Daddy Yankee Hires Publicist to Help Deny He is Not Gay
The first thing Im going to say is that he is spending too much time, energy and money on denials, that he either think being gay is the worse thing in the world or he is gay. I say right now on adamfoxie blog* that he most be gay. To me anything else makes no sense.
I care about finding out about anyone making public negative statements about gays and being gay themselves. Those if I have the opportunity I will expose; But otherwise I don’t care, particularly for a performer I never really knew before until he started making headlines about his strong denials.
Gays with any type of Gaydar know that strong denials and fear of gays means that the guy is probably gay. Guess what? Now Im really interested know and I hope I am able to blog that he is indeed is gay because he came out or maybe one of his ex boyfriends would come out.
LA Herald says:
For weeks, the Spanish-language media and bloggers have been working themselves into a lather about the sexual orientation of Daddy Yankee, the reggaeton king known for his pumped-up macho stage presence and raunchy musical declarations like “Gasolina.”
The blather reached a crescendo Wednesday after photos of a man resembling Daddy Yankee kissing another man surfaced on the Internet and were picked up and reprinted by other outlets. That set off another round of innuendo: According to some accounts, Daddy Yankee released a statement acknowledging that he is gay, and asking the media to respect his and his family’s privacy.
“I am a human being like any other, with virtues and defects, and I don’t believe that this is a defect,” he was quoted as saying in a putative “statement” to the press and his followers.
But according to other reports, the 36-year-old singer born Ramon Ayala used a press conference to castigate the rumor mill for spreading falsehoods. “Now, again to you ignorant ones: the Internet is where the lies become truth and truth becomes myth. Wake up, bobo!”
The speculation and rumor-mongering started spreading after Daddy Yankee was asked at a press conference his opinion on gay marriage. The rapper responded in Spanish that, “I have people on my team who are gay, and I respect them entirely and give them work.” As for gay marriage, he believes it’s a matter for governments and religious figures to settle, taking full regard of human rights.
An agency identifying itself as Daddy Yankee’s publicist has refuted rumors that the Puerto Rican reggaeton artist had publicly acknowledged he is gay.
Wednesday afternoon, the offices of Nevarez Communications and Perfect Partners in Florida issued a statement that reports circulating throughout various social media outlets regarding the artist’s sexual orientation were completely false.
The statement contained a quote attributed to Mayna Nevarez, president of the public relations firm Nevarez Communications:
“Online blogs and social media are once again to blame for the spread of false news reports, which other media outlets have also shared regarding a public figure. The reports circulating regarding Daddy Yankee’s declaration of homosexuality was falsely written by an online outlet known for fabricating false information and spreading it through social media sites.”
