Nikkie came out as transgender but she had made clear she never liked labels. She shared when she was younger, she was born in the wrong body. The beauty guru added,

“When I was younger I was born in the wrong body which means that I am transgender now. It’s so surreal saying this, filming this video is scary but it feels so liberating and freeing. Here we are.

Joey said, “I’m gay. I did it in the music video in a way that was um not officially saying it because in a way I think it’s not necessary to have to say who you are and do like a video just talking about your sexuality because my life is so much more than that and I wanted to do it creatively. It’s also important to be proud and open with who you are and show people that it’s okay to be gay and that’s who I am and I’m not going to hide that anymore.”
