Jamaican adult performer YardieStyle has opened up about why he chose to wait until he had earned $2 million from the porn industry before publicly coming out as bisexual.
The star shared his story in an interview with Gaye Magazine late last month, revealing that it was the first time he had spoken publicly about his sexuality — including to his own parents.
YardieStyle first rose to prominence in the adult industry in 2018 and, around a decade ago, began working in the female-to-male transgender category.
Reflecting on the timing of his decision to come out, he said he had originally planned to do so after reaching his first million dollars in earnings. However, he admitted he lost confidence at the time and decided not to go through with it.
That changed once he hit the $2 million mark.
“That’s when I made my second million. Right. You know what, let me just do it,” he said. “That might be my coming out story.”
During the interview, YardieStyle also discussed how attitudes towards sexuality in Jamaica shaped his experience.
When asked what his parents thought about him being bisexual, he pointed to the wider cultural silence around queerness in Jamaican society.
“You see a thing, you understand it, but we don’t really have a communal story,” he said.
He also spoke about his path into adult entertainment, which came after earlier careers in teaching and nursing.
Now based in New York City, YardieStyle said he initially worked as a teacher after studying biology at university and minoring in drama. After later moving to the Bronx, he trained as a nurse and was close to completing a master’s degree.
Despite building a stable career, he said the financial pull of adult content became too strong to ignore.
“I was making a good amount of money a month, but then the fans were giving me that in a week,” he said.
That income eventually led him to leave nursing and commit fully to creating adult content.
YardieStyle now has more than 765,000 followers on his NSFW X account. According to his profile, he produces two 45-minute videos each week across all available platforms, resulting in around 90 hours of footage every week.
His comments have drawn attention not only for the personal milestone of coming out, but also for what they reveal about the pressures of visibility, money and cultural stigma — particularly for someone navigating sexuality and public life with roots in a country where being gay remains deeply taboo.
