On the final day of Pride Monthand fresh from wrapping up a set at the Glastonbury music festival in the U.K. this weekendrapper Lil Nas X officially came out as gay.
He made the announcement in signature fashionwhich is to say, on Twitterby asking followers to take a closer listen to C7osure, the final song of his recently released EP.
Some of yall already know, some of yall dont care, some of yall not gone fwm no more, Lil Nas X wrote. (Also, thats fuck with me, for the abbreviation-impaired.) He closed out the message with a rainbow emoji.
The accompanying animated video to the song shows a boy at one end of the dinner table as his family is arguing. He propels himself out of the scene, which is in black and white, up through the sky, landing in color on a beach-side chair. As the cartoon loops over and over again, Lil Nas X can be heard singing:
True say, I want and I need to let go, use my time to be free ... Aint no more actin, man that forecast say I should just let me grow/No more red light for me baby, only green, I gotta go/Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take ahold/This is what I gotta do, cant be regrettin when Im old.
To dispel any ambiguity, the genre-bending artist also pointed to his album art, where the rainbow motif shows up multiple times.
Deadass thought it was obvious, he quipped.
