US singer Nick Jonas says he can neither confirm or deny whether he has sexually experimented with men.

"I can't say if I have or haven't," Jonas told Daily Star Online.

Jonas is promoting new TV show Kingdom in which he plays a gay character.

"Well I'm gay in Kingdom, if you keep watching the series you'll see more of that."

The 23-year-old is widely criticised as being a serial 'gaybaiter', a heterosexual male who purposefully markets themselves to gay audiences.

Jonas also plays gay character Boone in TV show Scream Queens and performed his hit Jealous at the 2015 Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras after party.

The pop star however disagreed with those who say he's exploiting the gay community for his career.

"In every situation when there's an opportunity to be negative some people find the need to be."
