COREY COREYβs Final Interview βοΈ @BubblePOPPA Bids the Internet Farewell ππΏ
You are known for many things including adult entertainment and you are also a social media influencer, viral blogger and so much more. How did you get your start in the adult industry?Β
First, thank YOU for acknowledging all of that. It ALWAYS amazes me when a fan or follower actually pays attention enough to more about me than the adult aspect I play my part in. To say that Iβm IN the adult industry isβ¦. somewhat correct but not quite exactly accurate. Iβve never been filmed in a single porno in my entire life, with the exception of a few (anonymous) performances with select live-cam female models who scouted me out online or at parties and hired me. To this day, my fans and followers only know of one female βhotwifeβ that Iβve done this with. As far as the several clips of online amateur ass and/or pussy smashing that Iβve shared with my followers, there are just that: clips! Not at all done professionally. Not filmed by a studio. Just me, sharing! -Not one of them exceeds five minutes, almost all of the ones of me still going viral online from years ago arenβt even a minute long! Doing so, or as I call it βthirst-trapping,β creates hype. Definitely, it draws in droves of followers without having to buy them, as Iβve heard some do. Once I have their attention, Iβve proven time and time again to direct hundreds of true, supportive followers towards events where Iβve hosted everything from pride parties to private ones, gave out gifts, judged silly contests in bars and/or performed a live erotic massage demo. The ones that donβt support and just follow, watching me, I donβt even acknowledge them.
How I got my start in the adult industry is a story all in itself, much too long for this interview. I will say, though, that I was an exotic dancer performing at all the right gay and straight after-hours spots throughout NYC all while I was chasing a second degree in NJ. I say that I performed at the βrightβ places because I avoided the black, gay bars and promoters that existed back then because they just didnβt pay well. By the time I was ready to graduate college, I was regularly booked performing late at night in over seven bars and clubs throughout NYC such as Roxy, Cock, XL, Lure, Escuelita, Splash, etc. In between it all, I often co-hosted Manhattanβs first-ever weekly bisexual swingers party which you would even see me promote, online. Somehow, I won the attention of Lady Bunny who approached me on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village to perform alongside her live onstage in, what, later, came to be known as the last official Wigstock, she was parodying Sisquoβs βThong Songβ and I was to be her lone βThong Back Up Dancer.β Little did I know that this event was huge exposure for a rising talent! E! TV was there, MTV was there, and there I was backstage standing next to Blondie fighting with an aging diva over the bathroom so that I could fluff myself before going onstage. Months later, RuPaul, of all people, walked into a NYC subway train, plopped himself right upon my lap in front of everyone and weeks later I was playing the villain in his campy cult Blaxploitation flick, βStarrbooty!β To promote the film, Ruβ remembered hearing me sing to myself on-set so he dressed up myself and another very tall, androgynous model/performer in his own tailored Prada suits straight from elaborate closet (which I still own) and took us on club tours to sing/dance background tunes from the movie.
The rest isβ¦.history, as they say. Being affiliated with Bunβ-Bunβ and Mama Ruβ created tremendous buzz around me throughout NYC, my social media and my already infamous inches.
The only βinfluencingβ Iβve EVER wanted to do was by promoting myself as a personal masseur. Thatβs it. Not be anyoneβs role model, and definitely not be a model for free for everyone calling himself a photographer today, not to become mister popular at parties making appearances for pennies or any of that. In other words, make money! I knew by giving the world just peeks of what they could experience they would start bringing me to their cities to see me do it either live publicly or perform it privately and it has worked.
How did you come up with the alias BubblePoppa?Β
(smirks/giggles) Seriouslyβ¦., I mean, you seriously donβt get the play in words with that silly screen-name? (cracks up) Iβm a proud total top who clearly professes at βpoppingβ bubbles but Iβm also a bonafide jokester so the name reflects my humor is all.
You are known for blogging a lot of your private encounters on Twitter. What made you decide to be so free-spirited with your sexcapades online?Β
I actually DONβT blog/post/share a LOT of my PRIVATE encountersβ¦ Iβve selected several snippets, pics and what not, many of which are from archived galleries and not as current as some assume soβ¦ Iβve definitely spoiled my followers so I can see how you see itβs a lot that Iβve shared. (laughs) To be honest, though, the real answer to that question is because of this βDL trendβ thatβs still practiced and is surprisingly highly supported within our community. I wanted to βdeadβ that noise and show a different perspective, a proud, unapologetic grown ass man perspective thatβs never hindered or held back from being out and proud. My being upfront with my sexuality did nothing but open MORE doors for me, not close it - as most men of color would assume it would! Just log onto any personals site or hook-up app and Iβll give you a shiny brand new quarter for every man of color you can find who hasnβt chopped his face off and/or clearly lists on his profile that he is on the down low. Meanwhile, when you meet 97% of these individuals off-line claiming to be so, they couldnβt even spell βD-Lβ if it meant a fat check for them!! Itβs a joke and always has been. There are gay/bi men of color in very large numbers but they fashion creeping over congregating. My βsharingβ online wasnβt about making money from renting out my dick per se because I never aimed to be an actual pornstar or escort. I was just being a freak who teased by giving you a peek. Again, teasing the right way goes a long way!
Being that youβre more low key than most adult entertainers, what are your opinions on the black adult companies? Could you see yourself doing scenes with the likes of Black Rayne and DawgPoundUSA?Β
I have no real opinion to state on such studios because several of their directors and stars are my longtime associates. I will tell you that both DawgPoundUSA and Black Rayne have offered me to join their roster of performersβ¦but theyβre not the only ones. For years, Iβve been approached to do porn! Raging Stallion, Lucas Entertainmentβ¦ even awarded director Chi-Chi LaRue was DMing me on Twitter long before she launched previews about her latest Noir Men line of porn. The time the entire world wide web saw me posting from Spain, I was actually there because I was invited by the creator behind Macho Fucker. I politely refused them all simply because it doesnβt pay enough, as far as Iβm concerned. Itβs no insult to any of them nor to those who choose to do it! I just was not about to perform sex on camera for a few hundreds of dollars when I can make thousands in a day from just massaging a clientele Iβve been building long before I was asked to become a pornstar by ANYone. If anything, my popularity as a sensual masseur - both online or off - is why I even even registered to porn directors looking to cast the next coochie or caboose crusher!
How you feel about these guys taking over social media with their connectpals, etc? Do you feel like amateur porn is about to take over the adult industry?Β
Amateur porn is and will always be hot to me!! With cell phones and tablets and affordable cameras out today, itβs quite apparent people are β¦exploring more while documenting it. (Snickers)
This is going to sound a bit crazy coming from me because, again, I know that Iβm not anyoneβs angel but I feel this OnlyFans, ConnectPal, amateur-porn-selling craze is getting sadly and badly out of hand in the Black gay community because there, literally, are tons of youths logging on and joining these platforms, relying on their OnlyFans to help them make an actual living. If you carefully examine it, youβll also realize how itβs the same bunch of performers all fucking random individuals raw. Iβve had my share of raw sex and youβve all seen that I have but I always am quick to point out in my defense how these people werenβt all randoms I just met and bent over right away. Regardless of my being in no position to speak on this particular matter, I actually do fear that too many gay youths of color (as well as a good handful of mature men of color, now) are dismissing their self-worth in hopes to get hood-rich fast.
The reason why you never saw me jump on that βpay-for-my-porn-through-an-appβ bandwagon was because I analyze everything before I do it. Every move Iβve EVER made online has been calculated. Like every social media platform that I have dominated with hundreds of thousands of followers on every single one, I sat back and took time to observe it long before becoming its member. When I noticed how members were snatching the content and reposting it all over cyberspace, I quickly saw the flaw in it all immediately: allowing another to host your material to distribute/sell is nothing compared to creating your very own. I have never joined a single one of those accounts because I can simply find their material on MyVidster, PornHub, amongst like-minded friends who are happy to AirDrop and, now, even reposted on Twitter! (shrugs)
Recently we all heard about Tumblr removing all adult profiles and pages due to allegations of child pornography. Tumblr is and will forever be iconic for adult videos. Do you think the shut down will affect porn as we know it? With everything being quick and accessible on Tumblr.
Brace yourself. You may not like what Iβm about to say. (Gives a sly smirk) Anytime I hear anything about this new Tumblr matter the word βkarmaβ comes to mind. My former Tumblr blog (Poppaβs Playground) was undeniably one of the highest-followed on there. I couldnβt believe when I started getting contacted by major companies to transfer my Tumblr blog into my own dot com so that I could receive their banners to put upon it right around the time I was being awarded twice for it! I notoriously had an origin indicator at the top left of my blog so everyone could see not only my followers in numbers but also their locations. I, literally, had a worldwide following I happily took along LIVE with me to trips and tours to places domestically and internationally. Then, out of nowhere, haters somehow got it terminated. I woke up, it was gone. I was stunned, yes, but my fans were far more affected by it than I. To this day, I canβt get away from someone bringing up Poppaβs Playground to me, asking what happened to it right after theyβre done complimenting its posts. Somehow, the reblogs remain ongoing all over Tumblr so itβs like itβs a resurrection or ridicule to my haters. One thingβs for sure, once my blog went down, my bookings have went way up!!! It forced the true fans who grew comfortable just watching me like mere followers do to start looking for me. Naturally, they knew of my being a personal masseur based in NYC so their demands have made me into the most-mobile masseur out there in America. Iβve got clientele in over seven states now thanks to my Tumblr going down, making my real fans show me how much they miss me. I cannot tell you how many bookings I still receive, both parties or private, where someone doesnβt start quizzing me about why I left Tumblr. Soβ¦ I see all adult content getting reported and ripped down from Tumblr as K-A-R-M-A. Lovely, loyal karma!
You describe yourself as a MANimal but Iβm curious to know what does that mean?
(Blank face) Cβmon nowβ¦ itβs a play of words! Iβm not one to say things about myself as others will do. Iβm creative, a wordsmith by default. Simply put, itβs my way of saying Iβm a beast in the sheets! (cracks up laughing)
Youβre known for your enlarged wood! This going to be a very explicit question butβ¦.whatβs the wildest sexual encounter youβve ever been in where they couldnβt handle all of it?Β
Uhhh-ummmmmβ¦. (chuckles) I donβt quite understand this question because all I know is if they couldnβt handle the dick, thenβ¦ there was nothing wild about the sex in the first place. Those who canβt handle get forgotten, not filed. Iβm a grown man. I donβt waste any time with those who canβt handle having sex with a grown man. What!
Being a gay public figure, what comes with the good and the bad? How do you handle the negativity you may receive online from strangers who may be opinionated and bold with their opinions about you?Β
Such opinionated types are always, ALWAYS small in numbers, and always hidden from clear view. I doesnβt take a genius to figure out why they do what they do how they do it for all to see, online. If itβs not childlike jealousy aimed at the attention on me that they want, itβs someone actually wanting something from me that Iβm just not giving. I try more and more to not even respond. If only my following could see all of the negative comments that some will tweet, text or email to me due to my shining by just doing me. Iβve learned to laugh it off to myselfβ¦ but I am the first to point out how Iβm human. Like every other online persona, we endure tons of unnecessary hate and, at times, are known to lash or clap back, as they say. Iβm no different than the next sensitive Libra, like Cardi B. So, yes, unfortunately, Iβve been known to shut a hating bitch-niggaβ down for ALL to see, sometimes. Iβm from Brooklyn so β¦.we donβt handle being blatantly disrespect well. Weβre all about spreading love! Thatβs the Brooklyn way, youβd better ask somebody!!!!!
Whatβs the biggest misconception most people have about you?Β
β¦that I am mean! (Rolls eyes/Laughs) Theyβll love you but want you easily defeated when they choose to attack online and Iβm not having that. Iβm not that doormat dude offline so why be it when Iβm on? No matter how goofy I purposely show people I REALLY and truly am, no matter how I can have a whole room laughing and in the palm of my hand whenever I chose to, no matter how many times Iβve been booked to herd heads into an establishment, no matter how many kids I donβt even know still will naturally gravitate to me, SOMEone, SOMEwhere will convince themselves that I am mean. Hearing this used to frustrate me to tears when I was a teen. Iβd walk in a room, turn heads without even trying and soon get feedback how βtheyβ heard I was so mean! I soon realized that this was not about me, but all about othersβ insecurities. Now, when strange people tell me that they thought I was mean, I respond with the quickness by saying, βNahβ¦you just told yourself that because you were scared to find out for yourself.β
How do you deal with dating and love as an adult blogger and all that you do career-wise?Β
Career wise?! (Cracks up) Nahβ¦ currently, Iβve been dating whenever I want with no problem. Quite possibly because Iβve recently relocated to GA my being βthe new bi-guyβ still makes me quite marketable to date and explore loving someone again. I have no problem with the offersβ¦believe it or not. The question you should be asking me about is what are my views on love being damn near nonexistent in the Black gay community - even the so-called marriages and relationships you can locate are mostly a facade and never last long. Love definitely donβt live here anymore. That, I could give you a nice answer about.
Being who you are do you find it complicated to find love or settle down?Β
Nope. Never did because I learned long ago what type of person to link up with. What people donβt know about me is Iβm no oneβs chronic dater, Iβm not one to need being with someone just to feel complete. I do, however, have a couple of long term relationships under my belt but as much as Iβve tried and wanted it to be, none of them where with my fellow brothers; I was once in a 3-year live-in relationship with an Italian New Yorker and an even longer relationship, after that, with a bisexual, Jamaican female I met in Brooklyn. So settling down for me will come whenever I am ready to choose the right one. Iβm in no rush because my mind is more than ever focused on spiritual strengthening, not side-kicking.
Why do you think people are so scared of sexual liberation and sexuality?Β
People? What people? What kind of people do you particularly speak of because not ALL people are that way. Trust me, I get what youβre attempting to askβ¦ But I want you to ask it entirely so that I can then address it.
Sexual liberation is a powerful thing β¦and we all know - without having to point any fingers - not everyone has the mental capacity to handle something of power. Enough said.
Β How do you feel about gay swingers and polygamous couples?Β Β
Three words: Love. Support. Learn.
Whatβs one piece of advice you would give to other sexually liberated and free-spirited gay men?Β
Hedonism can only become a lifestyle when you find other like-minds. Meaning: if you want to live in that life, comfortably with no judgment, find and make your own tribe!
If you could go back 10 years ago what would be the biggest advice you would give your old self?Β
Maybe donβt particularly post or publicly share any pics or vid-clips of you smashing someone raw because, regardless of you still managing to be healthy as a hung horse, HIV-negative and STI-free, there will always be that one salty sissie ready to throw his worst wishes upon your life simply because youβve been seen publicly doing something that heβs been doing with thousands of randoms as soon as he logs off with his so-called supreme judgment aimed toward you. I already know youβre a tough one so I donβt need to tell you to keep your head up so, with that saidβ¦.
Whatβs been the craziest situation youβve had with your fans on social media?Β
First of all, my fans would never! My fans continue to support me and my life that Iβm living shows that. The only individuals that do such things come in very small numbers and those are haters. Online trolls are always anonymous, always negative and always brave as everβ¦.behind their keyboards and mobile devices. Kim Kardashian put it best once in an interview by calling the online behavior of such sad, sorry and salty cyber-bullies as βkeyboard courage.β
Iβve experienced it allβ¦. but only online does the hate come at me. Death threats tweeted at me publicly for all to see was the worst thing I thought I would ever get the chance to laugh and shake off. Just recently, some sick sissie actually called me a pedophile on Twitter, referring to one of the most innocent images snapped of me by my own mother where Iβm laying knocked out beside my toddler-aged nephew, whom was also sleep from a full day of outdoor play with his favorite uncle. Naturally, Iβm well aware of how people see and perceive me when theyβve seen me massaging naked and/or actually fucking, but to wish the worst upon me like THAT made me want to kill the person who tweeted that my way. (Laughs)
Offline, I have yet to experience anyone actually putting me in a crazy or violent situation. Any of the events Iβve done have always been nothing but kisses, hugs and selfie-snapping with strangers. The fact that Iβve always walked these streets with no security because I can handle myself just fine proves I have no real haters out there. I just have a few who despise the fact that my hustle has always worked for me because I damn sure donβt attack, badmouth or belittle anyone (unless theyβre idiotic enough to attack me) so thereβs never once ever been a reason to actually want to bring me harm. Itβs all mere envy, I know that.
Still, Iβm actually glad you asked me this very question because the online hatred that I experience on-occasion only comes from one group of people: my own! Iβve undeniably been catfished more times than any gay/bi online personality. Iβve lost and rebuilt fan pages on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and Tumblr yet whatβs even funnier is whenever I would return online with a brand new account, my following would always rush at the chance to return in massive numbers every single time! My haters will report my risque posts only to repost them religiously onto their own pages in hope of gaining a following. (laughs/shakes head) I mean, I could go on and onβ¦
Such behavior comes from NO ONE else but from those within my own community. Never do I ever have a gay, white guy dropping in my comments that he wishes I die of AIDS or anything immensely insane on that level but take one, good, hard look at every single bitch-ass troll who seems to so bothered by me and I rest my case.
Yes, Iβve caught flack for representing an out and proud bisexual man online who lashes back at such hate spat my way by using terms βfag,β βpunkβ and such but I stand by my SELECTIVE use of such words because I only aim it at those it applies to. I will ALWAYS see the difference between gay men and fags because Iβve been an infatuation for both all of my adult life! Gay men do NOT carry on the way these fags do, today, and thatβs just an ugly fact. Unfortunately, lots of us as men of color grow up with no fathers or father-figures in our lives so itβs been a strong belief of mine that many of these supporters of vicious gossip, creating chaos amongst couples for sport and/or expressing envy towards others who are just out there doing themselves comes mainly from ones who picked it up from their mothers, grandmothers, aunties and fag hags because this behavior is found to be practiced more so by females! Jay-Z put it best when he said, βJealousy is a femaleβs trait.β No man should EVER feel jealous of another man! A real man just steps his game up, he doesnβt waste time bitching about another who made it before him!
Touring cross country two years in a row was a thing I did to see where my true fans were, not followersβ¦ fans! In my doing so, I realized on the first year that I donβt even need to be on social media, much less dealing with the nonsense that comes smack dab out of my own community of so-called peers. The amazing individuals who fly me around to do private parties or surprise me with such unorthodox but generous gifts not even these simple minds wishing my defeat will comprehend why that now can never happen thanks to select ones within my clientele simply wanting to look out for me and my future.
The clientele Iβve built - mainly from being MassageM4M.comβs most-reviewed massage therapist for SEVERAL years on their entire website (the site was deactivated by Congress in 2018) and years of bookings coming from the swingers circuit scene overshadow the number of customers Iβve gained from social media, by far! Being on social media for me, now, is nothing but a popularity contest and I donβt give one single fuck about being popular. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirtβ¦ And the soundtrack.
What frustrates you the most about the black gay community?Β
The lack of genuine pride. I can name several Black pride events from several cities but not one of them is about representing actual pride when you attend them. I know this because Iβve both attended and worked officially for actual mainstream pride events that were not just created for one demographic. The vicious way we come at each other instead of building one another up (both online and off) is absolutely pathetic, especially when no one else in the entire damn world is reaching out for usβ¦.but this stems way past acceptance of being gay, itβs a black slave mentally thing that is stemmed into simple brains.
It is because of this very toxic behavior that Iβve endured for yeeeeears why Iβm just done dealing with these broken types coming at me online. My life is so pleasant, now, with blessings received that I never thought would be given to me. Iβve already made it quite known how my being βCorey Coreyβ helped put my own mother in the house sheβs living in today soβ¦now, itβs my turn to do the same for myself. With an ever-growing massage clientele across the country plus real friends and family that continue to support me, not to mention travel in the works thatβs about to take me abroad, far away from petty people who accomplish nowhere near what I do, what these negative non-factors say, think or do once Iβve logged off and terminated ALL of my social media platforms and leave cyberspace for good after MLK Weekend 2019 in Atlanta will be the last of my concerns. Iβll be kept far too busy by my ever-increasing massage clientele and benefiting from the blessings Iβve worked so hard for so damn long to receive.
