Footage leaked earlier this year which showed multiple men both giving and receiving oral sex, with many fans claiming Rashard could be identified in the video. But the TDE rapper, who has often shied away from press attention, finally addressed the issue at the opening of his set at Coachella 2022 in a video montage.
The montage showed the extensive coverage of the sex tape leak in interviews and podcasts with The Game, Joe Budden, DJ Akademiks and more, but also showed how the huge invasion of his privacy had “backfired”.
One voice is heard saying: “The purpose of doing that was to embarrass him. However, it backfired. When his video leaked, his streams and everything went up. He’s up on the charts now.”
Following the leak, fellow artists and fans rallied around Rashad, who had recently opened up about his struggles with addiction. In later footage from his set, Rashad became emotional and told the audience: “I see all the messages and all that s**t, all the positivity. “Y’all n****s done kept me alive these last couple months.”
Although Rashad did not confirm whether or not he identifies as LGBT+ at Coachella, fans applauded the “power move”. One said: “The first time Isaiah Rashad spoke on the controversy surrounding his sexuality is on one of the biggest platforms in the world. He gave a montage of all the blogs that reported on it. That’s a whole power move.”
