Milan Christopher Claims Jussie Smollett Kept Him From Getting on \u2018Empire\u2019 and That He\u2019s the \u2018Father of Black Gay Hollywood: WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

Milan Christopher, rapper and\u00a0Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood\u00a0<\/em>star, came out hard<\/em> against actor Jussie Smollett on The Armon Wiggins<\/em>\u2018 show yesterday, claiming that Smollett stopped him from getting on Empire<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Christopher claims that Smollett bad mouthed him around Hollywood because he was intimidated by Christopher and wanted to be the \u201cit\u201d Black, gay<\/a> actor.<\/p>\n

In a rant worthy of Kanye West, Christopher posted an Instagram post [since taken down] where he railed on and on that he was among other things, \u201cThe Father of Black Gay Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christopher\u2019s prose had manic self-aggrandizing quality that\u2019s almost disturbing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a lengthy\u00a0rant that seems to have had no real point, except to brag\u2026Milan wants us all to know he fathered us and we are all his sons,\u201d reported Aazio<\/em>s, <\/a>which captured the rant before it was taken down (see below).\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cIn his rant he mentions several of his accomplishments which are all great but sir Karamo was the first openly gay<\/a> male<\/a> to have his real <\/em>relationship play out on reality TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karamo refers to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy<\/em>\u2018s Karamo Brown.<\/p>\n

His claims are multitude but let\u2019s confirm what we can:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the first openly gay<\/a> Black male<\/a> to have his relationship played out on Reality TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

FALSE: Sean Sasser, who was Pedro Zamora\u2019s boyfriend on The Real World San Francisco<\/em> certainly was before Milan\u2019s time. Sasser passed away years after Zamora, from HIV complications in 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the first Black celebrity to be a spokesperson for PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylactic) aka Truvada.<\/p>\n

TRUEish: Christopher was in last year\u2019<\/strong>s\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>F*** Without Fear\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0HIV prevention campaign, the Los Angeles LGBT Center<\/a> teamed with Christopher to launch its new\u00a0<\/a>\u201c<\/a><\/strong>PrEP<\/a>\u2019<\/a><\/strong>d AF<\/a>\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0outreach campaign. \u201cThe main goal is to raise awareness that PrEP prevents HIV without impacting people\u2019<\/strong>s ability to have active and fun sex<\/a> lives, reported <\/a>HIV Plus <\/a><\/em>last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the same interview he doubled down on his claim that \u201ca lot of rappers are secretly bisexual<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more attention the campaign gets, the more people it reaches and, hopefully, it reaches men<\/a> who have sex<\/a>\u00a0with men<\/a> who don\u2019<\/strong>t identify as gay<\/a> or bi<\/a>,\u201d Christopher continued. \u201cA lot of influential people in the music industry follow me on social media, so [hopefully] this reaches them.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll skip to the end which is the part that\u2019s more fun and [I\u2019m sure] unintentionally hilarious: \u201cI\u2019m fine AF [True], I have a beautiful smile [We\u2019ll give him that], banging body [obviously], fat ass<\/a> [no comment], and a big a** dick<\/a> [unconfirmable at press time].\u201d<\/p>\n

Comedian Sampson McCormick, who also has been an \u201copenly Black celebrity\u201d who has been a spokesperson for PrEP,<\/a> said of Christopher\u2019s rant: \u201cHe\u2019s an a**hole, I wish people wouldn\u2019t give him the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
