“Maybe I’m floating around right now,” he told Cohen. “I just want to work on music, and every now and then, you know, maybe I’ll kiss a guy every blue moon.”
“I’m at this point in my life where I finally realized that I don’t want to fall in love,” he said. “I’m so focused on my music career, and love takes a lot of time. It’s a lot of responsibility, and I don’t think I’m ready to have that extra responsibility on my shoulders right now. When it happens, it’s going to happen.”
About his single “Sun Goes Down,” Lil Nas X admitted, “I’ve never done something so personal.”
“To be 100 percent honest, I didn’t want to do that song at first,” he added about the intimate track, which sees him reflect on coming to terms with his sexuality. “I guess it was because I’ve never done something so personal. I was scared to let people see my vulnerability, because I didn’t want them to use it against me.”
“But when I released the song, I got messages from people telling me that it saved their life,” he continued. “It doesn’t feel real quite yet.”
