Trey Songz and Nicki Minaj Hit Filled with Gay Subtext

07/30/2010- by Natasia Langfelder

Is the Nicki Minaj and Trey Songz hit, ‘Bottoms Up’ filled with gay subtext? Does it mean that Trey Songz is gay? Mediatakeout.com seems to think so. The urban media outlet has long been reporting that they have heard rumors that the popular R&B singer is keeping it on the down low. The theory is that the title of the song, ‘Bottoms Up’ is refering to the more sexually passive partner or the one that is penetrated in gay lovemaking. Bottom used to just refer to man-on-man love, but it has now entered queer venacular and is widely used among men and women. In the context of the song, ’Bottoms Up’ is clearly a double entendre, refering to both drinking bottles of alcohol at clubs as a status symbol as well as to sex.

Bottoms up bottoms up
ever see your cup
got a couple bottles but a couple aint enough
Bottoms up bottoms up
 

Bimbo, the gay specialist at Mediatakeout.com says that they could have named the song anything, but bottoms up is too apparent. He’s kind of right, there are ways to say the same thing without using queer venacular, in ‘How Low’ Ludacris raps, “face down, ass up” to get his point across. He says that the song might be Trey Songz saying he’s a top. I don’t know Trey Songz, so I don’t know if he’s gay straight or bi. But the song does seem like a bisexual anthem, even featuring out and proud bisexual Nicki Minaj.

The rest of Trey’s chorus says:

Bottoms up bottoms up
pocket full of cream

Which again refers to money, but can also refer to uh, other things of a more sexual nature. Again, all of the sexual references used by Trey are unisex. While he does say, ‘girl’ a lot in the song, this doesn’t cancel out the ambigous bisexual references.

calling all the girls do you hear me
all around the World city to city
cheers to the girls no to the guys

Nikki Minaj lends her light touch to the song by screaming about rims, as in margaritas of course.

Can I get salt all around that rim-rim-rim-rim?

Then, she says she’s going to f*ck a bitch. Ahem, like fighting though, not the sexin. Right?

If A Bitch Try To Get Cute, I’ma Stuff Her.
Throw A Lot Money At Her, Then Yell “f-ck Her!”
fuck Her. f-ck Her. Then Yell “f-ck Her!”

She closes her rap with a shout out to bisexual media personality, Anna Nicole Smith. Which cinches together the LGBQ focus of the song.  

Do You Like My Body? Anna Nicki.
Rest In Peace To Anna Nicole Smith.

Of course, it’s all speculation buuuuttttt, like Bimbo says, as crazy as Bimbo is, they could have said anything else…and they didn’t. So what do YOU think? Is this a bisexual anthem for the club or is it just a hot joint?
