"Eve has claimed that more hip-hop and R&amp;amp;B stars should come out as gay. The singer praised Frank Ocean&amp;#039;s honesty last year when he admitted his first love was a man, and insisted other closeted artists should follow suit.   &amp;quot;Frank Ocean was ridiculously brave, to do what he did, to be true to himself that way,&amp;quot; Eve told Gigwise. &amp;quot;In hip-hop, there are a lot more people that probably should come out. &amp;quot;I was pleasantly surprised by the reaction of people, because it was mostly positive.  &amp;quot;I was shocked and happy about how people were and it made me think maybe things were changing and people are more accepting of things.&amp;quot; Eve recently released her new album Lip Lock, which feature collaborations with Missy Elliott, Snoop Dogg and Cobra Starship.
