Whether it was opening for Billie Eilish in Guadalajara, Mexico, starring in a new ad campaign, or topping the charts, Omar Apollo has had quite an exciting couple of weeks. Let’s break down what the 25-year-old heartthrob has been up to lately…
Apollo just ranked #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart for the first time thanks to the vinyl release of his debut studio album, Ivory.
The album, originally released in April 2022 via Warner Records, re-entered the Billboard 200 chart at #74, earning 13,000 equivalent album units, exceeding its original #128 peak. The album debuted at #3 on the Vinyl Albums chart and re-entered Top Album Sales at #12, setting a career-best.
Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart ranks the most popular developing artists of the week, and it looks like everyone’s favorite it-boy has come out on top–just where we like him!
Not only that, Apollo, fresh from his Grammy nomination and tour with SZA, has partnered with Buchanan’s Scotch Whiskey for the “It’s Pina” campaign to treat his fans. Directed by Mexican-American director David Camarena, the campaign includes a new spot set in Malibu with Apollo’s “Useless” as its soundtrack.
The “Evergreen” singer has promised an extra juicy summer for his fans, with events and recipes, such as the Buchacolada, that are sure to spice up any summer soiree.

So is he gay? Or just a young guy with his top off being the basis of this story?

He’s family.
‘He discussed his sexuality in an interview with NPR, saying, “I feel like in the beginning, I was trying to be mysterious and stuff, but now I’m just like — I’m very gay, so I’m just like, whatever.’

He’s actually gay. Not a queer baiter or gay for hire or “acting gay” for the likes/ praise. This is refreshing tbh.

Attractive guy. He reminds me a younger Pedro Pascal in some of the photos.
