WATCH! Somizi 'was never in the closet'

Despite what many fans may think, Somizi has never had to come out as a gay man.

Speaking on 947 recently, Somizi shut down any suggestions that he had lived in the "closet" when fathering his daughter.

"I've never been in the closet. I've never said that I'm straight. When you come out, is when you've been claiming to be straight. Have I ever?" Somizi asked.

Somizi said that he was always gay, even when he met his baby mama.

"She came to me, she likes me, and I made it clear. I said: 'I have a boyfriend'...Don't you think by now she would have gone to the papers or said: 'I was hurt. I was devastated when I found out that he was gay'. She said: 'Okay!'" Somizi insists.

He admits that he may have been bi-sexual at the time that he had his daughter, but is adamant he was not straight.
