Lil Nas X had to hit back at ridiculous claims that he's pretending to be gay as a publicity stunt. A Twitter user posed the question that the star was faking his sexuality just to hit the charts, but the Industry Baby singer immediately shut it down. "What if Lil Nas X is pretending and acting all gay in his songs and music videos just for the numbers and charts?" they asked. "Show business." The 22-year-old musician swiftly responded: "no i just like d**k.
nothing deep to it lol." His song Montero (Call Me By Your Name) is currently number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. Lil Nas received backlash for the music video - in which he pole danced his way to hell in order to give Satan a lap dance.
