The hilarious tweet has now gone viral.
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Omar Apollo wants you to know that does indeed engage in sexual relations with men!
The "Evergreen" singer has had quite a year. He dropped his debut studio album Ivory in April, performed at Coachella and Austin City Limits, went viral on TikTok, landed his first Billboard Hot 100 hit song, and has been nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy.
With the surge of new fans comes the natural inquiries into his life. Apollo sings love and breakup songs on his album, but one fan still wasn't quite sure about his sexuality.
"Is Omar Apollo another queerbaiting singer?" the fan tweeted. "Like those type 'i don't label myself let me wear cropped and paint my nails and I say I find another guy hot' cuz I like his song but I don't like supporting straight men doing queerbaiting."
If we've learned anything from Kit Connor's outing in Heartstopper-Gate, queerbaiting can be much more complicated when you're applying it to real-life people, but Apollo answered the inquiry in the best way possible.
"No I b sucking dick fr," he tweeted. "From the back."

That's our boy!
The response has now gone viral. At the time of publication, the tweet has over 230,000 likes.
Next time someone thinks Apollo is queerbaiting, refer to this tweet! Matter of fact, let's just have it projected onto the Grammys 2023 stage! The homosexual agenda is alive and well!
In 2017, his song “Ugotme” became a breakout streaming hit while he was working at a fast food restaurant. He's song "Evergreen" became a hit on TikTok and is his first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
Apollo's debut studio album Ivory was released on April 8, 2022.
Apollo is 25 years old.
