So the rumors are true about Wale?
As some of you may know, the Soul Train Music Awards are set to tape in Atlanta tomorrow night at an undisclosed location.
That means the city is currently being overrun by music industry folks and celebs who have stories to tell to those who are willing to listen. And seeing as I am such a good listener (especially when industry folk are dropping juicy gossip) I was all ears this weekend!
Who knew that newcomer DC rapper Wale, whose CD Attention Deficit leaked this weekend, was on the down low?
This is what my credible source tells me. I’m told that Wale was able to navigate the industry maze so deftly because of his gay connections within the industry. “How do you think he was able to get top shelf artists such as Rihanna and Lady Gaga on his first album?,” one exec asked me over a plate of fried squid and crab cakes at dinner Sunday night.
The exec recounted tales of down low music industry A&R and a casting couch environment within the industry for rappers who are expected to turn tricks to get put on. The exec dropped names like Jim Jones and Jay Z, etc. He said that Wale sounding like Metrosexual rapper Kanye West is no accident.
“There’s a certain formula that works right now and [Wale] is sticking to it,” the exec told me, adding that Wale received Kanye’s blessing to bite his style.
He said it’s no secret that Wale is bisexual, which shocked me. Isn’t Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles dating him, I asked.
“It wouldn’t be the first time that a heterosexual woman in the industry dated a bisexual man,” he responded.
By the way, if you didn’t get a chance to listen to Wale’s excellent CD, you should! Make sure you cop Attention Deficit when it drops on November 10!

This is ONE of the many reasons WHY I will always RIDE FOR YOU… But YOU ALREADY know this Ms. Sandra
I haven’t heard rumors about him being DL but anything is possible nowadays…oh well another one bites the dust which confirm why I will not take my man or our relationship for granted like I have done in the past!
Wale is not go
I KNOW a couple of “hood girls” he done bust down. Well i guess that doesnt really mean he’s gay but i 
he’s not i think he is so cute. DC stand up
Typo “not gay
@Lovely
Im standing for DC but girl it does make me wonder how he got put on so quick and a lot other brothas out here with just as much talent and being looked over…just saying…
*looking at sandra sideways*
Where is the damn NEWS??!!!
@LL…
I LUV the WAY you caught yourself !!! 
So is this sudden obsession with Wale because he dates Solange? There was post over the weekend and NO MENTION of this dudes sexual preference and now it’s all you can talk about. WHO CARES WHAT HE LIKES!!!!! DO YOU LIKE HIS CD?
E - you ride with Sandra because she accuses everyone of being gay or DL? I’m confused.
I don’t even care anymore..just give me good music..more than two tracks that are decent and i’m cool…to hell with all the down low satan worshipping mama’s boys that really hate women that hate themselves fake wannabe studio gangstas pedophiles spreading diseases baby daddies…did i get it all?
lol @ E Love
@Choco & Lovely y’all are right. I remember running into this guy at H20 on the weekends. I too wondered how he got on so fast…Most people outside the DMV don’t adapt to the gogo beat and that’s been his style.
I think he got robin on his album because he is on roc nation and him and lady gaga may be friends..
Wale isn’t that young and he isn’t dating Solange but I agree with Lovelylady he is cute in his own sort of way to me at least.And I doubt he is gay
And his album should be decent.
I mean really the theories that people easily cosign and accept these days are crazy as hell.
So because this person says or thinks it then it must be true. O.k then what?
maybe im not feeling Wale like everybody else.
Sandra where is some morning wood and Im tom bout finENESS, not “that watered down shyt you be serving to the customers”
I was hoping we could get a mornig wood with Lance Gross but I haven’t seen it yet.
Well, they callin’ homey gay..so I guess that means he made it.
As usual SR is DEAD WRONG, but hey if it generates hits..WHO CARES RIGHT???
lol @ 2beme. I’m with you - someone could be playing Let’s Get it On while he chops down a goat - I don’t care.
Doesn’t affect my life any if somone is gay/straight/bi or whatever, so why would that matter to me. If the music is meaningful or touches me - I’m good.
I mean, who are we to judge???
**crickets**
Check out Steve Harvey appearance on TBN. It will bring tears to your eyes. Check out Character Corner. It is the 3rd post.
aiight well FINE, i’ll just go watch ANTM on youtube right quick and check back later…
So Wale and Drake are DL? I don’t know about this one!!!!
@Shauny
NAW, Ms. Sandra TALK ISH because she KNOWS ISH …
And that’s ALL I’m going to say regarding that topic
Can we please get a post on 50’s new vid Baby by Me it’s a really cute vid.(Even though fifty irking me right now i still stans for him)
lol his music is a dc gogo hybrid i dont think his cd sounds nothing like kanye would put out. but if i hear rumblings at the soul train awards ill let yall know lol
Daisy who is this man with dem sponge rollers? LOL.. LOL a gangsta with sponge rollers.. LOL
Peach that is Missys pic not mine LOL that is Lance Gross though
Missy that 50 vid is nice!
Elove if you say so
When will it end, when will it end, Y everybody has to be gay or bi, just crazy.
MMMmmmmm Interesting….. NExt>>>>>
Didn’t read comments yet
BUT
is up with BET & ATL
All their shows is based around ATL locals. And all the award shows are taped there. They need 2 rename the show to 106 & Peach.
Yeah i like the fifty vid it’s really cute and curtis looked so sexy in the vid.I like they had the multiples in the vid they are so cute (Sometimes i wish i was a triplet).
I’ve been asking for a post on it but oh well i’ll continue to wait.
That industry exec might want Wale to be gay, but that will probably remain their fantasy. As far as I know, this child is not gay. As far as him popping out of nowhere, that’s fiction as well,I don’t know how 5 plus years trying to get heard = put on so quick in anyone’s dictionary.
Anyways I think he can be a dick most times so I’m not playing Voltron for this azz, however Sandra I don’t think you got this one right at all. This dude still salivates around pretty chicks
@Daisy
EXCEPT for the Trey rumors !!!!!
For WHATEVER reason she just don’t LIKE Ol Boi
LOL…. Sorry Daisy.. I was looking at your 50 post thinking about that stupid picture…
Good lawddddd I’m in love with 50 all over again!!!! I’m geting to old for this!!!
(Rememeber when Akem (From coming to America…gives the old lady the ruby earrings that Lisa didn’t want whe she found out he was a Prince.) well in her voice “I’ll have a baby by you 50″…LOL
@ELove, please shed more light on how you KNOW Wale is gay…
I haven’t heard anything new Wale has put out, so I don’t know how much gogo he has on his new material, but Go-go music is embraced outside of the DMV uhreah (ooh I hate that accent and damn Parasucos!) Remember Amerie’s last hot single & even a Beyonce & nem track had go-go influences on their beats. Thanks Rich.
Mmm look at Jay licking them lips. Thanks for the pic. There go yall morning wood right there.
OK I DIDNT READ THE WHOLE THING BUT WHAT DOES JAY HAVE TO DO WITH WALE BEING GAY/ON THE DOWN LOW?
2KaraZ… I didn’t post that - Ms. Sandra did
@iscream
@missy
SHE’S a Certified GROUPIE for that dude…
ONLY An Exorcism would rid her of that Madness !!!!!
Well I hope Wale is not on the DL cuz the brotha is cute to me but shoooot lately that may be the first question you need to ask a brotha and then what is his STD status…
@Missy
This may have been for entertainment purposed but their was a poll for the ratio of well endowed men…DC came in first and NYC came in third ATL was somewhere on the list I found it amusing cuz I’m from the DMV and while some dudes dissappoint most don’t : )
missy Says:
@iscream
There is no way that is morning wood…… I doubt he meets the requirements.
Looking at that 2nd picture of him I will have to disagree. I love to see him smile.
********************************************
yep, that’s him. not impressed. and remove some of of d!ckstick from those schlung sucking lips. who is this guy? why a kanye knock off when kanye is still here?
undisclosed location? wow, the soul train awards are THAT irrelevant.
[…] to SandraRosa and her keen ear reports, I’m told that Wale was able to navigate the industry maze so deftly […]
@Choco - i wasn’t really meaning their “wood” i was referring to the post Sandra use to have (rarely posts) when she posts a fine young man in the morning.
______
@ Elove - i agree with you about iscream
______
@iscream well at least you got yours i’m waiting on lance now
Wale is Nigerian. Y’all better be careful, they are gangsta!
Seems like ‘Gay is the New Black’ and in fashion.
@ReadTheBlog… I’m Nigerian. I am not gangsta
Wale is a twat, he’s not gangsta either.
@eLove, for a second it seemed like you were cosigning Sandra assertion, thats why I asked for clarification.
@KaraZ
I don’t know how serious she is about this BUT if SHE IS… She’s rarely wrong — So STAY TUNED
I agree, Sandra is rarely wrong, especially when she quotes one of her “inside” sources… this time I think her source might have Wale’s stank azz as a wet dream & just hopes he’s gay, because if this dude is down low he’s a great actor (trust me he’s not) plus & my gaydar has been fully functioning since 6th grade.
@ Elove - i agree with you about iscream
______
@iscream well at least you got yours i’m waiting on lance now
I didn’t even see ELove comment to me. 
***********************************
I don’t know how yall don’t see it? I really think Jay is a good looking dude. His smile. I mean look at him he has a nice set of teeth (which I love). It’s those dreams I use to have of him that has me open. I swear I find him sexy. & to hear him speak just drives me crazy. I may play devils advocate but on the down low (well not really) I lust for some Sean.
Bey is a lucky B.
I am not shocked!!!! I work in the music business and I have a hard time getting things done because I am not crossing over or I am not in some of the down low clicks. I have have seen a lot of things go down right front of my eyes. The crazy thing is, when they see I’m not down with the click, then I become the plague. They be like “We thought you were down,” sorry I am not KIDS!!!!
[…] were just as angry, and since when was 3/5 a hater review? Lolz. Anyways, Bol posted by way of Sandy Rose, that Wale apparently worked his way through the industry via ARs and I don’t mean artists […]
