Gay rapper Lil Nas X conquers the world charts

Lil Nas X storms the charts
When people think of rap, they often think of men who present themselves as straight, woman-loving machos. Lil Nas X is different. He has long made no secret of the fact that he is gay. Accordingly, not everyone is thrilled with his current chart success.

Some anti-LGBTQ groups have repeatedly used the rapper's works in the past to blaspheme - including on social media.

But his latest postings on Twitter show that the rapper doesn't seem to care much about that. His success proves him right - and he has also been able to significantly expand his fan base over the last few months (thanks in part to his extroverted manner). At the age of 20, he can already look back on considerable success. An end to the Lil Nas X boom is currently not in sight.

Lil Nas X hopes his haters are sad

... and celebrates himself a little bit at the same time. After all, he managed to get his second song "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" to the top of the US charts.

In the song and in the video, the rapper deals with his queer-ness completely freely. The story here even goes so far that he manages, after being damned to hell, to seduce the devil.

To what extent Lil Nas X is playing with his image as a bad boy here remains to be seen. What is certain is that there are currently few artists who provoke as uninhibitedly as he does. Some celebrate him, some hate him for it. But just about everyone has an opinion.

A gay rapper? Is that possible? - Oh yes!

Not only many gay athletes are afraid to come out. The number of officially gay rappers is also (still?) limited. Accordingly, the probability that many here live out their passion secretly is high.

Lil Nas X, however, has decided to do the opposite. His outing is now almost two years ago and sometimes it seems as if he has used this step as a liberating blow - also in artistic terms.

Due to the partly provocative, but always self-confident manner, he should also encourage many people, among others. If you look behind the artistic facade here, you will see a person who stands by himself. Lil Nas X as an inspiration? Maybe. His fan base is at least already so large that in any case it is ensured that he can reach many.

But not only musically and with regard to important statements, the actions of the rapper draw wide circles. Only recently Lil Nas X was in the discussion, because he created with the "Lil Nas X Satan Shoes" shoes, in which a drop of human blood is contained.

He seems to have mastered the crossing of boundaries like no other.

Who is Lil Nas X anyway?

Lil Nas X is one of the younger artists in the rap scene. He became known to the wider public with a mix of country and hip hop and his song "Old Town Road". However, at the latest since "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" there are also many people who are critical of the artist's songs and are now also taking a closer look at the somewhat older songs.

He himself should not mind the whole thing. Even if a partially exaggerated self-confidence for modern rappers certainly also belongs a little to the "good tone", one accepts Lil Nas X quite that he is certainly happy to have wiped out his haters with his success.

It remains to be seen how he will continue to pursue his career and with what actions he will make a name for himself in the future.
