Andre King, Growing Up Hip Hop Star, Comes Out as Gay

Andre King has come out as gay.


The reality star, who is good friends with Angela Simmons and who is also the brother of Swizz Beatz, talked about his sexuality on last night’s installment of his WE tv reality series, Growing Up Hip Hop.


He also spoke to E! News about why he decided to reveal this personal tidbit to the world.



“I came to [my family] and I was just honest and I said, ‘You know what, I have something that’s been laying on me and I just really want to tell you guys something,’ and I just told them that I am gay and just identify as me,” King told E!.


“They were just really proud of me and happy and they all gave me so much love and just really said, you know, this is big.


“This is bigger than you doing your reality [show], this is your reality. That felt so good to get the love.”


Like so many other celebrities (and, heck, people in general) who have come out of the closest, King went on to say that hearing his family’s reaction to his news was a very “powerful” moment for him.


“It was so embracive and there was so much love, it felt like such a weight lifted off of me,” he noted.



How did his famous brother react?


Or his famous sister-in-law, Alicia Keys?


King said he was “nervous” to make his confession to them, but…


“I said I wish I would’ve come to them so much earlier and I probably wouldn’t have gone through so many things that I’ve been through,” he explained, adding:


“They literally were like, ‘Dre, it’s OK, we love you. We accept you no matter what. It’s all good. It’s all love."”



King concludes that Simmons has been nothing but supportive and helpful through this time.


And he does have some advice for anyone else thinking of making a similar announcement to friends, family members or loved ones.


“I’m kind of glad that everything’s happening now, everything happens for a reason and timing is everything…I feel like it’s a new journey, it’s a new chapter and it’s just great things.


“There’s been so much great feedback from my friends, my family and people that just know me. I can say it’s a powerful thing that I’m doing and people are like you’re going to inspire someone else to do the same thing, to come out and just let people know it’s OK to be you.


“It’s OK to be different. It’s honestly dope to be different.”


Amen.

Andre Berto -- I Should Be On "Dancing with the Stars"

Z STAFF


EXCLUSIVE


Andre Berto isn’t reeling over his loss from Floyd Mayweather ’cause he’s got his eyes on a new prize — reality television.  


We spotted Berto out in NYC the other day … and he definitely doesn’t have boxing on the brain after dancing around the ring with Floyd … telling our photog why he DESERVES a shot to be on “Dancing with the Stars.”


And if that doesn’t pan out — Andre’s got other ideas in mind. Paging Arnold Schwarzenegger …

Andre Berto -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. Screwed Our PPV Numbers!

Z STAFF


EXCLUSIVE

0918-andre-berto-mayweather-tmzAndre Berto got some new ammunition for smack talking Floyd Mayweather Jr., and he’s already unloading on him — blaming the champ for their fight’s historically low pay-per-view numbers. 


Somewhere between 400,000 and 550,000 people bucked up for the fight … the lowest PPV stats for a Floyd fight in a decade. Berto tells TMZ Sports, “It’s definitely Floyd’s fault, He left a sour taste in everybody’s mouth because of the Pacquiao bomb shell.”


Berto thinks Floyd underestimates how much fans hate his style of boxing, and that’s why they vowed to stop buying his fights — “As you can see they weren’t bulls**ttin.” 


Ultimately the low PPV numbers hurt Floyd more than Berto, since Floyd gets a cut of that. Berto got a flat $ 4 million purse, but says he still tried to put on a good show … unlike Floyd. 


“I knew if he had the chance he would run around and make it boring, but I tried my best to not let that happen and disappoint the people. They deserve excitement.” 


Rematch, anyone?

Andre Berto -- Don"t Sleep on Chris Brown ... He"d Kill Justin Bieber!

Z STAFF


EXCLUSIVE


Andre Berto‘s throwing a fresh jab at Floyd Mayweather Jr., and also getting a little too candid about his pal Chris Brown‘s lethal hands. 



Berto flew into L.A. Monday … fresh off his weekend loss in Vegas. AB had plenty to say about Mayweather lacking any punch during their fight — but the shocking part of this clip is what he says about a hypothetical fight between Justin Bieber and Brown.


To be fair, our photog raised the topic, and Berto just ran with it. It’s obvious Andre was NOT thinking about the Rihanna beating as he bragged … Chris “got them hands.”


Berto’s point is really that Bieber wouldn’t stand a chance, but let’s just say … he made an innocent mistake with his choice of words.
