Laverne Cox discusses rappers pursuing her on Keke Palmer's show

Actress and author Laverne Cox shared anecdotes regarding two unnamed high-profile rappers who pursued her during her rise to fame. Speaking on the program ‘Baby, This Is Keke Palmer’ while discussing her memoir, ‘Transcendent’, Cox detailed encounters with both men.

The first rapper reportedly showed enthusiastic interest in Cox when she was first becoming recognized in the industry. Cox noted that while she found him attractive and was open to a connection, his energy eventually dissipated, which she attributed to him potentially dating someone else. She also remarked on hearing rumors regarding his personal preferences.

The second encounter occurred around 2015 at a Soho House event. Cox described this rapper as having a more direct approach, noting that his intentions were obvious to her friends. Although he asked for her phone number, Cox expressed hesitation, reflecting on how dating a famous figure might impact her identity and career.
