Is Lil Dicky A gay man?
Burd filmed intimate scenes with his long-time friend and co-star Benny Blanco in Dave’s third episode, ‘The Observer.’ As they showered together in their birthday suits, the duo engaged in some homoerotic performances.
They hugged and painted each other’s toes, leading other characters to wonder if they were gay. Then, in a surprising twist, the duo and the rest of the cast discussed how white men had more freedom to engage in bromance than black men.
Many viewers were convinced that Burd and Blanco were not straight in real life due to their on-point chemistry in the comedy.
One Twitter user commented on the episode, writing, “Benny Blanco & Lil Dicky so gay for this scene.” Another said, “Lil dicky is gay confirmed lol.” A third Twitter user remarked on how Burd went full gay in season 2.
While fans speculated about the rapper’s romantic preferences, Burd has never publicly stated that he is gay. However, his on-screen chemistry and relationship suggest otherwise.
Lil Dicky Has a Girlfriend
Burd revealed he was in a relationship in an interview with GQ magazine on July 24, 2021. Although he didn’t disclose his girlfriend’s identity, the Pennsylvania native hinted that they were in a serious relationship. The 33-year-old also expressed his seriousness about the future and his desire for a wife. During his single days, he made it a point to go on a date once a week in hopes of finding a deserving partner.
“I’m at an age where if I can’t see a real future, it’s a complete waste of time,” Burd shared. This new romance marks his first relationship after being single for seven years. Previously, he was in a serious relationship with a woman, but the couple parted ways because Burd put his career first.
In his song ‘Molly,’ the ‘Earth’ creator even detailed his ex-girlfriend and their relationship, suggesting that he still held feelings for her despite the breakup. The song delved into how he attended his ex-girlfriend’s wedding as a guest and expressed his sorrow over the experience.
Interestingly, some of his fans believe that Ally, portrayed by Taylor Misiak, is based on his former girlfriend in the series “Dave.” In the show, Ally and Dave break up in the first season because Ally struggles to support Dave’s burgeoning rap career.
Season 3 of ‘Dave’
“When asked about the possibility of a third season for the show, Lil Dicky told Deadline, “Look, I’ve got to be honest with you. I’m not even done with this finale we’re talking about. I’ve been handing in every single episode of the season at the deadline, like four days before it’s on TV.”
He continued, expressing that he had completely lost track of time and was working at a pace he never thought possible. As a result, Season 3 was not at the forefront of his mind at the moment. However, given the show’s success, it wouldn’t be surprising if Netflix decides to renew it for a third season in the near future.”
