So, without further ado, on the 9th edition of LGBTQ Bopz ๐๐ถ (2022), we highlight ๐ต โBi Frenโ performed by ๐ Omar Apollo.ยTheme & Lyrics โ
โI still like him, I still like him / I used to drive around your block without no license / Separate you and your bitch, Iโm not no hyphen.โ Hmm, sounds queer to me!ย The thing is, no one knows precisely how Mexican American musician, ๐ Omar Apollo, identifies sexually.ย His music, however, doesnโt shy away from sexuality, and by sexuality, beyond those standard heterosexual relationships. In the second verse of the captivating ๐ต โBi Frenโ (๐ฟ Apolonio, 2020), Omar clearly has issues with his โfriendโsโ girlfriend: โI hate your bitch, so I dipped out and jumped the high fence / He talking โbout hi friend, Iโm talkinโ bout bi friend.โ
Thereโs clearly significance in the โbi friendโ lyric, which speaks to his friend being bisexual and of course saying goodbye because he has no more use for him… well, sort of. In the third verse, Omar sings, โI wanna see you all night but I know you donโt care / Not in love, but Iโll be right hereโฆโ Youโre not in love, Omar? Hmmโฆ Anyways, in the chorus, we presume this guy is whom Omar refers to as he sings, โYou is not important / You a memory / Tryna get the green.โ Still, doesnโt it feel like thereโs bitterness? Heartbreak? Rejection?
Final Thoughts ๐ญ
If โBi Frenโ does happen to be true, Iโm trying to understand why this guy wouldnโt want Omar Apollo? I mean, letโs be honest โ heโs a stud! Regardless, โBi Frenโ is a song Iโll never get enough of nor can I stop writing about.ย Literally, look at the Appears in ๐ฝ list and see how much Iโve used this groovy, pop gem!
