Pop star @omar.apollo recalled the very moment it hit him that he was gay: It was while he was taking a shower. Apollo related how, just before becoming famous, he'd been living in a mold-infested attic where his "rent was $150, and I could barely pay it with what I made working at Guitar Center." "I had almost no money for food, but I'd uploaded my music onto SoundCloud, which is free," Apollo recalled to Chavarria. "A friend told me to also add it to Spotify – he even gave me the money to do it. I uploaded a song that day, 'Ugotme,' and it blew up." That was the start of Apollo's meteoric rise in the music world. It was, the recording artist said, also "literally the only way I could have possibly escaped that small, conservative town. I was making all these unrequited gay love songs." As for when he knew he was gay, Apollo recalled the exact moment for Chavarria, telling him, "I was 17 when it really hit me, and I remember I was in the shower like, 'Damn, that's crazy.'"⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio for more on @EDGEmedianetwork ⁠ ????⁠ ?: @omar.apollo
