Lil Nas X took to Twitter on World Pride Day to open up about his sexuality.
In two separate posts the rapper, who had a New Zealand No.1 hit with his global breakthrough single Old Town Road, seemingly came out as gay, remarking, "I thought I made it obvious".
In his first post on the subject he referenced his new single, 'c7osure', writing, 'some of y'all already know, some of y'all don't care, some of y'all not gone fwm no more. but before this month ends i want y'all to listen closely to c7osure.'. The post was punctuated with the rainbow emoji.
The lyrics in the song seem to address his decision to come out, with the rapper repeating the line, "This is what I gotta do, can't be regretting when I'm old".
