Lil Nas X Responds To Backlash Over His BET Performance
Lil Nas X made heads turn when he kissed a male dancer during her fiery BET Award performance on Sunday evening (June 27).
Now the “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” rapper is speaking out about the controversial kiss after receiving some backlash, “DON’T USE AFRICAN CULTURE FOR S***S LIKE THIS!!!!!!! RESPECT OUR ANCESTORS,” one person tweeted.
“Y’all really like to pretend homosexuality didn’t exist in African culture,” Lil Nas X fired back.
Lil Nas X is gearing up for his upcoming album, “Montero,” which is the title of his latest single which has already hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
it took me a lot of time to mentally prepare for this performance. while on stage i was trembling knowing that i was performing something like that in front of my straight peers. even during the performance i was having a hard time calming my nerves. thank you guys for the love.

you’re right i am insecure about my sexuality. i still have a long way to go. i’ve never denied that. when you’re conditioned by society to hate yourself your entire life it takes a lot of unlearning. which is exactly why i do what i do. https://t.co/PtiehZdDGS
