Harry Styles addresses ‘queer-baiting’ rumors in hilarious 'SNL' monologue

Harry Styles finally called out the ones who accused of him of “queer-baiting” in the past.

During his opening monologue during Saturday Night Live (SNL) the singer talked about his use of fruit as a metaphor for s*x in song lyrics.

As he spoke of his time off after he concluded his Love On Tour in 2023, Styles said, “I realised I’d spent half my life in music – touring, playing albums, and making songs about fruit that people think are about s*x.”

“I just really like fruit, guys. I like s*x, too,” he added cheekily.

“People seemed to pay a lot of attention to the clothes I was wearing, and some people accused me of something called queer-baiting,” Styles mentioned, hilariously adding, “But did it ever occur to you that… maybe you don’t know everything about me, Dad?”

Additionally, the History hitmaker also took aim at the disgraced former royal, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in his monologue.

The former One Direction star, who is currently top of the UK album and singles charts after the release of his latest album, Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally, admitted that he had become “tremendously boring” during his hiatus.

He added: “I took up jogging. There’s nothing interesting about that.”

“But because I’m me, people pretend to find that interesting. 
I don’t run to be interesting. I do it for the feeling it gives me, that runner’s high. It’s just amazing,” the Night Changes crooner told the audience of SNL.

“Watermelon sugar high, runner’s high. And if that doesn’t do it for you, I also love ecstasy,” Styles joked

“As a British man who spent a lot of his life in the public eye, I can assure you, there’s something nice about being boring. It’s better than the alternative.”

At that point the image of a shocked Andrew in the back of a police car following his arrest last month appeared on the screen.

This comes after the 32-year-old claimed a number one chart double for the second time following the release of his new album, the Official Charts Company announced:

“If the Official Chart Double wasn't enough for Harry Styles Aperture and Ready, Steady, Go! also made the Top 5!”
