Lil Nas X
appeared on the kids’ show Arts & Raps to draw a portrait
with the two pint-sized hosts when he got an unexpected question.
What does it
mean to come out of the closet?
Picking his
words carefully for a younger audience, Nas responded, “It means you’re like,
‘Hey everybody, I’m this thing, and you guys didn’t even know that, but now you
know.”
One of the
co-hosts, not quite catching on, told his own “closet story.”
“My older
cousin, he keeps pushing my brother into the closet,” he said. “And we close the
door and blink the lights on and off, and then say ‘666’ or ‘Bloody Mary.’ And
then he swore he saw something.”
Trying not to
laugh, Lil Nas X tells the boy, “That’s exactly what happened to me. That’s
exactly what I meant when I said I was coming out of the closet.”
When the other
cohost asks him, “What does it mean to be unapologetically you?” Lil Nas has
the best answer.
“It means just
doing yourself at all costs, no matter who’s watching.”

I adore this man. Could he just run the world? (stand down, B-Bouncy. Let someone else have a turn.)
