He also hopes that he’s “opening doors” for other LGBTQ+ musicians.
“Especially within the country and hip-hop communities, is not really accepted in either,” he said. He also said that both country music and hip-hop don’t have the best track record when it comes to LGBTQ+ acceptance. “But I don’t wanna live my entire life-especially how I got to where I’m at-not doing what I wanna do.” “It’s something I was considering never doing, ever-taking to the grave,” he continued. When asked to clarify what exactly he revealed, he said, “That I am gay.” “I kind of revealed, you know?” he said. In a new new interview with BBC Breakfast, X said that he didn’t want to have “anything to hide” from fans.
Now, the vocalist has revealed more details behind his decision to come out publicly. The “ Old Town Road” hitmaker took to social media to highlight lyrics from his recent song “c7osure,” as well as the album art for his recent 7 EP, which includes a rainbow-striped building amongst its skyline imagery. On the last day of June (which is also Pride Month), Lil Nas X came out as gay.
