EXACTLY WHO WAS THE GAY RAPPER??

By L.T. Dinwiddie
Do you guys remember that story I covered almost a year and a half ago regarding Caushun The Gay Rapper?

Well Ahh.com is shedding more light on that story and you’ll be shocked to know that the only skill the gay rapper had was..well I cant say it but involves another man. In an exclusive interview obtained by AHH contributor Tanisha Alston apparently the entire thing was a fabrication—a complete hoax.

The man behind the effeminate lyricist wasn’t only straight, but was also a prominent European artist. This is what he told AHH.com regarding the salacious incident:

AllHipHop.com: How did the whole Caushun thing come about?

Ivan Matias: It started out as a prank that we pulled on Funkmaster Flex. A couple of us were hanging out at my crib. The Bash Brothers were there, a Black magazine editor, a major record company publicist and a music publicist. We were all sitting around listening to the radio and decided we wanted to prank Flex while he was on the air. We said let’s call up in a flamboyant way and get on his records he was putting out at the time. [The Funkmaster Flex 60 Minutes of Funk series] Let’s make up this character and call him up. It was a funny thing. He wasn’t really trying to hear it. Even though he didn’t let me spit the rhyme, the next day and night they were all talking about it on the radio. The next day, we decided to call Angie [Martinez] and try it again. She let us spit. She thought it was hot. That became an internal joke. For two weeks we would take songs that were classic Hip-Hop joints and act as if the artist really existed. People were really buzzing about it. One of the people suggested that we get someone to pretend to be the face of Caushun and send them to the station. So, I called Jason.

AllHipHop.com: So Jason Herndon became known as the face behind the voice of Caushun?

Ivan Matias: Exactly. I grew up with him. His voice was like the voice I was putting on the radio and he was out there. I reached out to him. He was an assistant hair stylist at Oscar Blondie. He wanted to get up in the mix. He wanted to do it so he could get his name out there for hair and use it for his career. I recorded a joint and gave it to him. He went to the station and delivered it and they were feeling it. FULL STORY
