- In Starz’s drama series ‘P-Valley,’ Lil Murda is an aspiring Chucalissa-based rapper who yearns for fame beyond his little city. While spending a night at The Pynk, he encounters the strip club’s owner Uncle Clifford and strikes a connection with the latter. Irrespective of the several complications, Lil Murda and Clifford nurture a fascinating companionship together. As the show progresses, the rapper confronts the need to hide his relationship since it can harm his emerging career. Since Murda’s relationship with Clifford is a significant part of the show, fans have been curious to know about the former’s sexual orientation. Well, let us share what we know!
Is Lil Murda Gay?
Lil Murda’s sexual orientation is undetermined. Ever since the beginning of Lil Murda and Uncle Clifford’s intricate relationship, admirers of the characters have been wondering whether the former is gay. According to J. Alphonse Nicholson, who portrays the character in the show, Lil Murda is exploring his own sexuality. “He’s [Lil Murda] still trying to figure it [sexual orientation] out. He’s a mix of emotions. He’s a complex and layered guy, and he’s really trying to find himself and who he is. I want people to see him as that,” Nicholson told TV Guide.
Even though Lil Murda’s relationship with Clifford is intense, it is also tumultuous since he is yet to exactly understand and label what it is, which is evident when he tries to hide the same in front of Rome. Still, their relationship and feelings matter irrespective of Lil Murda’s identity or label. “Love is love. Any type of intimate feelings between two people can be real. Sometimes people just want to have a good time. It’s more common than we think,” Nicholson added.
Nicholson, who identifies himself as heterosexual, looked back on the homophobia that prevailed in the all-Black community he grew up in while preparing for the role. He considers portraying Lil Murda as an opportunity to be a heterosexual ally. “Taking the part I was like, ‘How can we mend these relationships? How can I understand Black gay men, all gay people, and be an ally?” he told TV Guide in the same interview. “These conversations need to happen more in the Black community, and we can get to a place where we accept someone for who they are, simply because of who they are,” he added.
Katori Hall, the creator of the show, had also expressed how the intimacy between Lil Murda and Clifford is significant. “We are used to the heteronormative visual articulation of sex in media. Proud to be part of this groundbreaking moment in tv [Lil Murda and Clifford’s sex scene] where we can explore black intimacy in all diverse ways. There is diversity within diversity,” she shared. Lil Murda may figure out his sexual identity/orientation as the intimacy between him and Clifford grows.
No, Lil Murda is not based on a real rapper. The character is conceived by creator Katori Hall. However, Lil Murda’s resolution to overcome his insecurities and fears to build his career as a rapper may have parallels in real life. Through the character, Hall also explores the homophobia of the hip-hop scene. “Homophobia is especially rampant in the hip-hop world with some still having to choose between success and truth,” the creator shared. She cites the example of Lil Murda being asked to hide his relationship with Clifford from Rome.
“How many gay Southern rappers can you name? Woddy rolling up on Lil’ Murda before his big performance to advise him to keep his burgeoning relationship with Uncle Clifford underwaps comes out of a place of protection for Lil’ Murda’s career,” Hall shared. Even though the rapper is yet to determine his sexual orientation, he still fears the homophobic nature of his community. Hall, with the depiction of Lil Murda’s fear, explores how hostile any community can be.
Lil Murda’s songs in the show are originally sung by the actor J. Alphonse Nicholson himself. However, the character is fictional and isn’t connected to the actor’s life.

He’s a very secure man. I applaud him for his boldness in his acting. Beautiful wife 😍
They sold they soul and they all don't gaf everybody gay in the industry athlete rappers everyone

A secure man wouldnt do anything he didnt want to do for money
@@yadielmassa8857 😂😂💯💯💯💯
I have watching P Valley for 2 seasons now and have fell in Love with Lil Murdah. He's sexy and he plays his roll to perfection. You do your thing Lil Murdah. You've go my support.
No matter what he is (not that it matters) he's fine.
Facts 💯
Yeah......No REAL MAN not bout to play no gay dude in no movie or nothing else ‼️ PERIOD
Exactly clap
Even if he is gay it shouldn’t matter. But he is a talented actor
Yeah he should get out the closet
Says who?
@@mariarodgers5387 wym
@@yadielmassa8857 maybe you should mind your business....that was a very immature statement
I don’t believe he’s bisexual but this is just my opinion, of course. He’s an evolved human being who has an opened mind and is an artist who has no limits as it applies to telling a story that needs to be told. The story of “down low” men and the struggles they face with having to hide their sexuality. If your favorite actor was playing a drug addict does that mean that’s who they truly are? If your favorite actress was playing an abusive mother does that mean that’s her true character? Elite actors & actresses understand their true purpose is to expose the lives of the unexposed. To exploit and tell the stories people are afraid to tell. I think he does an excellent job at this and is brave. Bravo to him. ❤️
Worded perfectly!
But your right this is going on with rappers athletes everyone lol
This was said to perfection
It the actor was really using the drug then yes..lil Murda really tongue kissed a man and put his dick on the man ass and smacked it..that’s going way too fucking far for a straight man who is married to a woman …at some point it’s no longer acting it’s committing the act.
Couldn’t of put it better myself
His wife is so gorgeous !!!
She okay
Being a man from Mississippi, the way he treated his wife, is that old-school way. I am a white man, but I love my caramel queen. and I treat her as such. I believe the man goes, makes his money, does this thing, and don’t apologize to anybody. Let the man live. There’s some parts of the show, that really bring light to our ways and our culture in the Deep South. Love it!
Whewwwww....when he said "come on pretty baby"! Aghhhhh my heart melted!
Awwwww he said “come on pretty baby”
He a gentleman fr 🙌🏽
I love it!! When he told her “ nah you look too beautiful” …my heart💜
If he played the role a murder, he's a murder in his real life? If he played the role of a drug dealer, he's a drug dealer in his real life? If he a played the role of a wife-beater, he's a wife-beater in his real life? Why do we think these things about our actors and actresses?
@areda. thats a good example. but i wonder how much gender/sexual fluidity actors play gay or straight. it seems like most actors that play gay characters are gay. It Seems, not saying they are. I never know people sexual preference unless they say it, i.e, Neil Patrick Harris or George Takei. While the late great Michael K. Williams seemed to playbit both ways or undefined. I don't really care what people do in their private lives, but I wonder how type casting goes for people who play gay characters on screen.
If u a man kissing n fuckin on a man u gay don't matter if it's on TV or not
Thank you!!! I thought the exact same thing. It's called acting. The farther away from their comfort zone helps to perfect their craft and expand to different audiences. I don't understand people with the mindset of labeling an actor as something, based on a character they play. J. Alphonse is a great actor and I'm glad he took this role.
Right, they are just doing their job acting!❤️🔥
@@TheHollywoodPost I will say from the interviews I've seen with the actual gay actors, most of them do not agree with this. They look at it as straight people taking roles from them. Kind of like white people doing black face to play a black character because people wouldn't hire a black person, or when men used to play women characters because women couldn't have roles. They say it's hard enough for them to get rolls because of the fact that they are gay but then they can't even get their own roles (as gay/bisexual men/women).
I’ll never sell my soul for no amount of money there’s a reason actors like Denzel and Sam Jackson and many others never took these type of roles it doesn’t make a man wrong or homophobic some shit you can never get away from and people will always see your body of work sometimes good acting comes with a bigger price just my opinion
facts but people don't realize that #But in my opinion no real str8 man is not about to do a scene like this for money #U see how Brandon Jackson regret putting on that dress.. but just cause someone married with kids does not mean nothing because I know a lot of married men that get down ... but it's more behind that Hollywood life that's very dark that people don't realize
@@lateaselee9357 shit ain’t worth it there are a million roles a man could play in order to get noticed but this one right here is a no go they will always question his sexuality and his fan base will always be limited I’ve never watched the show just saw clips on social media and videos of him talking and his logic makes no sense you can’t call other actors homophobic or anything because they choose not to accept roles like this in my opinion if he was gay it would have been fitting but the fact he says he isn’t and has a wife and children is like wtf like my father would never ever
@@lateaselee9357 starz ain’t paying that much damn money you can tell that to someone else
I can't make out with a man for a check..just saying..I respect that he can..but I was raised different..and playing that role would be hard for me..but I salute him 💯
Exactly cus he gay
Ican't waitt o see him win an Oscar cuz he already won our 💜
In 10 yrs we’ll even see will smith again💀💀💀
J. Alphonse Nicholson’s resemblance to 50 cent is UNCANNY!!!!
I’m just saying……🤔🤨🧐
His wife is a beard. I would need a divorce after that show.
*pretty baby* is the cutest nickname he has for hs wife
This man is not gay or bisexual; he’s an actor, a good one at that. It’s obvious since his performance has us believing he is ‘Lil Murda ‘
Excatly he acting
No he gay
Idc if he was gay, he’s handsome and a great actor and I loved his character lil Murda since episode 1🥲♥️♥️
Lol I can't wait to be on tv shows so you can see me
Im sure the wife came before the role .
@@thetruth1635 absolutely. My comment was referring to the ignorant comments saying he do too much in his role.
I don't believe he's gay or anything like it. He's secure in is musculinty and ain't afraid too place his actor because he knows who he is
The woman doesn’t even want to be in the same frame as him
Man he’s handsome
Yes Lawd!!😜
His wife is beautiful, Lil Murdah! Ayyyyeee

Who Cares When We May Never See Him Again in P Valley 😢 ... That Pesky Lawsuit is Postponing This Great Actor From a Great Show But As They Say in Hollywood... Here Today, No More Seasons Tomorrow.
I love him
But didn’t he kiss a man?
Yes...but actors don't really see it as kissing. And also those characters are also paid more to play those roles.
He's beautiful
Heathens & Demons.. after all they done to our Ancestors & still doing it Let Us Pray.
Damn lil murda really gay 😔😔😭
His :::::(BEARD)::::: in the beautiful suit is the real ACTOR. He’s just being himSELF!

Who cares that’s his business.
Agreed
Cause bitch he play a gay nigga on TV we wanna know WTF
@@TheHollywoodPost talm bout agreed nigga YALL ASKED THE QUESTION
@@TheHollywoodPost clearly y'all care
@@tomcruise2741 apparently you do as well. Commenting. 😂😂😂
He's married with 2 kids so no.
That don't mean nothing but I think he's straight.
Boy that don’t mean shit 😂😂
@@gmdtv5791 right I hate when people say that
lol I’m married with 3 and I’m still bi.
@@gmdtv5791 right exactly!
Is he gay or not gay in real life is not a bad question. Yes it's his business but thousands of the fans wanna know.
dude is in a relationship with a female and they have a baby on the way. i would assume hes str8. if he played a doctor on tv would u think he was a doctor in real life?
Wow! Some people missed the point. With all the LGBTQ stuff going on today. I see nothing wrong if people wanted to know if he is, or, if he not. He is a big star on the show and I'm sure he has been asked. He in the the spotlight playing the roll and no one cares about someone playing the roll of a doctor. What a poor comparison. And many are married having or had children living on the DL.
@@atlboo98 he is actually married n has been for years to a woman n they have a 10 years old .. his character is based on DL rapper in the industry today .. the person u speaking of Is the one who plays diamond
@@btv3067 no im talking about the actor who plays lil murda. i knew he was in a longterm relationship but i did not know they were married. and from my understanding they are expecting another baby. thanks for the correction!!
He's married to a woman
He such a man 😍 his wife lucky
Y’all it’s acting… playing pretend.. got damn
What’s lil murda yt
An he married to beautiful black chocolate woman. He such a sweet heart. Lo I g on wife they way that he do
Lil Murda based on Plies that's just my opinion

He’s acting , it’s a role .
