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.
East took to Instagram last week letting fans know his thoughts on the Billboard smash, stating: “I don’t know what the fuck is going on with Hip Hop; with rap [and] I ain’t no hater but that shit is wack. With a cape on it! And super wack!”

The interviewers sound like they are trying to do gotcha questions and that 2nd interviewer, the poor mans Mark Wahlberg, is weird af with his tiny body and big head with beanie. Old town road is a dope push in music country aint been dope since Jennings and Cash
Shit is super garbage..quote me on that
Internet didn’t twist shit. You whined to the internet about some shit that isn’t stopping your money and didn’t expect the internet to do what they do. Let the kids have their shit. Go make music.
lol he didn’t whine, he briefly gave his opinion and then moved on. you can give your opinion on music no matter how popular the artist is, and it won’t stop dave’s money or lil nas x money on the opinion of old town, so that was a dumb argument to make. still, according to your logic, simply stating your thoughts on something = whining? okay….
Then stay off twitter? Simple dony blame the internet your the dumbass posting your thoughts on it
There was absolutely no reason for him to explain what he said. I agree with his thoughts on the stupid ass track.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE’S ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO TAKES THINGS TOO SERIOUS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WHERE IT SHOULD BE A PLACE FOR CASUAL DISCUSSIONS, EVERYONE IS EITHER TOO RIGHTEOUS OR A TROLL.
Does anybody accept responsibility and stand behind their words anymore? I am so fucking sick of everything being the internet’s fault or “The Media”. Stop being punks and live your words. I hate this generation!!
Dont want your words twisted? Dont say shit then. Simple, you should’ve just owned that shit East & kept it movin. If that was your opinion than stand on it unapologetically.
