The Internet is One Big Knitting Circle

Knitting circles are supposed to be places for gossip right?
Anyway I saw this on Queerty this morning and I was immediately hooked and intrigued

This successful rapper has drawn headlines in the past over his alleged homosexual acts. Since the start of his career rumors have swirled that he plays for the other team. However in a recent interview, when asked about if there are any misconceptions about him that he would like to clear up he immediately defended himself calling the rumors nonsense. This particular MC burst on the scene with a catchy tune that had everyone using his trademark accent.However after three albums his celebrity star has seemed to have descended.

He had a bitter battle with another popular rapper and even accused said rapper of shady business practices. But has since resolved all issues with said rapper. This particular hip-hop star has delved into creating a female fashion line, which have further spread the gay rumor.

No matter how much he tries to deny the gay rumors theres [sic] a certain tattoo that seems to haunt him when people see it.


It was originally posted here asking the question "Which Rapper is Denying Gay Rumors?" and according to the comments people seem to think it's either Nelly, Chingy or The Game.
Well through my extensive knowledge and minutes upon minutes of research I want to try to deduce the identity. My original and pretty immediate guess was Nelly, fyi.

Since the start of his career rumors have swirled that he plays for the other team: A lot of people seem to think that Chingy's gay or at least bisexual. I really can't find anything for Nelly or The Game. A Red stripe for Chingy

This particular MC burst on the scene with a catchy tune that had everyone using his trademark accent: Nelly's first hit was Country Grammar and I remember there being maybe an accent, though I'm not sure if it could be considered "trademark" worthy. The Game is from L.A. and we usually don't have accents plus his opening single wasn't anywhere near as catchy as Nelly or Chingy. Chingy's first single (and the only one I know by him) was Right Thurr and I remember everyone everyone doing that "thurr" thing. It was annoying. An Orange stripe for Chingy

However after three albums his celebrity star has seemed to have descended: This one I had a little trouble with, interpretation wise. Did it mean after the first big album he had three subpar albums? two subpar albums? For Nelly I remember his second album being a monster, Nellyville, and he's only release two other albums since then (with another supposedly being released within a week or two) for a total of 4+1 and, at least in my mind, his celebrity has dipped. The Game has only released two albums, so that should maybe disqualify him (though he did make really homophobic statements so, maybe self hating a bit?) Chingy has released three albums with a fourth due by the end of the year. Hmm. Matches up well. That's a Yellow stripe for Chingy

He had a bitter battle with another popular rapper and even accused said rapper of shady business practices. But has since resolved all issues with said rapper: All of them have had beefs- Nelly with Eminem and KRS-One, Chingy was in a feud with Nelly and Ludacris. The Game with...just about everyone really. Though i haven't found any mention to business dealing so far for any of them. [UPDATE: Upon further research Chingy accused DTP of mismanaging his money. Winner.] A Green stripe for Chingy

This particular hip-hop star has delved into creating a female fashion line: The Game created a fashion line but it's for men. The Frank Pace collection. Nelly has had a fashion line for women for a few years called Apple Bottom so maybe that's it. Chingy has just launched a line call Pink Monkey, which is...interesting (and sounds like something I'd think a creative homophobic racist would call a black gay dude) I'm giving a Blue stripe to Chingy

No matter how much he tries to deny the gay rumors theres [sic] a certain tattoo that seems to haunt him when people see it.: The Game has a butterfly tattoo near his eye, but face tattoos are really scary so I don't think people would consider that "gay". Nelly has a bundle of tattoos though I can't see the specifics, though I'm sure there's one that has to be embarrassing. Chingy has a tattoo on his neck that says Daddy's Angel. And finally a Purple stripe to Chingy.

and we all know what red orange yellow green blue and purple in that order makes


Well, that was surprisingly one sided. All that's left to do is appear on the cover of Vibe (and hang out with Bow Wow.) Chingy has totally won today's gay sweepstakes.
(and this was soo much fun, I'm a little embarrassed.)
