Lil Nas X Responds To Dr. Boyce Watkins' Claim That Rapper Is Helping To Spread AIDS

Political analyst and author Dr. Boyce Watkins isn't a fan of Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow's video for "Industry Baby," which shows X dancing naked in a prison shower with other men.

#LilNasX isn’t fighting for gay rights.

He’s marketing the sexual irresponsibility that’s causing young men to die from AIDS.

Being gay is one thing, but being a super spreader is another.

There’s nothing healthy or helpful about that video.

Especially for children.

"He’s marketing the sexual irresponsibility that’s causing young men to die from AIDS," Watkins tweeted about the video on Sunday, July 25. "Being gay is one thing, but being a super spreader is another.  There’s nothing healthy or helpful about that video.  Especially for children."

Then X — who typically defends himself when people talk bad about his sexuality — shot back.

y’all be silent as hell when niggas dedicate their entire music catalogue to rapping about sleeping with multiple women. but when i do anything remotely sexual i’m “being sexually irresponsible” & “causing more men to die from aids” y’all hate gay ppl and don’t hide it. https://t.co/ZiwbYcIH5l
