A$AP Rocky bares his soul and gold grill for Interview Magazine …. According to NyDailyNews: A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is taking opportunity to tell readers of the April issue of Interview how he feels about ‘the gay thing.’ “Fashion was a natural thing to me,” A$AP Rocky tells designer Alexander Wang in April’s issue of Interview magazine. “It was just one of those things that helped me be an individual … and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things.” “For instance, one big issue in hip-hop is the gay thing. It’s 2013, and it’s a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It’s crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip-hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip-hop is small-minded or stupid — and that’s not the case. “We’ve got people like Jay-Z. We’ve got people like Kanye. We’ve got people like me. We’re all prime examples of people who don’t think like that. I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they’re gonna represent me. And if I’m gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way.” Hit the flip to peep a couple more shots from Rocky’s shoot…
