In a highly-anticipated interview with Joe Budden, Isaiah Rashad spoke for the first time about the sex tape leak from earlier this year that showed him in bed with another man.
The “RIP Young” rapper told The Joe Budden Podcast host that he identifies as “sexually fluid” and that he isn’t interested in pressing charges against the person who leaked the video because he’s trying to “keep his mind together.”
“It’s been a time for my family to come together,” he told Joe. “Out of everything, it’s been a blessing. With that happening, and my granddad dying a couple of days afterward and my grandma going through what she’s been through, it’s been a concentration of family together more than it had been before so if anything, I can’t be mad at everything about it. I always gotta look at the brighter side.”
Elsewhere in the interview, he elaborated further on what his sexuality means to him.

“I’d say I’m sexually fluid,” Rashad said before Budden asked him to explain. “I’m still learning about it myself. I’m putting my head in the books to find out the basics of it but basically, I’m not in full control of when I walk into a room who I’m attracted to.”
He continued, “I’m more attracted to a personality. I’m more attracted, sometimes, to intellect. Sometimes, it be just attracted to somebody.”
