A$AP Rocky has just opened up about his sex addiction. The rapper spoke candidly and without shame in an interview with Angie Martinez which is set to appear in an upcoming episode of Untold Stories of Hip Hop. Some teaser footage from the show, which is due to air on Thursday night, was just posted by TMZ.
In the sneak peak clip, Rocky explains that looking back, he thinks he was a sex addict from his early teens. “I was always a sex addict,” he says, adding that it all started around “probably junior high.”
When asked to clarify what he means by the statement that he was “always” a sex addict, Rocky responds plainly: “Like, I was horny,” he says. “I ain’t even had no sperm in my testicles yet, but I literally was just horny… I’ve been a sex addict for some time, yeah.”
When Rodriguez asks him if he’s capable of a monogamous relationship, Rocky answers: “Yes. Of course.”
This isn’t the first time Rocky has been frank about his sex life: in an profile with Esquire last year, he revealed that he regularly engages in threesomes, and had his “first orgy” at the age of 13. But in his interview with Rodriguez, he asserts that he is not embarrassed or ashamed.
“These are things that people stay away from, they don’t like to admit,” he continued. “I can’t be embarrassed about it. I wear my heart on my sleeve, I don’t do nothing that I’m not proud speaking of.”
