Lil Nas X has recently done an interview and opened up about his sexuality and using social media.
Nas said, "That was probably one of the first places where I was like, 'Oh my God, this is for me.'"
He continued, "It’s like my actual family. I’ve become closer with people I met online than people who I’ve met in real life. I’ve learned the ways of the internet. … I’ve learned how to go viral, and what to stay out of."
He added about his sexuality, "I feel like I’m much more out there with it. [In the industry] it’s always been, 'OK, you’re gay, this needs to be sanitized.'… Gay, but let’s not include anything sexual. It’s like, 'Be gay without being gay.'"
Lil Nas X continued, "I do feel like this newer generation of rappers who are coming in, and the ones who are here, are going to have to reshape their thoughts. Because change is happening. There’s going to be so many gay rappers. There’s going to be more trans people in the industry and whatnot. Ten years from now, everything that I’m doing won’t even seem like it was shocking."
