." In October, Apollo received a co-sign from Prince's estate, which selected him to be the first artist to perform at the late pop icon’s former home, Paisley Park.
To entertain fans who were stuck at home, Paisley Park opened its gates to Apollo, who channeled the late pop icon during a sexy performance that was streamed live.

It was kind of part of the process [of getting to"That was a dream come true," Apollo says about working with the Neptunes."Pharrell's the best and we got along super well. I can't wait to make more shit with him.".
"It feels so good to be actually honest," Apollo says."The fact that I get these DMs, and these young kids and people my age are like, 'Thank you so much for saying what you say and using pronouns the way you do,' it just makes me feel so good. There were a few people, but I didn't have anybody in the Latino community doing that when I was a kid or growing up in high school.
