7 Celebrities Who've Denied Gay Rumors
Hot 97's DJ Mister Cee was caught soliciting a male prostitute in Brooklyn this past weekend (May 4), according to the New York Daily News. And it wasn't the first time he'd been involved in a gay scandal. In 2011, Cee pled guilty after being arrested for receiving oral sex from a man in his car. The DJ spoke out against gay allegations, stating that he merely has an addiction to prostitutes and enjoys quick sex. "Let’s say for argument’s sake, let’s say I’m lying…that’s my choice," he said. "Even if I am lying and I choose to not come out, that’s my choice."
Sounds iffy to us, but Cee's not the first famous figure to deny being gay. Click through for 7 other celebs who've ducked the rumors.

"It’s all BS. He jumps on the fact that he’s an attention whore. He wants that attention because B2K was huge and everybody knows how big B2K was. And when something like that is stripped from you and you can’t get any fame, you go to the extreme measures and the dude is psycho…"
