US rapper Lil Peep has come out publicly as bisexual.
The New York-born musician, real name Gustav Åhr, opened up about his sexuality in a series of to-the-point posts on social media on Tuesday (August 8).
“Yes I’m bi sexual” he wrote in a simple four-word tweet, before asking followers “who wants a kiss?”
Lil Peep, a rising star of the underground music scene who’s generated buzz online over the last two years with tracks including ‘White Wine’, ‘Star Shopping’, later shared a picture of himself making a smoothie on Instagram, which he captioned with a statement about his sexual orientation.
“Bi sexual smoothies with lil peep oh my god I’m gay as f**k,” he wrote, before adding: “but I still love girls wats going on.”
