Earlier Sunday, the shocking news spread through Twitter and blog sites across the web like a virus. The suburban up and coming white boy rapper Asher Roth has come out of the closet to reveal that he's gay. (No, Eminem is not the only white boy rapper these days) According to the rumor, the I Love College hit-maker had recently appeared alongside Lady Gaga and out & proud gay American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken at a Gay Rights Parade, came out of the closet last week and will make an appearance on E! News this week around the Christmas holiday to admit he is, indeed, a "gay rapper". Supposedly, he had also confirmed he is the gay rapper discussed in the controversial book, Hiding In Hip-Hop: Confessions of a Down Low Brother in the Entertainment Industry, by Terrance Dean. And he resides in a gay section of New York. He has also reportedly been dropped from his label, SRC Records.
Surprised? I was...kinda. I was skeptical too.
Well now, apparently the president of Roth's record label are dispelling those rumors:
As Executive Vice President of Loud.com / SRC Records, I would like to address the recent internet rumors about Asher Roth:
Asher Roth is not gay, and is not scheduled to be interviewed on the E! Channel. Furthermore, Asher has not been dropped from SRC Records, and is a top priority at the label after having sold over a million copies his "I Love College" single. Asher is currently working on his next album for SRC.

So, is Asher Roth one of the Kidz or not? I'll keep my warm "welcome to the klub" and wait to hear from the horse's mouth. *Wendy voice* How YOU dewin?
