Lil Nas X is
opening up about his dating worries.
The “Montero
(Call Me By Your Name” singer recently opened up about the subjects of dating
and dealing with trolls. The celebrated musician approached these topics while
talking to Entertainment Weekly.
After coming
out as gay in 2019, Lil Nas X says dating life has presented a fear.
Specifically, he’s worried that the guys getting close to him are using him as
a “stepping stone” to fame.
“I’ve
honestly gotten to this point where I’m just like, okay, I hope this person
actually likes me for me [and] isn’t trying to use me as a stepping stone,” the
musician confessed.
He then
added, “I’ve just got to a point where it’s like well, even if they are [using
me], then that’s a lesson learned. I can’t just stop meeting people because of
this fear.”
This isn’t
Lil Nas X’s first time talking about the woe’s of dating culture. Last month,
Nas made it clear that he wasn’t a fan of the “top” and “bottom” labels in
gay sex spaces. While answering fan questions in an Instagram Q&A, Lil Nas
X argued that top and bottom labels have become a form of misogyny.
“I get this
question a lot. I’ve never been a bunk bed kinda guy, I like king-sized beds, I
like queen-sized beds,” he initially joked to a fan asking if he prefers to top
or bottom.
“But for
real, all jokes aside, with this top and bottom s**t in the gay community, it
has become a huge form of misogyny, and it’s like how you n****s misogynists?”
the singer continued. “You’re all gay, you’re f*****s. We’re all f*****s.”
In his ET
interview, Lil Nas X also talked about the constant flow of criticism and
trolls that find their way to his social media pages. The 22-year-old shared
he’s grown used to the hate and encourages it. That way, people are still
talking about him.
“When I first
got famous, I would block everybody [who was abusive,]” he reasoned. “But now
it’s like, okay, cool. For me, I would rather somebody hate the s*** out of me
when they’re talking about me rather than not say anything at all, because
that’s giving more power to my name.”

He may have a point but, he's kinda being too harsh about it, too. 🤷♂️
ReplyDeleteSome guys are just tops only or bottoms only & he shouldn't expect from others to change. 😉
