She also began to be embraced for the queer identity that she'd always been open about—in her 2014 Complex interview, she referred to herself as bisexual and had never made any attempt at walking that back as her profile grew—and in April of 2018, she took to Twitter to clarify her sexuality as it stood at the time. (The newfound curiosity owed to her 2017 track "Honey," an acoustic ode to an old girlfriend, and the fact that clearly her new fans hadn't gone back and done their research.)
"cuz i keep geddin asked.. i'm queer," she tweeted. "not bi, not straight. i'm attracted to women, men, REALLY attracted to queer men, non binary people, intersex people, trans people. lil poly pansexual papi hello good morning. does that answer your questions?"
Speaking with PAPER that summer, she admitted that self-identification is something that's challenging for her across the board. "As soon as you walk through the door," the mixed-race singer, whose father was African-American and mother is "mostly white, Spanish and Native American, told the publication, "'It's, 'Well, what are you? What's your race? What's your sexual orientation? And both are very ambiguous for me."
She later reiterated that "pansexual" might be the label that's most accurate for her, adding, "I have a unique attraction to every type of person there is on this earth."
