Hip-hop and grime icon Shygirl has confirmed her sexuality in a candid TikTok.
The London-based DJ took to TikTok over the weekend to share a video that she captioned, “I do it for the girls and the gays, but also, hey girls”.
In the video she shares that she was tagged in a queer artists post, adding “I actually don’t know if I’ve spoken about it that much”.
“How did you guys know, like I never really came out. Did I do an interview? I sometimes forget what I said in interviews,” she said of being queer.
“How do you know? How do they just clock you like that. It’s so funny,” she continued.
“Even though I’m in a technically ‘straight’ relationship – I live with my boyfriend, but I’m definitely queer,” she shared, adding “thank you for remembering to put me in the chat”.

The term “queer” is broader term that refers to person who is not straight, while “gay” refers to a person who is explicitly attracted to the same sex.
Comments under the post refer to her lyrics as a big giveaway of her sexuality.
“The lyrics in ‘SLIME’ along said literally everything,” one person wrote.
“SLIME” explicitly talks about sexual encounters with women, one line from the song says: “Bad b**ches always have to keep their hands wet, we’re too slick. I like to glide, figure skate on a b**ch”.
Another fan commented, “Sorry what’s the full title of (a bedtime story) called again, Shy?”
The song’s title, “Coochie (a bedtime story)”, refers to the song’s lyrics, which include “anytime that coochie calls, I’ll be on my way.”
“There’s a lot of songs where you talk about it,” another fan commented under her TikTok announcement.
“Girl, you’re too fab to not be,” another said, while another added, “someone as beautiful as you shy simply has to be adored by all genders”.
