50 Cent recently sat down with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton for an interview in which he opened up in his support for gay rights. The G-Unit rapper also opened up about his experience as a child growing up with a lesbian mother and how he came to understand sexuality.
"My mom was a lesbian. Yeah, she liked women. My whole childhood was like that," he revealed in the interview.
According to Fiddy, it wasn't always clear that his mom was gay, but his grandmother helped him understand the nature of her sexuality:
"It's two different things too - from a female perspective, when you see two females together, you think, oh, they're just girlfriends, they're close. But, with my mom, the male was missing," he explained.
"When you're that small you don't see things that would indicate there are other things going on," adding that his grandmother would help him understand by saying things like: "'That kiss was a little different from all the other kisses you saw.'"
Fif also threw his weight behind President Obama's recent endorsement of gay marriage saying: "Obama is for same-sex marriage. If the president is saying that, then who am I to go the other way?"
