What he posted and why it trended

He did not apologise for the picture or delete it at the time. Instead, he addressed the backlash and focused on his right to express himself.
How fans reacted so far
Responses split across lines of taste and values. Some fans praised his confidence and told others to stop policing bodies.
Others said the pose felt too revealing for a mainstream star. They argued public figures should keep intimate images off major platforms.
His reply stressed personal freedom and boundaries. “Those who have lost their freedom to ego and rigidity are in my DMs, calling me gay,” he wrote, rejecting the slur.
The comment reframed the debate toward self-worth and choice. It also underlined his ongoing effort to control his image.

He appears set to keep that approach. For now, he is clear that DMs will not decide his art or image
