‘Rolling Stone’ caused a few rolling eyes Monday (August 22) when it unveiled a peek at its first-ever global issue which features Harry Styles as its cover star.
Although his fans were pleasantly surprised on how he waxed honest about everything from his forthcoming films ‘Don’t Worry, Darling’ and ‘My Policeman’ to his relationship with actress Olivia Wilde, discussions around his sexuality, and more, the 28-year-old’s fans were forced to battle on his behalf to defend ‘Rolling’ referring to him as the “new King of Pop.”
Inciting a fiery debate on Twitter in the process, look inside to see highlights from his time with the publication.
HARRY ON PEOPLE’S SPECULATION ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY:
“Sometimes people say, ‘You’ve only publicly been with women,’ and I don’t think I’ve publicly been with anyone. If someone takes a picture of you with someone, it doesn’t mean you’re choosing to have a public relationship or something,” he shared before later relaying, “I think everyone, including myself, has your own journey with figuring out sexuality and getting more comfortable with it.”
HARRY ON WANTING TO BE A FATHER:
“Well, if I have kids at some point, I will encourage them to be themselves and be vulnerable and share.”
HARRY ON SEEKING THERAPY TO DEAL WITH THE PRESSURES OF FAME & LIFE:
“I committed to doing it once a week. I felt like I exercise every day and take care of my body, so why wouldn’t I do that with my mind?”

Needless to say, the referencing to Styles as the “new King of Pop” certainly got fans of late Pop icon Michael Jackson talking! Look below to see highlights from the fiery digital darts being directed toward ‘Rolling Stone.’

They’re just baiting. I don’t think we will ever see an artist come close to the personification of pandemonium that was Michael Jackson.
F*** this ugly fake twink and his ugly granny dresses
He is a legend
Yes, Michael is a Legend. We all know that.
I swear y’all gonna have some serious problems here if you keep on impersonating me.
I just going to Lol and leave it at that.
Lmaoooooooooo! 🤣
I love Harry, but noooo
LOL. This Queen can never be KING. Rolling Stone looking for clickbait, like billboard calling beyonce most important artist of the 21st century, and the century is barely 20 years old lol. It’s just opinion pieces designed for likes and retweets, not based in facts.
Bow down to the KING OF POP!
You only see a michael jackson once in a century. Let’s stop crowning people with titles that don’t match their status.
Harry styles doesn’t make people from 1 to 100 years old go crazy when his music drops. Michael jackson did!
I have never heard of Harry Styles until on I came across this article,MJ is a King.
Is this a joke he could never be the king of pop that is only Michael Jackson.
