Pop star Troye Sivan is on the September cover of New Zealand's LGBTQ magazine Express -- but he's already made it clear that he wasn't at all happy with the interview.

The Q&A with the South African-born Australian singer covers a number of topics -- from what Sivan watches on Netflix to his acting in Boy Erased -- before finishing with some quickfire questions. The last of these is "Top or bottom?"

"Ooo... definitely passing!" is Sivan's recorded response.

On Wednesday night, the following tweet about the interview began picking up steam.

A few hours after it had been shared, Sivan himself responded.

Sivan went on to take a jab at some of the other interview questions.

Mashable has reached out to the editor of the Express for comment.
