Da Brat Says A ‘Weight Has Been Lifted’ Amid Coming Out 20 Years After Her Industry Debut
While people had long speculated about her sexuality, rapper, actress and entrepreneur Da Brat is opening up since coming out in March, over 20 years after her industry debut. She says it feels as though a “weight has been lifted.” The reveal came as her partner, Kaleidoscope Hair Products CEO Jesseca Dupart, bought Brat a white Bentley as an early birthday gift.
During an interview with Variety, Da Brat repeatedly said, “It feels like a weight has been lifted.” She explains, “I’ve always felt like being private is the better way to go, because then you don’t have so many people in your business. I was fine staying quiet, but my partner is a social media mogul — that’s how she became who she is. And when you get with somebody, you have to meet in the middle. So to me, the middle was just letting everybody know: ‘Hey, she’s the one.”

On the March announcement, Brat says, “Jesseca was showing me some pictures and we were going back and forth, joking ‘I’ll post it,’ ‘No, I’ll post it.’ So when she did, I was like, ‘Oh s-–t! I just came out after 20-something years!’ But it feels good to share with the world when you’re happy.”
As Brat gears up for her first time celebrating Pride since coming out, she adds, “To me, Pride is loving myself and not making excuses for anything: Live in your truth. If I can inspire someone or help somebody to deal with their issues and their sexuality, then I’m here for it.”
