Lil Nas X caused a frenzy at the 2021 BET Awards when he kissed one of his male dancers at the end of his performance of “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name).” Many people were offended by the intimate kiss, like Coi Leray’s father Benzino, who questioned how parents would explain the salacious moment to their kids.
“I bought ol town road for ZINO, he knows every word but all the satanic shit I’m just not with,” Benzino wrote in an Instagram post. “I mean how do you explain shit like this to your kid?”
When it comes to social media, Lil Nas X knows how to use his platform well, and he caught wind of the comments Benzino had for him. Instead of getting upset, the “Old Town Road” rapper gracefully clapped back at the 55-year-old.
“I’m sorry but the thought of niggas sitting their kids down in the living room and telling them gay people exist is so hilarious to me,” Lil Nas X tweeted.
Even though the former Source magazine co-owner may not be rocking with Lil Nas X’s Egyptian-themed performance at the BET Awards, some legends tipped their hat off to the 19-year-old. Diddy took to Twitter following the electrifying performance to congratulate Lil Nas X for the strong display of confidence.
“Lil Nas X did that!!” Diddy wrote on Twitter. “Be fearless!!!”
On Tuesday (June 29), Lil Nas X dropped the trailer to Montero, his highly-anticipated debut album. Lil Nas X channels his inner superhero with a montage inspired by the opening credits from Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe in the short clip.
’Montero’: Lil Nas X Is Finally Releasing A Full Album
“‘MONTERO’ THE DEBUT ALBUM COMING SOON!,” Lil Nas X wrote across all his social media posts.
Livin’ in a duplex
Kissin’ dudes like “who’s next”
Cheated on my homeboy
‘Cuz he ain’t bout that poop sex
Who said this?
Diddy is tho
FACTS!
Gay sex is disgusting
Not hot lesbian gay sex, that shit is awesome. Ass to Ass with two girls is erotic
God killed men and women for homophobia. And reserved the
Lake of Fire for judgment Day.
You wouldn’t be saying that if
it were your mom or sister idiot!
Only virgins and religious blind losers think that bullshit cuz even most christian men wouldn’t hesitate to look at that shit unless it’s incest (But some sickos are into that stuff). If you believe everything that was told to you from every story passed down from generations then, he’ll you’d still should be petrified of catching the bubonic plague and polio even though we have cures for those conditions with modern day medicine but that still doesn’t seem to mean anything if scientific evidence and proof show otherwise.
“I could see if he was pooping”-Benzino
He didn’t say anything about explaining to his kid about him being gay. It’s the satanic shit that he was talking about. That victimhood is addicting. Who cares if Lil Nas X is gay. His blatant Satan shit in his music video is the problem. Then selling shoes with human blood somewhere in it? Yeah, no. I’d say he won’t really sell many albums, but the people will buy them for fear of being called homophobic, or bigoted. Keep in mind this guy has a children’s book.
LOL!! Diddy go sit down!! Why don’t you come out the closet and clear everybody’s curiosity!! I would never have my kids watch any black award shows!! They’re ratchet and some performances are totally disgusting!! I wish they would just sing/rap and keep it pushin!! For the first time, I agree with Benzino
He’s so clever and cool. The images art and ideas marketed to black kids are sick. I wonder if each culture has the media promoting these narratives like the black community? I wonder if there’s an Asian guy peddling satanic ideology to their kids or 2 white women being praised for twerking on each other and kissing on national tv. Or is there a Latin artist who is praised for singing about drugging women and destroying their communities?
they will avoid accountability by saying stuff like I’m not your kids roll model or that’s why you have to raise you own kids… blabla
benzino is right, but to me it looks like they really trying to destroy the black mans image by using homo and satanic shit to lower them . this shit has got to stop
Let the man live his life and leave him alone
