New York, NY

During a recent interview with The Zach Sang Show, “Old Town Road” mastermind Lil Nas X (once again) responded to Dave East’s criticism of his viral hit.

Although he initially acknowledged the rapper with a tweet on April 18, this time he was more direct, noting “I do not give a fuck about what Dave East is saying.”

According to a Wednesday (April 24) Instagram Story, East thinks Lil Nas X responded correctly.

“You gonna ask the lil nigga what he thinks about what I say, he ain’t supposed to give a fuck what I say,” East says. “I don’t give a fuck about what nobody says.

“I couldn’t even get mad [at him],” he adds, noting that while he saluted him for doing his thing, he still thinks it’s a bad song. But he did blame the internet for blowing it out of proportion.

“Internet tried to twist the whole shit,” he says.
