'Old Town Road' rapper Lil Nas X faces down homophobic comments after coming out
Lil Nas X is laughing off homophobic comments after the viral "Old Town Road" rapper came out as gay because … Can't nobody tell me nothing.
The Atlanta musician, 20, closed out Pride Month by revealing his sexual orientation through song lyrics. He tweeted Monday, "just cuz i’m gay don’t mean i’m not straight."
While many fans and artists embraced Lil Nas X for publicly embracing his authentic self, others turned his announcement into a cruel punchline with nasty comments.
Some trolls suggested that the chorus to his hit viral country-rap hit was alluding to his sexual preference, leading Lil Nas X to tweet: "old town road is literally about horses."
The homophobic comments didn't stop there.
On an Instagram post meant to celebrate his song's historic run on the Billboard charts, Lil Nas X received comments bashing his identity, ranging from "Can you not be gay" to "He's gay I'm no longer listening to this (expletive)" to "U still gay tho."
