At the time, Role Model promoted himself as much as he could. Taking toPeople’s official TikTok page on September 24, the 27-year-old announced: “SoPeoplemagazine has asked me to give three reasons why I should be nominated Sexiest Musician Alive.
“I don’t have three reasons. I have more of a pitch. I’ll beg, if you will. Let’s put it this way. We love anunderdogstory, right?
“We love the movies where the underdog comes out on top and a happy ending for them, right? They deserve it.

“The three artists that I’m going up against, Mr.Harry Styles, Zach Bryan, and Shaboozey, I love them, right?
“But they have everything. Some have radio hits, some haveGrammys, some have clothing brands, and all of them have money. Okay?
“I have nothing. I am nothing. I am the underdog that needs a happy ending. Okay, I just think it would be a beautiful moment.

“Put yourself in my shoes. Right? Let’s vote for me. I beg. I need this more than a Grammy. I need this more than I need food and shelter.
“I’ve offered to payPeoplemagazine, but they won’t take mymoney, so just vote.”
The singer continued to campaign for the title, even while touring with Gracie Abrams. On October 11, Role Model shared a snap on hisInstagram pageshowcasing his fans at one of his concerts holding up a sign that read: “We voted you sexiest man alive.”
But all hopes went bust when on October 29, Role Model woke up to the news that formerOne Directionstar and Grammy Awards winner Harry Styles had taken the title for Sexiest Musician Alive.
Taking to his Instagram page, Role Model said in a story: “So this is my speech. Harry Styles has won ‘Sexiest Musician Alive.’
“I was the runner-up. I heard about the counts — a lot of you voted for me. But I wanna speak to those who voted for Harry Styles: I hope you’re happy.”

He continued: “I hope your day is made from this, because guess what? His publicist isn’t even going to mention this to him.
“He won’t know about this. That boy is in Fiji, somewhere. That’s how insignificant this is to him. His publicist won’t even mention it to him. So I hope you’re happy.”
TheBlindhitmaker concluded: “And toPeoplemagazine — I’m treading lightly here — you had an opportunity to really do something for the culture.”
“To create this beautiful ending to an underdog story. And you didn’t.”
Role Model went on to pair his “speech” with two more Instagram stories,Buzzfeedreported on October 29.
The first was a screenshot ofPeople‘s article, supposedly making fun of text referring to a photo that says “Role Model (top).”

The second was a selfie of him in the car with Clairo’s songSexy to Someoneplaying in the background.
The Maine,USA, native was seemingly still feeling frustration over the disappointing results over the weekend, as on Sunday (November 3), he shared two follow-up stories reflecting on the issue.
In the first story, a woman appeared to be dressed up as him, sporting a white T-shirt that read: “Nominated sexiest man alive.”
The second picture shared was a meme which displayed a question that read: “Do you have any enemies” to which the answer showed: “Yea Harry.”
At the time of writing, Harry hasn’t posted any reactions to winning the title.
Bored Pandahas contacted Harry’s representatives for comment.
“Do a recount,” a reader commented
