THE FACTS
There’s a rumor that Kansas City chiefs running back Larry Johnson is gay, sparking speculation about his friendship with Jay-Z.

THE SPIN
In wishful thinking, go write a novel instead news, the rumor that gay-slur hurling, woman attacking football playing Larry Johnson is secretly into men – Beyonce’s man to be exact.

The blog, Gary With Da Tea claims:

We got a tip early this month from someone allegedly who works for Trump Tower:

I am writing you to ask a question. I work in the building Jay Z lives in Trump Tower and though him and Bee are together, I’ve never seen her in his building? But what’s strange to me……..I see Larry Johnson all the time in fact he lives with Jay-z. The other night they attended Cav & Nets games……..when did they become so close? and why is Larry living with Jay. I have some video footage from my phone of them together in the building. Is Jay gay?

Read this: The Chiefs have been talking to Johnson’s agent about a new deal, but the two sides still are far apart. A club source put the odds of Johnson holding out this summer at 50-50. Johnson, who owns a home in New York with rapper Jay-Z, showed up in Kansas City Sunday for the first time since the team began its voluntary workouts last month and has worked out with his teammates the last 2 days. He has indicated that he will attend the team’s postdraft minicamp in 2 weeks.

Now let’s look at the facts. I don’t know and don’t really care much if Larry Johnson is gay but here are just a few reasons that might provide some clues as to why folks have so many questions:

In addition to playing football . . . Larry Johnson is a male model - A profession so swishy that male ballerinas probably give them hassle (Note at least male ballerinas touch other women).

Speaking of facts, here’s one: Jay-Z doesn’t live in the Trump Tower. His apartment was in the Time Warner Building. It’s one of many properties – including those in the Tribeca and UES areas of New York.

Also, I read that Larry Johnson was living in Jay’s house in New Jersey, on his own while Jay was in the city.

Remember kids: Just because you remix a rumor doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more believable. This story is about as real as the “chicken” served at your local hood Chinese spot.
