An upcoming New York rapper named Mykki Blanco came out last night both as a GAY MAN and as a man living with HIV.
MTO claims he said;
I've been HIV Positive since 2011, my entire career. fuck stigma and hiding in the dark, this is my real life. I'm healthy I've toured the world 3 times but ive been living in the dark, its time to actually be as punk as i say I am
Furthermore, he replied to his fans with more encouraging comments: “no more living a lie. HAPPY PRIDE … The music industry ain't gonna like i admitted this so if a curator could help me move more into the art world that would be awesome … thank you, hiding, being afraid of stigma is exhausting, we are souls not image's thank you brother … thank you its just today for everyone else knowing but its been 5 years for me, meds, garlic, limes,yogurt lol world travel. I just cant be an image living in fear having people call me brave and it being a lie. Thank you for your support.”
