Keith Murray's 'Coming Out the Closet,' But It's Not What You Think

"It's bigger than Frank Ocean and Caitlyn Jenner," rap vet tells Hot 97.

Keith Murray made Hot 97 think he was gay, but he was actually just trolling for promotional purposes. 

The Def Squad rap vet was trending on Twitter today after he called into Ebro in the Morning to make his super special reveal. Naturally, everyone assumed Murray was having a coming out party live on air. “I got a big announcement to make...it’s bigger than Frank Ocean and Caitlyn Jenner,” he said before adding, “Keith Murray’s coming out the closet!”

OUT AND PROUD: FAMOUS LGBT COUPLES

After a few seconds of confusion and murmurs of “Wait, what?” from Darden’s co-host, they finally just asked Murray flat out, to which he replied, “I’m gay!" He further elaborated that he means he's happy. "I been happy all my f**king life!”

“I’m coming out the closet with new music and a new documentary," Murray reiterated. "I’m coming out the closet fresh and I’m tearing all these motherf**kas' up!”

After the announcement, Murray got more serious, speaking about his stint in rehab over the holidays. “I was drinking and I was smoking,” he admitted. “So I had to go in and clear my head and I got a psychiatrist. It was the best thing to do just to isolate myself.”
