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 suit, the twosome put on some homoerotic performances. They hugged and painted each other’s toes, leading other characters to wonder if they were gay.

Then, in a shocking turn of events, 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 assured that Burd and Blanco were not straight in real life as they channeled on-point chemistry in the comedy.

One Twitter user commented on the episode, writing, “Benny Blanco & Lil Dicky so gay for this scene.” “Lil dicky is gay confirmed lol,” said another. A third Twitter user commented on how Burd went full gay in season 2.

While fans voiced their thoughts on the rapper’s romantic proclivity, Burd has never publicly stated that he is gay. His relationship, on the other hand, suggests otherwise.

Lil Dicky Has a Girlfriend

Burd revealed he was in a relationship in an interview with GQ magazine on July 24, 2021. Though he did not reveal his girlfriend’s identity, the Pennsylvania native hinted that they were serious. The 33-year-old also stated that he was serious about the future and desired a wife. While he was single, he would go on a date once a week in order to meet a deserving significant other.

I’m at the age where if I can’t see a real future, it’s a complete waste of time. Burd’s new romance is her first after being single for seven years. He was previously in a serious relationship with a woman, but the couple split up because Burd prioritized his career.

In his song ‘Molly,’ the ‘Earth’ creator even described his ex-girlfriend and their relationship, implying that he still loved her despite the unfortunate breakup. The song described how he attended to his ex-wedding girlfriend as a guest and expressed his grief over the experience.

Surprisingly, his fans believe Ally, played by Taylor Misiak, is based on his estranged girlfriend in the drama Dave. Ally and Dave split up in the first season of the show because Ally couldn’t support Dave’s burgeoning rap career.

Season 3 of ‘Dave’

When asked about a possible third season of 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 went on to say that he had completely lost his sense of self and that he was working at a rate that he had never thought he was capable of. Season 3 was therefore the last thing on his mind at the time. However, given the show’s success, it will come as no surprise if Netflix renews it for a third season soon.
