Single Mothers Again!!
By: Tommy “Tj” Sotomayor

Lets get into it!

William James Adams Jr. was born in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 15, 1975, the son of an African-American mother Debra (née Cain) and Jamaican father William Adams Sr. He has never met his father, and was raised by his mother in the Estrada Courts housing projects in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

Will.I.Am is opening up about embracing his femininity in a recent interview! He says that growing up with his mom directly affects the man he is today.

On the ‘Diary Of A Ceo’ podcast, Will says he doesn’t view being feminine as a bad thing. Because he was so close with his mother, he gained her mannerisms, making him “ultra feminine”. Without a father figure, he had to figure out his own definition of what manhood is.

“Coming of age, I didn’t have a man in my life or a father in my life to guide me through that. My mom did that, which probably made me even ultra feminine, which I have no shame of being super feminine,” said Will.i.am.

“I remember in the ‘90s, we [didn’t] have the support in the LGBT community like [we do] now,” he recalled. “So growing up in the ‘90s, [people were] like, ‘Are you gay?’ A lot of people would question if I was [gay] because I was feminine.”“I’m still feminine,” noted Will.i.am. “I sit where I sit. I act the way I act. My mannerisms are my mom’s.”

He continued, “I’m strong with my femininity. I think it’s a superpower. When you know who you are, when you love who you are, how you are, how you vibe, that’s what it’s about.“I like girls,” the musician added. “I never was attracted to men. I’m attracted to females, but I’m feminine.

Will.i.am is not ashamed of his femininity.

The Black Eyed Peas frontman, 48, opened up about not acting in accordance with traditional gender roles on the July 31 episode of The Diary of CEO. 

“Coming of age, I didn’t have a man in my life or a father in my life to guide me through that. My mom did that, which probably made me even ultra feminine, which I have no shame of being super feminine,” said Will.i.am.

As a result, a lot of people would ask the “Pump It” musician if he was gay growing up.

“I remember in the ‘90s, we [didn’t] have the support in the LGBT community like [we do] now,” he recalled. “So growing up in the ‘90s, [people were] like, ‘Are you gay?’ A lot of people would question if I was [gay] because I was feminine.”

“I’m still feminine,” noted Will.i.am. “I sit where I sit. I act the way I act. My mannerisms are my mom’s.”

He continued, “I’m strong with my femininity. I think it’s a superpower. When you know who you are, when you love who you are, how you are, how you vibe, that’s what it’s about.”

“I like girls,” the musician added. “I never was attracted to men. I’m attracted to females, but I’m feminine.

Will.i.am’s discussion of his femininity stemmed from sharing how he felt a “distortion” at the age of 18, calling it “the hardest path in my life.”

That time ultimately inspired him to produce the 2019 song “Be Nice” with the Black Eyed Peas, which features Snoop Dogg on the track.

“There’s nothing wrong with being emotional,” he said. “When you’re creative, you’re always sensitive, you’re hypersensitive. That’s a part of creativity. You feel too much, and I feel too much. I empathize hardcore.”

“I’m the guy in the elevator that talks to strangers,” added Will.i.am, as he recalled times when he had 30-minute conversations with random people. 

“I don’t ever want to ignore folks that I can shed light on or they could shed light to me for no little nuggets that you give or receive,” he explained.
