After showing a video montage of the press he received over the incident, he told the crowd, "I've seen y'all messages and all that shit, all the positivity.
Two months later, he addressed the controversy during his performance at the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. Isaiah Rashad made the headlines back in February, after a video leaked of him having sex with two men.
"I been just keeping my mind together and it's a time for my family to come together." "I haven't been thinking about it, man, honestly," Isaiah said. The rapper said he does not plan to take legal action against the person who leaked the sex tape, which was the catalyst for him coming out. “It's been a gradual thing over the last couple of years,” Isaiah Rashad confirmed. The full interview can be heard on Budden’s Patreon.He went on to say he has not always felt this way. Rashad told Budden that he wasn’t necessarily planning to go after the leaker with any kind of lawsuit. The rapper said that he is in a relationship, and that his current partner–who he referred to as “she”–has helped him through this period of personal growth and realization. “Out of everything, it’s been a blessing that, with that happening, my granddad dying a couple days afterwards, and my grandma going through what she’s been through, it’s been a concentration of family together, more than they’ve been before.” It’s been a time for my family to come together,” he explained. “I haven’t even been thinking about it, man. He also said that this challenging stretch has been a time for his family to come together. “Y'all n-ggas done kept me alive these last couple months." (Rashad said he actually crashed his car when he found out about the video.)ĭuring the conversation, Rashad spoke about the myriad of personal issues he was dealing with at the time the video was posted, including his grandfather’s sudden death and his grandmother grappling with a cancer diagnosis. “I see all the messages and all that shit, all the positivity,” Rashad told the crowd before launching into his first song. During that performance, Rashad shared a video mash-up of reactions to the news, including one of Budden himself talking about how the leak actually led to his streaming numbers and chart position improving.
His first response came at the start of his Coachella set in April. Rashad, who has always been judicious with his words in the media, didn’t address the leak for several months afterwards.
