So, I saw this thing online the other day about Omar Apollo, and it got me thinking. The title was something like, “Is Omar Apollo Gay or Bi?” I mean, who cares, right? But it did make me curious enough to dig a little deeper. I started by just typing the question into Google. You know, the usual late-night internet rabbit hole.
The first few results were all over the place. Some gossip sites, a few interviews, and a bunch of fan speculation. I skimmed through a couple of articles, and it seemed like Omar had mentioned his sexuality in a kind of vague way before. One quote that caught my eye was from an interview where he said something about reflecting on the moment he realized he was gay. That sounded pretty definitive, but then there was also something about him dispelling “queerbaiting” allegations. I mean, can you really blame him? Everyone is trying to figure out your business.
I moved on to Twitter because, let’s be real, that’s where the real tea is. I searched for Omar’s handle and scrolled through his tweets. I stumbled upon a funny tweet from him, something about not choosing to be gay. He said “It’s not a choice, it’s just what I am”. Okay, points for being straightforward, I guess. His fans in the replies were super supportive, which was nice to see. People talking about how this world is going to be a better place because of things like this.
Then, things got a bit weird. I found some forum posts and articles talking about rumors that he dated Frank Ocean. Apparently, some podcast host mentioned it, and then the whole internet went wild. I mean, if it’s true, good for them, but it’s also none of our business, right? Anyway, I didn’t spend too much time on that because, honestly, it felt a bit invasive. He doesn’t owe us an explanation, it is what it is.
Here’s what I gathered:
- Omar Apollo is a singer. He’s 25 years old, born on May 20, 1997. His real name is Omar Apolonio Velasco, which I thought was pretty cool.
- He’s talked about being gay in interviews, though not always super explicitly.
- He had a funny tweet about not choosing to be gay.
- There were some rumors about him dating Frank Ocean, but who knows if that’s true, and honestly, who cares?
In the end
I spent like an hour on this whole thing, and you know what? I didn’t really find out anything groundbreaking. Omar Apollo is a talented musician who happens to be gay. That’s it. That’s the whole story. The internet can be a wild place, and sometimes it’s better to just appreciate the music and leave the personal stuff alone. I just wish that people would just let him live. I put on some of his songs and called it a night, I think that you should do the same!
