Lil Nas X has a befitting response to homophobia
Lil Nas X has been in the limelight ever since he released the controversial music video of Montero song and revealed his sexual orientation to the world. Following its release in March this year, the 22-year-old rapper-singer performed the song live at the 21st BET Awards on June 27, 2021.

Later, the two-time Grammy Award-winning artist took to his Twitter handle to react to a now-deleted video of an older homosexual man condemning his steamy BET performance. In his response, Lil Nas X wrote, "y'all hate yourselves so much. y'all live your lives trying your best to appease straight ppl. y'all are uncomfortable with what I do because y'all are afraid they will be uncomfortable with you." He also added, "Work on yourselves, I love who I am and whatever I decide to do. get there."
