Lil Nas X snaps back at homophobic rapper jealous of his success and Grammys

I just caught up with this, but apparently I'm a bit behind everyone else because its the number one trending item on Twitter:



Here is the really offensive part:


I know what you are thinking. Pretty much everyone else is thinking it. We all know who Lil Nas X is. He is the openly gay rapper who burst on the scene with the number one smash hit "Old Town Road." The song was number one for 19 weeks, making it the longest a song remained at the top spot since the charts began in 1958.

Lil Nas X is also the recipient of a multitude of awards including two Grammys on Sunday evening. By contrast, hardly anyone knows who the heck Pastor Troy is. 

I guess he is some rapper. I'm not even gonna post his picture because it's so sad how he pulls the "this is harming our black men" card to display his jealousy. He's not fooling anyone, particularly on Twitter. Presently, he is getting dragged for his fakery, homophobia, and bizarre mention of mozzarella sticks.

Lil Nas X has weighed in on the situation with a tweet, which I thought was very appropriate:



Now some may ask why is Little Nas X giving this man any attention. The answer is relatively simple. Young LGBTQs and especially young LGBTQs of color are most likely abreast of this situation.  It was no doubt refreshing for them to see someone like them - Lil Nas X -  achieve success and acclaim. I'm sure it feels equally good to them to see an LGBTQ in the public eye turn something meant as disrespect into a positive.

It certainly feels good to THIS LGBTQ of color right here.
