First Openly Gay Rapper Makes History Performing On Letterman (@Le1f)



New York based rapper Le1f made television history as the first openly gay rapper to perform on a late night show.


The rapper performed his single "Wut" in a denim skort similar to Kanye's kilt from his The Throne show this week.

Host David Letterman chose ignore his sexuality when introducing him. "Our next guest is a New York rapper and producer, and he's making his network television debut with us right here tonight, so that's great, thank you very much for that. His new EP is titled Hey or Hey! Please welcome Le1f."

Le1f thanked David Letterman on Twitter for not focusing on his sexuality and making a mockery of him.


"thank you so much to @Letterman for inviting me to perform on his stage as a musician and not as a spectacle. that's major."
