Lil Nas X slams BET with new track after award show snub: “F**k BET”
Lil Nas X has slammed BET and their awards show snub with his new song, Late To Da Party. On 1 June, the nominations for the upcoming 2022 BET Awards were announced.
Amongst the nominees were some of the music industry’s biggest artists, including Doja Cat, Drake and Chloe X Halle. However, one of the artists missing from the expansive list of nominations was Lil Nas X.
In response to being snubbed by the award show, LNX expressed his disappointment in a series of now-deleted tweets. “Thank you, BET awards.
An outstanding zero nominations again. Black excellence,” he tweeted on 1 June. In an additional tweet, the Holiday rapper gave further insight into his frustration, writing: “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.” 2021 proved to be a monumental year for LNX due to the release of his hit number one single Montero (Call Me by Your Name), its accompanying music video and his critically acclaimed debut album Montero.
