These days, people are no longer shy and afraid of the conventional thinking of their sexual orientation, and that might be the reason behind coming out of some celebrities. Likewise, some stars like their fans and followers wondering about their sexual orientation. So does Shawntae Harris, aka Da Brat.
American rapper Da Brat has never opened up about her sexual orientation but has been found dating both males and females. Is she straight by sexuality? Lesbian? What about her partner? Let’s find it out.
Behind Da Brat's Sexual Orientation: Gay Or Lesbian?
According to afterellen.com, in an interview in the year 2011, De Brat revealed that she likes to keep her sexuality private. She said:-
“I hope they stay fascinated with my sexuality because that’s something that makes them wonder. Some people feel like they know; some people feel like they wonder; and some people feel like they don’t know. So I probably will NEVER answer that question to make people keep on wondering.”

She also got questioned about her attire. The way she dresses up has created many thoughts regarding her sexuality. They asked her the reason behind dressing up like a guy. Da Brat answered them as:-
“When I dress tomboyish, I don’t really consider it dressing like a guy. I am a full fledge woman and I like to dress however I feel comfortable. So when I feel like getting glam-med up, and throwing on the Christian Louboutins, and the weave, or whatever I’m going to do to my hair, and push up my t****** in a push-up bra, throw on my La Perla, then that’s what it is and I’m comfortable either way. But when I’m performing or just, on the day to day, or in the streets, I’ll probably have my braids with my hat cocked to the back.”
Like it or not, Da Brat has a point. Because someone wears clothes a certain way doesn't mean it defines his/her sexual orientation.
