Lil Nas X Addresses Charge He's Pretending to Be Gay For Clout

The other day, a video of Lil Nas X getting cozy with what looked to be a female had some speculating the famously gay artist wasn't really gay.

LNX heard all of that speculation and shot it down on his Twitter page.

y’all love saying i’m being gay for success but can’t name 5 successful gay male artists in the last 10 years to save your life

"y’all love saying i’m being gay for success but can’t name 5 successful gay male artists in the last 10 years to save your life," he typed.

Some folks tried to prove him wrong by pointing out recent gay artists like Frank Ocean and Tyler, The Creator (who may be doing it for clout).  However, they had trouble getting to five without making jokes about the sexuality of straight male artists.
