Hot 97 DJ Mister Cee opens up about prostitution scandal, maintains he’s not gay in GQ interview
He confessed his penchant for gay prostitutes in a riveting radio interview four months ago, but Mister Cee remains adamant he's not gay.
In a new interview with
GQ magazine, The Hot 97 DJ described his interest in transgender hookers as an eccentric, kinky obsession.
"Absolutely not," he told GQ when asked point-blank if he's gay.
"And it's nothing — it's no offense to transgender women, but I only get with transgender women for one thing and one thing only, and that's for oral sex," he said. "Like I said: I never had sex with a man. I never had sex with a transgender woman."
The wide-ranging interview, shared exclusively with the Daily News ahead of next month's issue, delves into Lebrun's sexual history and the start of his walk on the wild side.
He said his interest in paid sex began after a girlfriend broke his heart in 2000.
He gravitated to strip clubs to numb the pain and started having sex with the staffers, he said.
Lebrun moved on to the "other thing" — the cross-dressing prostitutes — around 2005 or 2006, he said.
He said when he was busted for public lewdness with a man in 2011, and the incident made the Daily News, he felt like his life was over.
"Literally dead, in the casket, in the coffin,"
he told GQ.
"I would buy 2-liter Fanta Orange, 2-liter Sprite, 2-liter root beer — and I live by myself — just guzzling them. That's how I was getting through my pain, f---king going to sleep and drinking soda. And I'm not even a soda drinker. I drunk so much soda to the point where my diabetes — my sugar level went so high, I started getting blind," he said.
Cops busted him again last May, but he continued to duck questions.
"It wasn't even about losing the job. I was just afraid of what the perception was going to be about me and that people was still going to want to stand behind the Mister Cee brand," he told GQ.
When blogger and drag queen Bimbo Winehouse released a video in September showing Lebrun negotiating a price for oral sex, the New York radio titan immediately resigned from Hot 97.
But the next day he was back on the air, trying to explain himself to fans.
"I know that I'm still in denial, because I know that I love women. Any woman that's been with me know that I love women. But occasionally I get the urge to have fellatio with a transsexual, a man that looks like a woman," he told listeners. "And then I'm sitting here saying, 'But I'm not gay,' because I haven't penetrated another man."
