Despite going on the record numerous times about being straight, popular football player and Calvin Klein spokesmodel Odell Beckham Jr. still can't seem to evade nasty rumors and comments about his sexuality. That became apparent after the 26-year-old posted a picture of himself wearing nothing but CK underwear on Instagram, and homophobic trolls took it upon themselves to question whether or not he is gay.

While the idea of a fit AF man posting a sexy, shirtless pic on the 'Gram is nothing new, it's still sucky that people don't respect how others identify, especially when OBJ has already talked about being straight multiple times to the press.

Luckily, he knew how to respond to the trolls.

"@everybody lol yallll chilllll mann damnnnn!" the Cleveland Browns wide receiver wrote, responding to multiple comments about his sexuality from trolls. "It be a lot of y’all sayin sus and alll the other comments that realllly be a direct reflection of who u are! Im straight! Like beyond it. If I sit here and defend myself y’all gon say im tryna defend myself, if I sit there and say nothin yalll gon say 'seee he didn’t say anything..' I’m good wit me. Which is dumb straightttt... Period. lol I don’t neeed to say this shxt no mooooo! Half y’all girls in these comments. This the last time ima break this shxt down for y’all. And lastly before I got hit the weight room! Much love to everybody out there! Fellas sorry man, gotta get a [bag] for it! #MyCalvins."

This isn't the first time he's had to do this, reports HotNewHipHop. In his cover story for the August 2019 issue of GQ, OBJ shared his thoughts about all those persistent gay rumors.

"I've never once had no problem with anybody who has their own personal life that they live," he told the men's lifestyle mag. "I have friends who are gay. It was almost more funny to me. I almost messed with them even more. It's like when someone gives me an ultimatum, I'm usually always going to go to the opposite way of what you want me to go. So when they would say that, I would almost mess with them even more. I have no problem with anyone's sexual orientation."

We love a man who's confident and secure in himself!
