Queer New York rapper Le1f made his network TV debut last night on The Late Show with David Letterman, performing his hit “Wut.”

Le1f had previously complained that Macklemore ripped off the riff from “Wut” for his mega-hit “Thrift Shop,” and hearing it here you have to acknowledge the similarities.

Signed to Terrible Records, home to Grizzly Bear, Le1f, nee Khalif Diouf, says he’s over caring about being pigeonholed as a gay rapper:

At this point I know that I’m making the music I want to make regardless of how people talk about my music on the Internet. I don’t feel pressure to make anything because of how people talk about me… Just the fact that I have art that’s out there that people are paying attention to and enjoying is rewarding enough for me to not even be thinking about whatever else is going on.
