Lil Nas X came out as gay in 2019, and since then, his career has only gotten bigger--but that doesn't mean he hasn't faced his fair share of hate. Last night at the BET Awards Lil Nas X kissed one of his male background singers during a performance of his hit single "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" and received a wave of backlash from people online. The 22-year-old artist came out as gay last year during Pride Month.
Lil Nas X has never shied away from addressing his haters directly, talking about the controversy in a series of tweets this week. He brushed off the criticism and told the public that his work isn’t intended for children, adding that a fake Satan being used in a music video is far from the worst that could happen.
