Lil Nas X has
responded to criticism from trolls over his fierce Halloween costume.
Over the
weekend, the star went viral on social media after recreating Nicki Minaj’s
iconic ensemble from her Super Bass video, complete with a skintight pink
bodysuit emblazoned with giraffe prints and a half-blond and pink wig.
He even posed
with a motorcycle made of ice. Like, c’mon. There were so many fantastic
Halloween costumes this year, but Spooky Season 2020 belonged to
Lil Nas X. Facts are facts.
Fans lost
their goddamn minds, but there were some detractors – including 50 Cent, who
wrote: “What the fuck, Nikki come get him! Lol.”
The Candy Shop
rapper, who has a sordid history when it comes to his views over the LGBTQ+
community, was subsequently accused of homophobia by fans.
“Mm it’s the
homophobia for me, straight men are SO INSECURE its hurts,” one Twitter user
hit back, while another said: “This shouldn’t have bothered you.
“You could
have kept scrolling… now you acting mad sus, pressed about a young homosexual’s
costume.”
In a
now-deleted tweet, Lil Nas X responded in classic Lil Nas X fashion: “50 Cent
please stop making collages of me challenge.”
Sadly, the
homophobic remarks kept on coming, with American rapper Dave East sharing his
outfit on Instagram with the following caption: “And ya’ll was mad at me about
this n***a. Bati mon. Bun up!”
After one fan
hit out at East for his comments and his “obsession” with the LGBTQ+ community,
Lil Nas X said: “It’s “batty man” n****s can’t even be homophobic the proper
way smh butchering the hell out of the patois.”
He continued
in another tweet: “Bro I don’t bother a soul in this industry. All I do is
tweet and make bangers. Leave me alone damn.”
