Lil Nas X went all out for Halloween by dressing up as Nicki Minaj from her “Super Bass” video, but not everybody was a fan of the look. On Saturday (October 31), Dave East took to his Instagram Stories to comment on the “Old Town Road” hitmaker’s costume choice.
“And y’all was mad at me about this n-gga,” East wrote below a photo comparing Lil Nas X’s outfit to Minaj’s.
He added in the next story, “BATI MON. BUN UP!!!!” along with a facepalm emoji.
Lil Nas responded to East’s comments by calling him out for being homophobic and correcting his spelling of Jamaican Patois.

“It’s ‘batty man,'” he wrote on Twitter. “N-ggas can’t even be homophobic the proper way smh butchering the hell out of the patois.”
Shortly after, he posted another tweet telling people to let him live in peace, writing, “Bro I don’t bother a soul in this industry. All I do is tweet and make bangers. Leave me alone damn.”
This isn’t the first time East and Lil Nas have exchanged words. In April 2019, East criticized the quality of “Old Town Road” while questioning the integrity of current Hip Hop music.
“This fucking ‘Old Town Road’ shit is fucking wack,” East said. “I don’t know what the fuck is going on with Hip Hop [or] rap. I ain’t no hater man, but that shit is wack with a cape on it. It’s super wack.”

Days later, Lil Nas acknowledged his comments in an interview on the Zach Sang Show, saying, “I have the No. 1 song in the country. I do not give a fuck about what Dave East is saying.”
