Omar Apollo, the Grammy-nominated crooner behind hits like Evergreen, isn’t here for homophobia—or shrinking himself to appease followers. The 27-year-old artist recently shared a provocative still from his film Queer featuring co-star Daniel Craig, and the internet had opinions.

But instead of shying away from the backlash, Omar served a masterclass in self-assurance.

The Post That Sparked It All

Omar posted a steamy, nearly-nude image from Queer, where he and Craig share an intimate moment. The caption? “Queer available on streaming now for all the DLs that didn’t wanna go to the theater.”

Fans and celebrities alike flooded his comments with praise. Troye Sivan even cheekily asked, “What platform?” But not everyone was thrilled. As followers trickled away, Omar noticed—and clapped back in style.

“Unfollow Me If You’re a Homophobe”

Omar addressed the exodus in an Instagram Story that oozed confidence: “I’m losing followers for posting this. Unfollow me if ur a homophobe. You’re not my target audience.”

The singer doubled down, adding, “I will never make myself ‘palatable.’ This isn’t my life; I AM life. Stupid.”

Yes, Omar! Normalize authenticity over approval.

The Queer Buzz

Directed by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name), Queer explores themes of love, loneliness, and self-discovery. The film has earned rave reviews, with critics applauding the raw performances.

However, it hasn’t received the critical acclaim it undoubtedly deserves. But that’s a story for another time—quite literally.

Omar’s Unapologetic Era

So to the followers who bailed? Your loss. Omar’s too busy being iconic.
