BET has released a statement in response to Lil Nas X’s recent diss track and allegations of homophobia. On 1 June, the awards show – which celebrates African-American artists in music, acting, sports and other fields of entertainment – announced their nominations for the upcoming 2022 ceremony, which features stars such as Doja Cat, Drake and Chloe X Halle.

Despite having two of the most commercially successful tracks of 2021 with MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) and the Jack Harlow-assisted Industry Baby, both of which topped the Billboard Hot 100, Lil Nas X was snubbed. “Thank you, BET awards.

An outstanding zero nominations again. Black excellence,” the rapper tweeted in response, before providing further insight into his frustration: “I just feel like black gay ppl have to fight to be seen in this world and even when we make it to the top mfs try to pretend we are invisible.” Following his tweets, the Grammy winner doubled down on his comments with a snippet of his brand new single, Late to the Party.

In a video, Lil Nas X can be seen singing along to the song’s opening line, “F**k BET.” In an additional tweet, Lil Nas X wrote: “This is not over no BET award this is about the bigger problem of homophobia in the black community, y’all can sit and pretend all u want but I’ma risk it for us.” After a fan questioned why the star would care about the snub when he’s been recognised with two Grammy Awards, he said “this is my point exactly”. “How can i get acknowledged by the most acclaimed award show in the world and then not even just 1 nomination from my own people?

Entertainment Conservative YouTuber enlists “anti-woke” Minion army in the culture war against Disney
Gen Z users dress to the nines to go catch Minions: The Rise Of Gru on the big screen.So, it should come as no surprise that, yes, even conservatives lay claim to the Minions, using the googly-eyed henchmen for their own memes and nefarious purposes.Related: Chris Evans doesn’t mince words when asked about homophobes hating on ‘Lightyear’At least that’s what’s happening over on YouTube, where the trolling video editor know as “Yellow Flash” has decided, one, that Minions are some kind of emblem of conservative ideology and, two, their recent box office success is making the “woke” left “furious.” Um, sure?We’re embedding the video below for posterity’s sake, but we strongly suggest you don’t watch, lest the inanity of Yellow Flash’s musings turns your brain to mush and has you speaking gibberish just like the Minions.Somehow, this is all Lightyear‘s fault. As we’ve reported, the recent Pixar film’s inclusion of a (very brief) same-sex kiss has conservatives in a tizzy, and some—like Yellow Flash—have tried to paint the tepid box office for the Toy Story spin-off as an indicator that audiences are rejecting “woke Hollywood.”Enter Minions: The Rise Of Gru, the sequel to a spin-off that’s also technically the prequel to 2010’s Despicable Me, the animated family film that first introduced the world to Minions.
