Lil Nas X's coming out message has been welcomed with a wave of support and criticism alike.
Now, the chart-topping rapper is formally addressing his sexuality for the first time in a new interview with BBC Breakfast.
During the conversation, the"Old Town Road" rapper -- whose given name is Montero Lamar Hill -- discussed the potential impact his identifying as gay could have on his career in country and hip-hop music. "I mean, it's just something that I was considering just never doing it, ever, just taking to the grave or something," X said of his coming out message."But I don't wanna just live my entire life -- especially, you know, how I just got to where I'm at -- just not doing what I wanna do."As for his detractors, X still maintains a positive outlook.
"I mean, learning the internet over the past couple years, I used to be that person being negative," the 20-year-old reflected."I'm not angry or anything because I understand how they just want that reaction, but I'm just gonna joke back with them." As previously reported, X closed Pride Month by sharing with fans that he identifies as a member of the LGBTQ community. The details of his struggles to come out are chronicled in the song"c7osure."
