Billy criticized Vogue's decision to make Harry its first man cover star in a more recent interview with , where the triple-threat artist and upcoming author noted that his own style broke boundaries before Harry's did."I changed the whole game," Billy said."I. Personally. Changed. The. Whole. Game. And that is not ego, that is just fact. I was the first one doing it and now everybody is doing it.""I feel like the fashion industry has accepted me because they have to. I'm not necessarily convinced and here is why," he continued.
