Omar Apollo Denies Rumors of Feud with Troye Sivan

Background of Sivan and Apollo’s Careers

Troye Sivan is still touring for his successful 2023 album Something to Give Each Other, while Omar Apollo just released his latest album, God Said No, in 2024. Although they are both singers who identify as gay men, no animosity seemed apparent between them… until recently.

Omar Apollo’s Reaction

On Friday, July 12, Apollo wrote on X:

“The fact that you think I have issues with Troye Sivan is hilarious. He met my dad and I met his mom at the last concert we played together. A very nice woman. I understand, though, that negativity is attractive. I expect nothing less from this app, lol, he’s always been a great friend.”

Apollo added a cheeky joke to this statement:

“Meanwhile,” he wrote in a message accompanied by a photo of him seemingly sniffing poppers. This photo is actually a screenshot from the official visualizer of Tamagotchi – a song released in March 2022 from Apollo’s album Ivory.

Fans’ Reactions

Apollo’s song Tamagotchi and its official visualizer preceded the release of Sivan’s single Rush and its music video in July 2023, which more explicitly addresses the experience of using poppers. However, Apollo clearly wanted to provoke by sharing this post right after denying any drama with Sivan, clearly just to annoy fans. Some fans didn’t understand what drama Apollo was referring to, as there hadn’t been much discussion about a possible feud between the two singers.

Clarifications from Fans

One fan, X user @Struggle_Apollo, shared examples of what he thought Apollo was referring to. This fan attached two screenshots of X posts that seemed to pit Apollo against Sivan, writing:

“Don’t be stupid. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean people aren’t talking shit [crying emojis]. (Troye’s fans saw Omar’s message and assumed it was about Troye).”

We’re thrilled to hear that there is no conflict between Troye Sivan and Omar Apollo. But one question remains: when can we expect a collaboration between these two artists ?
