He said he was initially thrown by the idea, until he looked back at his own career.‘That didn’t make sense to me,” he said. “And then I thought about it and I wouldn’t be where I am right now in my life and career if I weren’t delusional.“Believing that I could drop out of school and become an international success within a year, it’s delusional.
Believing that I could come out of the closet in the height of my career…to think that I could do that would be delusional,” he continued.“To think that I could make a song about a man lusting after another man in a world where…it’s still legal in many places to be prosecuted and actually be killed for being who you are, for being gay, it’s delusional to think that that song could be the number one song in the world.”He finished by saying, “It’s OK to be delusional when you’re chasing your dreams.
When you have a vision in mind, you can be delusional.”Lil Nas X’s FULL acceptance speech for ‘Male Artist of the Year’ at the #iHeartAwards2022 pic.twitter.com/BWPAq6iSy9— ⚜️ (@lilnasxmajor) March 23, 2022Related: Six times Lil Nas X won the year by putting haters in their placeThis is the TikTok video that Lil Nas X was talking about.The tiktoker and the video that she made that Lil Nas X was referring to in his IHeartRadio music awards speech tonight is kierralewis75 on tiktok.
