Smash hit country rap phenomenon Lil Nas X back tracks on being gay today and makes a sudden u-turn, confusing fans.
Is Lil Nas X Gay?
Who can forgot the country rap single "Old Town Road" by the American rapper and songwriter Lil Nas X? The track was such a hit that it remained at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 for 19 weeks, but music related news wasn't the only topic surrounding the artist around the time.
New rumours are circulating online suggesting that the rapper isn't gay and we found it really odd that those peddling such ideas don't understand the cause. Rest assured if you're one of them as we'll explain why, although it should've been obvious LOL.
The 20 year old born Montero Lamar Hill came out as "gay" to his Twitter followers in June 2019 on the last day of "Pride Month". In a message to his followers on Twitter, the rapper posted: "some of y'all already know, some of y'all don't care, some of y'all not gone fwm no more. but before this month ends i want y'all to listen closely to c7osure", followed by several emojis including a rainbow.
Earlier today Lil Nas X seemed to back track on his revelations by implying his previous disclosure was for a planned joke. He posted to his 4.3 million followers, "i was never gay. i said it to build up fuel for aprils fools day. ha got u guys", and "where the hoes at" in a subsequent tweet.
In case you're out of touch or less informed about certain traditions in the Western world, this all happened on April's Fools Day and wasn't meant to be taken seriously. We found it hilarious that he somehow managed to fool a dozen "too many".
Rumours began to spread that rapper lied about being gay to gain clout. This isn't the case and due to the unfortunate circumstance of the coronavirus it's easy to forget the days during self-isolation.
His intent became clear when he further tweeted "ok i'm gay again". We genuinely thought that April's Fools was cancelled this year for obvious reasons, but it gave us the chuckles and it was appreciated.
