Lil Nas X and
James Charles are not hooking up, the musician made clear after a YouTube video
of the pair together sparked speculation.
The musician
surprised fans this week by making an appearance on the make-up guru’s YouTube
channel to promote his
new Christmas single “Holiday”.
In the video
released on Tuesday (17 November), Nas gets a festive futuristic make-up
transformation from Charles inspired by the track.
He explained
in the video: “I was like, let me step out of my comfort zone a little bit, and
now I’m here with James Charles.”
The pair’s
brief moments of flirtation in the video led some fans to speculate on
Twitter about whether they were anything more than friends.
One
volunteered: “I just know they f***ed after this,” while another wrote: “Two
bottoms doesn’t make a top”.
Addressing the
comments, Nas made clear: “Two gay men can do things together without y’all
sexualising it”.
Lil Nas X
tells James Charles all about his Nicki Minaj stan account.
In the collab
video, James Charles quizzed Lil Nas X about his past running a
since-deleted Nicki Minaj fan account on Twitter.
He explained:
“I had a stan account for some years. I was pretty much a huge fan of Nicki, I
still am. She’s an icon, she’s a legend.
“I wanted to
step away from the account, especially starting a music career and everything,
and I wanted to be my own person.”
Charles also
asked Nas about experiencing homophobic abuse from 50 Cent, after the
rapper attempted to mock him for dressing up as Minaj for Halloween.
Avoiding
mentioning 50 Cent by name, the musician responded: “It didn’t make me mad. It
got this person so interested into what I was doing that he posted me on his
own accounts, you know?
“It’s like, I
definitely did something right! If you didn’t make anyone mad, you probably
didn’t do something right, is how I feel about it.
“I want to
break down these barriers, so when the next wave of LGBT+ rappers and
entertainers come up, they’re in a better space.”
Speaking about coming
out, he said: “It was nerve-racking, it was scary as hell, and then
not knowing what was on the other side. But it was just like, a feeling, and I
was already feeling so free with everything happening, I was just like, heeey
everybody!”
