Janelle Monae has caused thousands to reach for the online dictionary after speaking about her sexuality in a new interview with Rolling Stone.
Monae spoke about the fact she has had relationships with men and women for the first time with the music magazine, adding that she identified with the term "pansexuality".
"Being a queer black woman in America, someone who has been in relationships with both men and women – I consider myself to be a free-ass m-----------."
The magazine says that Monae "initially identified as bisexual", but "then later I read about pansexuality and was like, 'Oh, these are things that I identify with too.' I'm open to learning more about who I am."
