Lil Nas Xisn’t letting his haters go on unchecked.
Replying to someone sharing a video of an older gay man criticizing his “sexual” performance, Lil Nas X made it clear he’s going to just keep being himself, even if he wants to wear a dress.
“y’all hate yourselves so much. y’all live your lives trying your best to appease straight ppl,” he wrote. “y’all are uncomfortable with what i do because y’all are afraid they will be uncomfortable with you. work on yourselves.”
“i love who i am and whatever i decide to do,” he added. “get there.”

And, while replying to someone tweeting “being gay doesn’t mean you have to look or act the part of a fem,” Lil Nas wrote, “wearing traditional male clothing and using lebron memes will not help you make straight friends bro give it up.”
He later added, “it took me a lot of time to mentally prepare for this performance. while on stage i was trembling knowing that i was performing something like that in front of my straight peers. even during the performance i was having a hard time calming my nerves. thank you guys for the love.”
And after a fan critiqued the sexual nature of his performance and asked that he should “promote safe sex,” Lil Nas explained that wasn’t his job. “i don’t have to promote s— babe, i do as i please. i’m not passing out condoms at the motherf—n bet awards,” he wrote.
