Lil Nas X, a rapper and queer icon, defies musical convention to create genre-blurring hits that challenge industry norms. His multi-platinum, Grammy-winning “Old Town Road” merged country with hip-hop to become a surprise chart-topper and radio hit.
After a recent performance at Lollapalooza Chile, one troll made an allegation that the MONTERO rapper was trying to “fake his sexuality.” He responded with an artful tweet that had everyone laughing.

Must I find myself engaging in such acts as giving oral sex at 3:45 am behind a McDonald’s in Chicago on a Friday night in the midst of Pride Month, all while live streaming on platforms like Twitch and Instagram Live, just for all of you to finally recognize and accept my true and colorful identity? 🌈📽️ #LilNasX
The “Industry Baby” crooner has a reputation for trolling critics, from cleverly shutting down disgruntled rapper Boosie Badazz to trolling haters over his Nike-inspired “Satan Shoes.” But he made his most impressive response to a group of homophobic protesters outside his Boston concert on Sunday night. After a video of the mob surfaced, the rapper tweeted: “Just told my team to send them pizza.”
The rapper’s response to a hater
Lil Nas X recently addressed a troll on Twitter who had accused him of pretending about his sexuality. He responded by saying that he’s not a hater, and is just defending his queer identity.
Lil Nas X has become the first openly gay entertainer to make waves in the music industry, and it’s clear that he’s proud of his queer identity. His music is inspiring people to accept their gay identity and enjoy positive gay experiences.

He also makes it a point to use queer imagery in his music, which is a unique move for a rapper. Historically, queer people have been stigmatized and often jailed for their sexuality.
The rapper has also teamed up with other LGBTQ artists to make positive music, and his songs have been a big hit. For example, he teamed up with Dua Lipa on her hit song “Levitating.” This was also the first time that an out gay artist has collaborated with a straight rapper.
The rapper’s response to a fan
While viral rapper Lil Nas X was making waves with his hit single “Old Town Road,” he had a secret that some people didn’t know about. The Georgia native had been running a Nicki Minaj stan account on Twitter before he broke into the mainstream spotlight.
In a recent conversation with Gayle King on CBS This Morning, Lil Nas X candidly discussed his journey of revealing his identity as a gay man and the profound influence his music has had on the LGBTQ+ community. He also gave fans an update on his debut album.
This individual managed a Nicki Minaj fan account, publicly kissed another guy on a highly homophobic TV show, and even performed a lap dance with a satanic theme. Seriously, is there a need for Lil Nas X to do something even more explicit for you all to believe he’s genuinely gay?

During the chat, a fan shared a clip from the rapper’s performance at Lollapalooza Chile, which prompted a couple of Twitter users to question his sexuality. In a typical Lil Nas X fashion, the star responded in true style. He took the opportunity to share his thoughts on the track he was most proud of, a song he titled “Montero.” The star even shared some slick dance moves with his audience and twerked to the song himself.
The rapper’s response to a critic
It’s been a big year for rapper Lil Nas X. He released his debut album Montero last September and dominated the awards circuit with two top singles. His latest, “Industry Baby,” features Jack Harlow and was nominated for the Billboard Music Award.
However, the 23-year-old has gotten some backlash for promoting a pair of modified Nike shoes that feature Satan imagery. It’s the kind of sex-themed clothing that’s often associated with religious people, and it’s made critics uncomfortable.
But the artist isn’t shy about responding to critics, and he just took on a troll who said that he was gay.
The tweet comes after controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate criticized Lil Nas X in an interview with Piers Morgan. During the conversation, Tate called him one of the ‘insanities’ in the world. He also unfavorably compared the singer to a social media star who was arrested for human trafficking. While the former kickboxer may be an unpopular figure, he’s a committed artist who donates to charity.
