'Good Lookin' Singer Dixon Dallas Claps Back at 'Queerbaiting' Accusations

Dixon Dallas doesn't care if you think he might be queerbaiting, and he's not interested in making a declaration about his sexuality. He's more interested in spreading good vibes.
Dallas - a stage name and country music alter-ego of recording star Jake Hill - thrilled fans with his raucous gay sex anthem "Good Lookin," a teaser clip for which became a sensation on TikTok.

The song's lyrics that paint an explicit picture: "He's bouncing off my booty cheeks, I love the way he rides / I can hardly breathe when he's pumping deep inside / I kiss him on his neck and then he kisses on my bussy / Call him 'Daddy' while I holler, man, that boy so damn good looking."
As EDGE noted in a previous story, "'Good Lookin' isn't the first hot and horny song Hill/Dallas has shown off for his fans. Others such as 'Like Whiskey' and 'Sleeping All Alone' have also gone viral to a lesser extent."
Now the singer is shrugging off accusations of queerbaiting, Just Jared reported.
"It's hard to put into words how big it is," Dallas told Pride of the song's viral popularity, adding: "No pun intended."
Noting that Dallas is "facing a lot of scrutiny online over his music's adult themes," Pride reported that "people have been questioning his sexuality and wondering if he's actually gay."
Dallas stood firm about not labeling himself, telling Pride, "Of course you'll have people saying I'm gaybating and queerbating."
But that doesn't bother him.
"Growing up in the south, you're taught how to think a certain way," the singer related. "I reached a point where I started thinking for myself. My music is a big f*** you to my past."
"No, I haven't disclosed my sexuality," Dallas went on to add. "I could be gay. I could be straight. I could be bi. At the end of the day, I feel like it doesn't matter. There's no law that says I can't write a song about getting my booty cheeks bounced off of."
Neither is there a law that says a real person's artistic alter-ego can't be any sexuality that he wants to be.
Rather than argue about labels, Dallas preferred to focus on the messages of appreciation he's gotten from gay fans who, he said, tell him "We don't have this type of music. It makes me feel seen. It makes me feel heard and comfortable in my skin."
"Those messages are what makes me want to keep doing this," Dallas said. "If somebody wants to cancel me, I don't care. I don't give a s*** about any type of negativity."
The singer backs up his self-assured message with enough creativity and energy for two stars: Hill and his alter-ego Dallas "will be co-headlining an upcoming tour on the east coast later this month," Pride noted.
"Fans can also expect a debut EP from Dallas in the next couple of weeks, that'll include all of his viral hits so far," the outlet went on to say.
"Dixon Dallas is taking over," the singer declared, adding that the tour in which he co-headlines with himself "is going to be big. We're going to turn up, as the kids say."
