Kanye West is worried people think he is gay.

The hip-hop star admits he has "feminine ways" but now realises they helped make him a success.

Kanye told Britain's GQ magazine: "What if your drawbacks ended up being your superpower? I've always had an issue with masculinity. I'm like, 'I hope this person isn't looking at me like I'm a fag.'

"I do have feminine ways. Maybe I'm not the guy who kicks off a fight in a club. Now I'm 30 I've accepted that. Because of that I ended up having a number one album - people are tired of that.

"I've realised everything I'm not made me everything I am."

The rapper also revealed he once had a close encounter with a drunken fan in the toilet.

He said: "I was in a club taking a p**s and this guy was making comments like, 'Mr East!' just drunk and acting stupid, and he slaps me on the back to get my attention. And I told him, 'Look, I don't feel comfortable holding my d**k with another man's hand on me. Unless you want me to turn around in the middle of this…' "

I never knew being gay was a drawback Mr. West. Stop discrimination now.

This just in: Straight men don't like being hit on by gay men or being accussed of being gay.

Big deal, let him feel how he wants to feel and don't call it discrimination.

Real mean don't care what anybody thinks of their sexuality because it is their business and only their business. But anybody who complains so loudly about homosexuality might have a little 'down low' lurking in their libido...As William Shakespeare put it, 'The lady doth protest too much, methinks.'

Straight men may not liked to be hit on by gay men, and straight women may not liked to be hit on my gay women, but did you ever think that gay women don't like to be hit on by straight men and gay men don't like to be hit on by straight women. And for that matter, straight women don't always liked to be hit on my straight men!!!! Don't discrimiate against others who do not share your values, beliefs, religion, etc.

A straight man is what he is - A straight man, and a gay man is exactly what he is - A gay man. It is ridiculous to equate either to that of a pervert or sex deviant. If such the case, you would find more straight men at fault.
But I do think Kanye West is gay, he might not indulge in gay sex but his heart is! Culture can really impact on one's fears and Kanye is a perfect example of his culture...No man as cocky and assertive as Kanye should be so concerned about his manhood unless he is afraid his fears will be realized.
