhat revelatory as rap and hip-hop aren't generally considered very gay-accepting. Speaking to Vlad TV, T-Pain said that he thinks homophobia is still tangible within the community, saying: "I think the radio is getting more gay-friendly. I don't think urban music is getting more gay-friendly because if that was the case, Frank Ocean would be on a lot more songs. I know n***as that will not do a song with Frank Ocean just because he gay, but they need him on the f**king song and that's so terrible to me, man... What I do ain't going to affect nothing that you got going on."
