The Happy Little Pill singer-turned-actor Troye Sivan recently appeared on the Las Culturistas podcast, hosted by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, where he discussed his upcoming music album, She's the Best, and opened up about the Khia Asylum rhetoric that's been circulating online since 2024.During his conversation with Rogers and Yang on the August 26, 2026, episode of the Las Culturitas podcast, Troye Sivan, 31, discussed how he is not worried about the first-week sales of his upcoming album, which is set to be released on October 9, 2026, as he cares about something more meaningful, like making sure that his fans remember his music. According to Billboard, Sivan said:"I honest to God could not tell you what my first-week sales [are]. I’ve just never really been numbers-minded when it comes to music stuff."Troye went ahead and shared that to him, what matters more is the impact of his album on pop culture. Sivan added:"The heartbreaking thing, like rather than it only [selling] however many thousand or whatever, would be if it went by without any sort of cultural impact. I would be devastated."While he talked about his album, Troye Sivan also touched upon the Khia Asylum rhetoric, which began as an internet slang and online meme that essentially defines a fictional prison system particularly meant for pop music artists who are no longer relevant and commercially successful.The Strawberries & Cigarettes hitmaker Troye, referring to the Khia Asylum rhetoric, made it a point to call out the bias and double standards in pop music, mainly targeting female artists. The Boy Erased actor, Troye Sivan, said:"I think the whole Khia Asylum thing doesn’t get said about boys that much. I think it’s a spectrum of how much people nit pick at you and pop girls have it really bad."He further added:"The straight boys might talk s**t about you online, but either they don’t care or they don’t get it as bad. I do think that straight boys can get away with releasing stuff that if a queer artist or a female artist released, they would get ripped to shreds."News outlet Pop Crave took to its official X (formerly Twitter) handle and, through a post, shared Troye Sivan's take on the Khia Asylum rhetoric.

I think I’m gonna look back on it in like 50 years and be able to play a couple of the songs or all of the songs and be like, wow, I’m really proud of 31-year-old Troye for doing that."Keep following Soap Central for more.
