Lil Nas X Comes Out as Gay on Last Day of Pride Month

Lil Nas X performing “Old Town Road” at the BET awards last week. The rapper’s coming out on social media feels fitting, as he built his fame as an amateur meme maker.

The 20-year-old “Old Town Road” rapper pointed to the lyrics of “c7osure,” a song off his new EP, as confirmation of his sexuality.


In the song’s lyrics, Lil Nas X sings, “Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow.” Later he says, “This is what I gotta do, can’t be regrettin’ when I’m old.”

A few hours later, Lil Nas X posted the album art for his eight-song EP, called “7,” on Twitter. It features Lil Nas X in his cowboy gear, riding a horse and looking out on a skyline bright with rainbow lights.
