Is Rapper Lil Nas X The Defining Figure Of His Generation?

In 2019, Lil Nas X brought two of the most hyper-masculine music genres, rap and country, together, creating a worldwide hit single and releasing it on the last day of Pride. Unfortunately, despite being provocative and brilliant, the decision to reveal one's sexuality was made hastily.

It all happened on the main stage of the Glastonbury Festival, where she surprisingly appeared on the set of Miley Cyrus. "People were waving proud flags, and it was exhilarating," he later recalled. "I thought, my God, this is it."

Montero Lamar Hill was not sure how his fans would react. Rap music, in particular, has some gay role models - as artists like the Beastie Boys, NWA, 50 Cent, and Eminem have used homophobic slander in their lyrics. In early 2018, rapper Migos Offset felt comfortable releasing a song that boasted, "I can't shake with freaks." Then, in July of that year, DaBaby - who worked with Dua Lipa and Megan T. Staylon - sparked outrage with many stupid comments about gay men and AIDS.

Lil Nas X is well aware of how many young black gay men are watched in the rap community. "I was thinking of taking him to the grave," he told the in 2019. "But I don't think I want to live my whole life... not do what I want. And I feel like opening the door to more people. They feel more comfortable [when they are outside]. "

But, surprisingly, most fans don't care. Old Town Road remained firmly at the top of the charts for weeks after it was announced, eventually becoming the longest-serving number one in US history. But the song itself, with lyrics for "Bull and Breast Riding," reflects Uss' earlier reluctance to acknowledge his sexuality.

Born in Atlanta and raised in the Church, he believes his desires are sinful. "I even thought if I had this feeling, it was just a test. Quick test. He will pass," he told GQ magazine.

She began to feel different when she immersed herself in online culture as a teenager and found that her religious ideas were being challenged. However, he didn't leave with his family until 2019: first with his sister, then with his father, a Protestant singer, who asked if the devil was tempting him.

He announced the news on Twitter with willful omission. "I thought I made it clear," she wrote, pointing to the rainbow pattern on her album cover. Negative feedback is sent quickly. "The next person who says something offensive will be kissed," he said.

"I make sure I choose my fights carefully," the star recently told Apple Music's, Zane Lowe. "I'm trying to pick the one I like:" Okay, here's what to talk about. " Because if someone is just "gay trash," there is nothing. But when someone says, "You persisted, and it destroys black people in general and fascinates," it is someone who truly believes in something against mere humiliation.

"So let me talk to this guy because you never know who's head blinking. Because I have a lot of opinions that I've changed over the last three years, right?"
