ASAP Rocky says he's heard the rumors, but despite the judgment he gets for his fashion-forward style, he's not gay.

He tells the fashion website Mr. Porter, "Because they can't say that I suck, they can't say that I'm not handsome, and they can't say that my lyrics are wack, they say that I'm gay because they don't have anything on me."

ASAP adds that there's a reason that he always wears tight jeans -- he wanted to be a male model as teenager. "In 2005, I started wearing John Richmond jeans. I was into Prada and Dolce & Gabbana at the time, and that's why I started to wear tight jeans, because I wanted to be a model. I started to do freelance work for Calvin Klein, so I was slim and it just stuck."
