Lil Nas X is ready to be your next queer icon!
The Grammy winner opened up about his sexuality in a new interview with The Guardian, telling the outlet he didn’t originally plan on coming out as a young gay black man.
In fact, the rapper said he “planned to die with the secret” before he rose to fame. He shared:
“The honest truth is, I planned to die with the secret. But that changed when I became Lil Nas X.”
Since sharing his truth with the public, the Old Town Road performer has gone on to express that part of his identity through eye-catching fashion statements on the red carpet. And while he’s fully prepared to represent the LGBT community, Nas doesn’t want his young fans thinking they have to dress a certain way. He said:
“I 100 percent want to represent the LGBT community. I don’t want to encourage them to do something they don’t 100 percent want to do. Especially in, like, middle school or high school. Because it’s just super-hard.”
It’s never easy to be something you’re not — but, sadly, for people in certain situations, it’s much easier than being who they truly are.
