Brooklyn queer rapper Chris Conde has spoken out on X/Twitter about how he went viral after being targeted by right-wing trolls following a Pride performance.
Earlier this week (June 30), a video of the “COMB” artist – which is short for “C*m In My Beard” – was shared online by fanatics who were outraged by his performance.
Conde often performs almost completely naked, save for a leather harness, and has a large tattoo of the word “queer” across his stomach. Watching him at a Pride event in Bad Ischl, Austria, where he performed an unreleased song called “Good Boys Say Yes Sir” was enough to make the haters cry.
The trolling intensified when Trump fan and online influencer Vince Langman shared a clip of Conde’s performance with his 170,000 followers on X/Twitter, captioning it “WTF is this?”
Yet the vicious campaign against the rapper reached its peak after another Trump supporter and Republican campaigner, Juanita Broaddrick, posted the clip to her social media channels, which have a million followers.
Of course, the short clip was subsequently reposted by a large stream of pathetic right-wingers, many of whom attempted to mock the “Notorious FAG” actor.
Although queer artists like Conde are unfortunately becoming more and more accustomed to intolerant abuse online, there are also positive aspects: Among the trolls were some music lovers who had never heard of Conde and his work, and after seeing the viral video, they became instant fans.
This list contained RuPaul’s Drag Race Winner Yvie Oddly, “212” rapper Azealia Banks and Travis Kelce’s brother, former football player Jason Kelce.
Oddly wrote on X/Twitter that she wanted Conde to be “hopefully her next musical collaboration” – and Conde has since confirmed that the two are in talks to do a song together.
Banks, who posted about Conde on her Instagram story, also reached out to him via direct message. Kelce responded to fellow football retiree Antonio Brown after Brown “joked” that Kelce appeared in the video, writing, “Shit I wish I could spit bars like that.”
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Chris Conde talked about becoming a viral sensation and everything that came with it – the good, the bad, the ugly and the positive about his future music career.
Conde did not seem particularly bothered by the “predictable” hatred of conservatives, explaining: “It was more like the same rhetoric, like, ‘Liberals want to destroy American values,’ that shit.”
“You’re just angry but you don’t know why, right? It’s hilarious.”
“It makes me angry that these people are so upset about my existence. I have been subverting heteronormative ideologies since I came out, especially with my music.”
And even if the boring trolls eventually die down and find something else to get upset about, the new fans will probably stick around.
“To now have a platform and show so many people what I can do is absolutely crazy,” Conde said.
Chris Conde’s music is available on all good and gay streaming platforms.
