Lil Nas X was tossed into the middle of DaBaby’s Rolling Loud Miami controversy after T.I. used him to justify the KIRK rapper’s perceived homophobic comments. Now, Lil Nas X has finally addressed the public uproar on Twitter.
On Wednesday (July 28), the Grammy Award-winning artist took his thoughts to Twitter and marveled at the fact his critics are seemingly upset he’s gay and successful.
“some of y’all not even mad that I’m gay, some of y’all mad that i’m gay and still succeeding.”
Slut Walk founder and model Amber Rose pointed out something similar shortly after T.I. weighed in on the situation.
“What in the homophobia???” she wrote in her Instagram Stories on Monday (July 26). “Y’all are so mad that @lilnasx is fucking winning! To be this homophobic feels like they are battling something internally. This is not equality this is hatred. Period.”
She added in a separate post, “I’m an activist first and foremost this is why I started my slutwalk for EVERYONE to come and feel comfortable in their own skin! This perpetuates hate and violence! I stand with the LGBTQ Community. We should all feel safe at a concert no matter what our status is, who we love or who we wanna give head to.”
He also lost the support of his “Levitating (Remix)” collaborator Dua Lipa who was “horrified” by his remarks.
DaBaby Apologizes For 'Insensitive' Comments + CHIKA Goes In: 'You Are Mediocre In Every Way'
DaBaby was a trending Twitter topic over the weekend after he said mid-performance, “If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up. Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cellphone light in the air. “Fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”
The 29-year-old rapper has since issued an apology that read, “Anybody who done ever been effected by AIDS/HIV y’all got the right to be upset. what I said was insensitive even though I have no intentions on offending anybody. So my apologies. But the LGBT community … I ain’t trippin on y’all, do you. y’all business is y’all business.”
meh!!!! wouldn’t suprise me if they all was on this to gain attention for Nas x. rappers get to look like tough guys and Nas x get more sympathy views….. if the rappers speaking on Nas x was Dre, em, 50,jayz I’d believe this was all legit, but yea I’m filling this under they all in this together for hype
exactly – trash X is a clown but that doesn’t mean being a hateful prick is okay. just seems like we don’t have any control so it’s just buffoonery and gluttony on every end. Trash X represents everything bad about society and he’s gay as well which isn’t “cool” with me and nothing to be “proud” about in any private conversation. But people do what they do and you wouldn’t catch me onstage spreading hate for no reason either. what about baby’s gay fans? How would they feel standing in that crowd? Rap is the worst of everything brought to you by the all white corporate media and their BLM allies
The only person that cares about your sexual orientation is you. It has nothing to do with that. It’s the bullshit you’re pushing. It’s just easier to say everyone homophobic. It’s akin to calling everyone racist cause they don’t agree with you. After awhile it loses its meaning.
What? You are retarded. Lil Nas X dances around with dudes, is gay, and wants to perform nude for a MRV thing. It’s getting him views and money. Everyone seems to care about his sexuality. Including your dumb ass for saying that.
when he said “the only person that cares about your sexual orientation is you”, hes clearly referring to people who are perceived as “haters” or homophobes who have less than favorable things to say about lil nas x’s antics. of course it gets him views and money, because lil nas x purposely tries to stir up controversy by being in-your-face, super explict with his video content, and then try to pass it off as profound artistic expression of being himself. you can be gay without being extra or pulling shock value, edgelord tactics. it ain’t the fact that hes gay alone that people care about. kevin abstract and frank ocean are openly gay, but you don’t see them doing what lil nas x is doing, so quit acting like its his sexual orientiation itself that people have an issue with lol
Considering how successful Frank Ocean is, your argument not only shows that you didn’t really read what I said (which was explained to you before this), but you forget that there are gay performers in the industry who don’t exploit their sexuality in pervasive way to sell records. You can’t do that and not expect people to not be for it. That goes for female artists too. They aren’t going off your talent. They are going off of shock value to sell records. There was a time I was impressed how he came into the game with “Old Town Road”. I didn’t really care for it, but I was catchy and I could understand why people like it. Now he’s doing some twerking in the devil shit. Selling shoes with human blood in it. His antics at awards shows that children watch. The same children I’m sure has his “children’s book”. Miss me with your bullshit. All you’re doing is the same finger pointing he is doing.
Uh, Almost EVERY female rapper uses their sexuality in an exploitive way. LOL. You are stupid. 99% of rap videos have strippers in bikinis shaking their asses. You have to be REALLY dumb to think what he is doing is somehow different. Simpleton. It is OBVIOUSLY his sexual orientation people care about. No straight dudes are pissed off at WAP or Meg the Stallion dumb dumb. You bring up two gay artists that don’t put out number one songs. EVERY top 10 hip hop song has strippers in Harding’s shaking it. What’s your next nonsensical hypocritical argument there? LOL
NOOOOO CAPPPPPPPPPPP UnPopularOpinion big dum
sounds about right
Well too be honest I love rap but lilnasx is winning because ret now he is the only rap artist who has his own creativity and is owening it keep doing what you are doing young man much success to all the good rappers but lilnasx will out last you ?
Lol
lol what creativity? hes a shock value attention whore. the music he make ain’t original nor unique. he makes basic modern trap-ish stuff with gay lyrics thrown it, and kevin abstract and cakes da killa been rap gay lyrics long before lil nas x did it, and theres nothing inherently groundbreaking about talking about being gay. so again, nothing original nor unique. not hating, just the truth
it should be okay to be gay. people shouldn’t have to move mountains to try and make a man, or a woman, feel right about their sexuality. some people out there think gay people want to break up the family unit and force their sexuality on to others maybe there are homosexual people who do but the vast majority don’t. just leave them alone ffs.
Man fuck all da gay shit
Bruh, I have a guys name but I’m a gal. I love Drake, yet act like I’m a hip-hop head. I don’t work for this website. It isn’t suspect at all when I chime in.
Holding on to that 15 minutes of fame as best as he can. Buffoonery. Nah, nobody gay but you buddy.
Dumbass. Dude has 7 number one songs ?
Im sure you bought them all and play them on repeat. You lick his balls too?
Hahaha. The homophobe brings up gay sex. How rare. LOL. 7 number one songs. The most watched video of all time. People like you are making it happen guy. Hahahahahaha
First of all, we are all Sinners. GOD said we will all perish this world. GOD created each human different, so stop judging humans for how they are. People are going to be people, so just LOVE, UNDERSTAND, BE KIND to each, live your best life. Remember only GOD can judge
us.
So he is allowed to make fun of other rappers sexuality but when they make fun of his sexuality they are bigoted homophobes????
Seen the same shit happen to Manson… shock value sells, that’s why this article has more comments than most. Dude getting paid and living his best life, fuxx y’all internet nixxaz.
I can’t stand LilNasX or his homoimagery but he did tell the truth. You got a bunch of rappers wearing skirts, wearing makeup, and straight up trying to look as feminine as possible. They put out trash record after trash record and yet still be getting radio play. You think they ain’t given some gayboy executive head to get their music out? the f outta here.
They are gay too Lil Nas X. That’s why they’re chiming in. LOL. Like all of the closeted weirdos hypocrites in this comment section. Can’t keep dudes fucking each other out of their thoughts or mouths. LOL
Yet here YOU are, commenting…… According to your logic, you like dick bro.
Ok so for those who believe in the Illuminati and their presence in the music industry knows this already. Rappers as well as other musician genres in the game participate in homosexual activities. It is required. Either that or doing terrible and disgusting things to kids. So the rappers who act the hardest against the homosexual,homo-experimental,non-gendered community are those who are beginning to like their gay interactions and are struggling to keep fighting it off. Lil nas x scares them because he is open about the gay portion of music industry without directly saying the whole industry is gay. Which means we all will start to look closer at those like Da baby who make terrible comments about the gayniverse. And the aids comment was just pure stupid. Same thing about the comment on women’s scent. Uneducated af and smells don’t always mean you have a std or such. Chemical imbalance can happen from what you eat,drink,irritation from a tampon anything like bro….There is no black and white guidelines on the functions of a vagina they are complicated. Yall better read a book don’t follow this man’s ignorance.
Nobody’s gay
There just retarded
