RiFF RAFF says he's waiting for the right lady.
RiFF RAFF, the Houston, Tex. rapper also known as Jody Highroller, is slated to become one of 2013’s breakout stars: He landed a spot on Diplo’s ever-hot Mad Decent label, collaborated with everyone from Skrillex to Action Bronson, and had James Franco bite his look in Spring Breakers. It’d be no surprise to see his forthcoming album, Neon Icon, land on multiple year-end lists; it would however, be a surprise to hear, however, to hear that the former G’s to Gents star still has his v-card, even if it’s been speculated on hip-hop forums.
Well, surprise: RiFF RAFF says he’s a virgin.
In an interview with Noisey—where the “Larry Bird” rapper drops references to virgins five times—he puts it bluntly. “I mean, everybody wants to marry me or have kids with me; it’s like that. And I’m like, I can’t do that right now,” he said. “I’m focused on me. And most of the time, I don’t even have any time to be dating or like, talking to girls or anything. I’m so busy and focused on what I do and stuff. I mean, I’m a virgin right now but hopefully one day I’ll find somebody who’s worth my time.”
Then, later: “I’m embarrassed that I’m a virgin. I mean, hopefully some day.”
There’s no saying if RiFF RAFF’s being serious, here, but he’s alluded to his virginity plenty of times in the past. See, for example, his Twitter:

Meanwhile, RiFF RAFF’s melancholy over finding a girl—and the right one—isn’t new territory for him. The melancholy “Time,” for example, has him pondering the fact that he has “no wife, no kids.”
So, along with being the rap game James Franco, he might be, as one Facebook commenter noted, a “rap game faithful Christian.”
