Janelle Monáe has addressed long-standing speculation over her sexuality, telling Rolling Stone that she’s had relationships with both men and women and currently identifies as pansexual.

“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 motherfucker,” she told Brittany Spanos in the cover story. She adds that, having originally identified as bisexual, she later “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.”

Monáe has previously let questions regarding her sexuality go unanswered, declining to elaborate in a recent New York Times interview on her rumored relationship with Tessa Thompson. (She offers no comment on her dating life in the Rolling Stone story.) As early as 2013, she was sidestepping questions on whether she dated women, telling Sway in the Morning, “I want women to still be attracted to me. Go get my album! I want men to still be attracted to me so I have to be political in this. So I can’t really tell y’all!”

Monáe’s new album, Dirty Computer, features Brian Wilson, Pharrell, and more. It’s out tomorrow.
