Avery initially tweeted on Saturday: “I’m bisexual. OK bye.”
He was then met by cruel backlash from trolls claiming they “already knew” and accused him of disguising his sexuality.
The singer clapped back: “Clearly with so many ‘we already knew’ I wasn’t hiding just never spoke on it. I’ve been who I am and will continue.”
“There is no in between for me, sir. I like women and men! The bus stops here, stop trying to paint your narrative on others. WHO’S NEXT!?”

One troll tweeted: “Lol we had already accepted him wayyyyyyyyy before he accepted himself! That statement is just saying we already knew we’ve been waiting on you…”
Avery fired back: “See but that’s where you took the wrong turn I’ve always accepted who I was it was just none of your business until I decided to allow it to be.
“Don’t be that guy! Respect people, it’s important.”

Avery spoke more about his sexuality in a lengthy post on Instagram, in which he said it feels “good as hell” to come out.
The singer wrote: “I’ve always personally faced but publicly never answered one HUGE question about myself – all because I wanted my privacy and I felt like my business, is just that – MY business.
“TODAY, all questions and speculations of the past, now have a present definitive answer! To finally answer the question….YES, I’m a bisexual man who’s in love with LOVE.
“I AM WHO I AM and I LOVE WHO I LOVE. Always have and always will! ❤️ With that being said, cheers to new beginnings and unapologetically walking in your truth.”
