Billy responded that he had not been invited, and had not been invited since 2019. It was the only year he went, and that year, he was invited by Ryan Murphy.

“No, I’m not going. I have not been invited….I haven’t been invited back since 2019,” he said.

Bevy then remarked, “Oh, the camp year when you came in the Gold Pegasus.”

Billy responded, “That’s the only time I’ve ever gone and the only time I’ve ever been invited and I was invited by Ryan Murphy that year.”

He then commented on last year’s theme, and the fact that he was still not invited then.

He shared, “Black dandyism and I was not invited. I’m just going to throw that out there. I’m good. It’s all good, but the reality is when people ask me, you need to know I was not invited and I’m good, and I don’t go to places where I’m not welcome. Period. Point blank….I’ve earned the invitation and it’s okay that I don’t have it because there’s a level that I’ve reached that doesn’t require validation from the outside, so I’m going to sit and live in that because it helps keep me sane too.”
