Lil Nas X, never one to shy away from speaking his mind (or, in this case, his tweet-fingers), is getting real about the difficulties of being an openly gay rapper. And, as you might expect, heโs giving us the candid, witty spin only he could deliver.
Brace yourselves.
The โOld Town Roadโ sensation, who strutted out of the closet in 2019 like it was a runway, decided to drop some Twitter/X wisdom with a healthy dose of humor and exasperation.
Here’s the tea:
โBeing a gay rapper is hard. Straight dudes got all the baddies,โ Nas lamented in what can only be described as the most relatable โwhereโs my hottiesโ moment of the year. โWe need more known homosexual vixens! Where are our Clermont Twins, where is OUR Lori Harvey, we deserve a Brittany Renner too!โ
The man has a point.
Nas isnโt just asking for a plus-one at the Queer Baddie Party; heโs demanding representation. Apparently, the supply of iconic queer vixens in the rap world is as scarce as a parking spot at the mall on Black Friday. Straight guys, according to Nas, are monopolizing the finest of the fine, leaving gay rappers in a thirst drought.
Nasโ tweetstorm comes shortly after he cryptically hinted at firing his โentire teamโ and starting fresh โ which is, honestly, the energy we all need when our vixen shortage reaches critical levels.
But one thing is clear: whether itโs through breaking charts or demanding a Brittany Renner of his own, Lil Nas X is here for the revolution. And honey, weโre ready to watch him lead it.
