Lil Nas X gives Billy Ray Cyrus a Maserati after “Old Town Road” hits #1 for Seventh Week

This song is hot rotting garbage. They play it endlessly at work.

Delightfully playful. Lovely lyrics. Three snaps up.

Dumb negro. Save your money. Billy Ray is fine.

Great song

Are they lovers? Billy Ray has had plenty of gay rumors and Lil Nas X pings in the OP.

What did Billy give him?

Lil Nas is gay, gay, gay. He used to be part of Nicki Minaj's stan Twitter where he was openly gay and talked regularly about getting fucked and "backing his pussy up" on dicks. He used to send videos of himself jerking off to other guys on Twitter.

You know Lil' has given up his hole to Billy Ray

Hilarious. And fun.

Wonder how the old Yee Haws are lovin it.

Gross!! The song stinks 😷

OMG what a waste of money.

R7 yeah no shit one look at that igga and you can see bottom bitch.

The song isn't great but Billboard created the situation where it has become something more than it is. The executives sitting in NYC and LA, have their idea of who country fans are, but they don't really. Most young country fans are into two kinds of music, country and hip-hop and they enjoying the mixing of the two. Go to any high-school parking lot or college party in the South or rural Midwest, and you will hear nothing but a mixture of the two. And they will not accept being told what to like. It is like when Elvis combined country and R&B defying the separation, and people responded and made him a superstar.

But, the executives want to enforce an outdated separation of the two, that was always artificial, in the past they separated them into hillbilly and race records. Even though they were often singing the same songs, with the same session musicians, released by the same company. In the 1950s, James Brown and Little Jimmy Dickens recorded for the same record company using the same session musicians, and even contributing to each other's records.

Loved Chris Rock calling out "Buttigieg" at the end.

It would have been nicer if Billy Ray had given Lil Nas X the car.

Wow he really gay??? He seemingly is a one-hit wonder - this type of novelty song usually is. So good lick to him. I mean luck🤣

R16 You could have said the same thing about Billy Ray in the early 1990s, but he is still around. Maybe Lil Nas will stick around and then force his child on the world.

Why are all these rappers called “lil”???

R18 I had a classmate in college that was an aspiring rapper, and we were discussing stage names one day, and he told a girl if a rapper has lil in their name, they have a small dick. I'm sure it isn't true, but ever since then it makes me laugh whenever I see a rapper named lil (whatever).

It's a term of endearment used somewhat ironically, R18.

I just read that he just signed a seven figure merchandise deal with Wrangler. This kid is a brilliant marketer for being so young.

Lil Nas X - Old Time Road (Gay Version)

R20 bitch gets a Maserati and she signs with Wrangler???

LOL R22! I mean, if anything can make Wrangler cool aga- no, no, you're right.

Nothing looks better on a man's ass, than a tight pair of Wranglers.

Not to me

wranglers are the only pair of jeans I wear. Straight from walmart.

R26 The best Wranglers are cowboy cut, but I don't think Walmart has them. I get mine from a local western wear store.

screams billy ray let the kid have a taste of his......steak.

[quote]Why are all these rappers called “lil”???

I assumed it was used for guys who were really young when they started their career.

nas still bi?

Wednesday, May 22, 2019 Blind Item #1

It was a newsworthy gift for sure from this A- list rapper/singer to this former A list singer. The thing is though, the record label paid for it along with the company that delivered it in exchange for the publicity they knew would occur.

Thanks, @R31 I was just going to reference that blind item. That black nelly rapper doesn't have that kind of money anyway rappers are notorious for getting ripped off and underpaid.

Cute couple

Huh? Did Billy Ray write the song?

R32 yup. Unless they’re white. Eminem says hi.

billy ray swings for young bucks?

Not surprised, miley like her old man....wild.

I prefer Nelly and Tim McGraw's Over and Over song

R38 that was a good song. This ones dumb. And that rapper is gay as hell. Watch the video.

The videos ridiculous

I think he’s adorable.

Watched the video with the sound off have to protect my beautiful brain, the rapper is a bottom he'll be in drag in his next video was that Brat Pitt in there? No chemistry with Billy Ray

Love it!

So many questions. Is this song a Billy Ray cover ? Why does this Lil Nas X feel the need to buy Billy Ray a Maserati ? How much does one cost ? We all liked Billy many years ago when he was younger and hotter. I just don’t understand.

He needs to gift Billy Ray Cyrus a new wig

All I see are lips and nostrils in OPs pic

I’m sick of morons getting pr for “buying” ANYTHING. Very kardashian ... snore

Oh please Lil Nas no more gave Billy Ray Cyrus a Maserati than he sprouted wings and flew to the moon. I'm sure the car went back to the dealer after the record company's PR department was through with it.

Huge hit

There is a gay porno out in the 80s that looks just like him. The name is Black Force and he is a prison guard that has sex with a prisoner. I couldn’t find a picture to post.

Millennial music blows.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ...

this was cute

R44 No, it isn't a Billy Ray cover. Basically, some asswipes at Billboard decided that they wouldn't let the original version be on the country charts, even though it does receive play on country radio. So, Billy Ray went in and did a collaborative remix, fixing the issues that Billboard had, so now Billboard can't say shit, and has to allow it on the country charts.

Eight weeks at number one

I hate to say it but I actually think Old Town Road is a pretty cool song. I like the way that the story told by Billy Ray Cyrus's older-sounding more jaded verses contrast with the enthusiasm of Lil Nas X's verses about being new on the scene, and the chorus is catchy.

Time: It seems too strange to be true: an unknown teenager, sleeping on his sister’s floor, whips the nation into a frenzy with a horse song, defeating Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran on the charts and throwing the supposed supremacy of long-established gatekeepers—from the Billboard charts to Nashville radio to major labels—into disarray. Lil Nas X didn’t get here through a random fluke, but through shrewd calculation. He fanned the flames of an online cowboy craze and boosted his reach with a social media fluency, a cunning sense of humor, and a perfectly-chosen saddle partner in Billy Ray Cyrus. And perhaps most importantly, he wrote the song’s undeniably monstrous hook, which is catchier than anything the big pop machine has churned out in recent memory. He’s a new kind of renegade on a new kind of frontier. — A.R.C

It’s a stupid song that won’t age well. This dude 15 minutes can end soon enough.

Love this song

Ten weeks at Number One

This kid's adorable and I'm happy for him.

It definitely should be the other way around. But hey I'd trick for that hot piece of middle aged redneck ass too.

What a strange and horrifying time we live in.

I can understand mixing country and rap but who decided to put Billy Rat Cyrus in this song? Why not a current country star? In the early 2000s Nelly and Tim McGraw did a country rap song but that made sense because both of them were popular at the time. Billy Ray Cyrus is some weird old man who accused David Lynch and the devil or destroying his family.

Disgusting.

Already, rappers are using "Old Town Road" as a map for insta-fame. Among the top 20 songs currently on SoundCloud's country chart, 13 would've been unequivocally considered rap songs four months ago. (The Billy Ray Cyrus remix and the original "Old Town Road" are still the top two by tens of millions of plays; at No. 3 is Blanco Brown's "The Git Up," a fellow TikTok hit and unabashed country-trap grift.)

It will Likely be the biggest song of 2019

Lil Nas X officially came out as gay today.

yay for gay!

now watch his song tank

half the hetero boys and men humming his song are suddenly hate it

Good for him!

I never heard of him (or paid attention) until today. Good for him. He's gorgeous, and I hope he has a wonderful career. I listened to his hit song, and I think it's rather moving.

Good lad, honest and not bi or gender fluids

Go on, my son

Good for him and I hope he sells millions more records. He’s adorable.

So do we now have a black country star who’s also gay? O brave new world!

Did straight dudes not know that Old Town Road is literally about riding dick? It's about he and his bf going to a deserted road and fucking.

I'm going to take my horse down to Old Town Road And ride till I can't no more

Well this is a shocking but pleasant turn of events

nas dig that cowpoke weenie?

Now I need a video

13 weeks at number one, the biggest hip hop song in history

Dwayne Wade Sends Encouraging Words to Lil Nas X

Pete Buttigieg: .@LilNasX has gone from viral sensation to groundbreaking musician. As a fan, I’m thrilled and inspired to see him standing in his truth as a member of the LGBTQ community. Welcome to the family! #pride

Does Pete like to "ride until he can't no more?"

I'm sure.

Was Billey Cyrus ever rough trade? He was so fine in youth. Even today, he exudes sexy. I'd let him fuck the shit outta me and even bottom.

Excellent pander, Mayor Pete. High degree of difficulty. Unfortunately, according to Quinnapaic, Mayor Pete is polling a whopping 0% among black voters

He released a pretty dope track with Cardi B.

Dude is more than a one hit wonder.

I hope he grows and becomes one of the biggest artist of all time. No white twink would have done this. Not that I think every white twunk that DL insists is gay, IS gay but come on. Bravo to him.

"Panderin' Pete" I like the sound of that! I'll be sure to use it

R88 oh please there were so many receipts lol bitch could not stay closeted for long

He just wants to get into Billy Ray's skin tight britches.

I suppose the attractive Billy Ray is in there, somewhere. But as it is he looks like a haint these days.

Haint, bro?

Billy Ray is less attractive IMO knowing now that he spawned Miley who looks a lot like him

Billy Ray is one of those entertainers you have to feel sorry for. That he thinks dressing and adorning himself like that is impressive is embarrassing. He looks like a clown and only a fool would look at him and be impressed.

The song is on the rock Chart now

.@LilNasX's "Old Town Road" is the first song in 22 years to achieve diamond certification while number-one.

It doesn't have diamond certification. The RIAA stated that the song is only certified as 3x platinum.

Lil Nas X spoke about the backlash to coming out as gay in a BBC interview, Friday.

The “Old Town Road” rapper had hinted about his sexuality earlier in the week in series of Tweets highlighting his lyrics and the artwork on releases of his songs. “I kinda revealed it,” he told the BBC when asked about his sexuality. Pushed on what he had revealed, he replied: “That I’m gay.”

He was asked whether he expected any negative reactions to the news. “Oh, I’m already getting it,” he said. Evidently, it has not phased him. “I used to be that person being negative,” he said. “I’m not angry or anything [about it], because I understand how they just want that reaction.”

Off the back of a triumphant performance of crossover hit “Old Town Road” at the Glastonbury Festival, Lil Nas X was speaking from the more sedate surroundings of the “BBC Breakfast” studios, at one point walking in front of, and blocking the camera on the British pubcaster’s morning news and entertainment show.

He admitted he had considered never coming out, but had a change of heart. “I don’t want to just live my entire life, especially how I got to where I’m at, just not doing what I want to do,” he said. “I’m also, I feel like, opening the doors for more people.”

After chatting to two presenters, the @LilNasX walked off set at the end of the interview, but accidentally strolled right in front of the camera. #LilNasX #OldTownRoad #Funny #Video #BBC @BBCBreakfast

[quote]“I kinda revealed it,” he told the BBC when asked about his sexuality. Pushed on what he had revealed, he replied: “That I’m gay.”

Well, fucking finally. It only took a week of people inferring this from his tweets.

[quote]“I’m also, I feel like, opening the doors for more people.”

That's a lovely thing to say.

You think Frank Ocean is seething? He was supposed to be the favorite black gay pop star.

Love it.

Hate the song, but the fact that 4 black entertainers (Darius, Kane Brown, Mickey Guyton and now Lil Nas X) have had numerous huge hits on the country charts in the last year is pretty amazing.

Wow. Did not know Jimmie Allen was black.

Make that 5 big artists.

Lovely song. Great voice. Pure country.

r106, Fall the fuck back. And stop trying pit BLACK AGAINST BLACK. YOU INGREL.

This shit should have ended like a decade ago. Way past it’s expiration date.

He did admit he was gay, watch this from ET Canada.

He's hot.

There must be nudes leaking somewhere...

R109 what the hell is an ingrel? You fall all the way tha fuck back......

mayor pete is a killer rapper at partys.

eager for his next relese to rock the world yea !

R113 he’s a bottom Hoe of course there are

I like the 5 minute spiken word intro. All songs should start out with dialogue.

That lil nasty or nas or whatever he calls himself SHO IS UGLY !!!!!!! and the song sucks ass too !!!

Bump

Bump

This week, on the chart dated July 13, Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" celebrates its 14th week atop the Billboard Hot 100, with 13 of those weeks also including featured remix guest Billy Ray Cyrus.

The number 14 is a special one in terms of Hot 100 longevity, as only 10 singles in the chart's 61-year existence have ever spent that many weeks at No. 1. But 16 is the number that marks absolute Billboard history, as only two songs have ever lasted that many weeks on top -- and none have ever stayed longer.

I still haven't heard this song. I can't abide by hillbilly music.

Lil Nas X has asked Mariah Carey to hop on a remix of Old Town Road! He’s determined to break the record for longest ever #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 - a record Mariah currently holds (in a tie with Despacito)!

The Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus western rap began its 15th week atop the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart Monday, marking the third-longest run at No. 1 in the list’s six-decade history. Only 1995 Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men hit “One Sweet Day” and 2017 breakout “Despacito” stood at the top longer, each notching 16 weeks.

The viral track also leads a handful of subsidiary Billboard charts: Streaming Songs, Digital Song Sales, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot Rap Songs and Songs of the Summer.

He has five/six remixes of this tired wack song out. What a desperate troll!

Instead of breaking the record on it’s own accord he is going to go down as a one hit wonder joke. Vanilla ice, Rico Suave etc.

Let's hope your level of omniscience equals your level of grammatical skill, R126.

He has three songs on the charts

R128 it does not make them hits . His desperation is sad at this point now a remix with dolly. Just let this shit die with dignity!

Naw, go for the all time record

He knows he's the epitome of the one-hit wonder, so he's going to make as much money off this song as he can.

His album flopped like a fish out of water.

R131 he has no talent and his music sucks!

Now, speaking with XXL, Lil Wayne has also revealed that he’s getting in on the “Old Town Road” game, explaining that “they” asked him to an “official remix.” He admits that he’s not sure if they’ll use what he came up with, but clips of it having leaked out. At the very least, it sounds like it involves Lil Wayne rapping over an instrumental version of the song. Maybe Lil Nas X is just waiting a few more weeks before dropping another version? That is just good marketing, after all.

finna be a pro at this in a minute lmao

I stream Old Town Road at least once a day, not necessarily because I want to (I do), but because I’m doing my part to get a song by a black, gay artist to hold the record for longest at #1 on the charts. We’re so close!

[quote]Loved Chris Rock calling out "Buttigieg" at the end.

Nope. If anything it was a NASCAR Darrell Waltrip reference, talking about the speed.

#BREAKING: Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" ties record for longest No. 1 ever 🚨

One more week

Huge

It's gonna happen.

Billie Eilish is the biggest threat

Billie already released her Bieber remix and it didn't do anything. LNX is unstoppable for now.

Historic

No one cares about this stipid record the only reason it will Be brought in the future up is when another awful song comes close to breaking it.

R144, you’re old dude

I want his nudes!

He is so hot bro

R145 it’s all butt shots hes a pussy bottom.

Please post a link, 148...

R148, that is....

Link?

He put a BTS twink on the track!

Seoul Town Road! Wow

Boom!

How does one afford to gift a Maserati with one hit? Maybe it was an agreed year lease for publicity

Maybe

Black Gay Man Has the Longest No. 1 in History Michael Love Michael 10m

For weeks, Lil Nas X has made headlines for his unstoppable debut single, "Old Town Road," and its Billy Ray Cyrus remix. Now, it's official: Lil Nas X has cemented his place in the annals of history for having the longest-running no. 1 single in the Billboard Hot 100 chart's history, with 17 consecutive weeks spent on top.

So far, he has managed to rise from TikTok fame to beat his contemporaries, including Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, Katy Perry, Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, and Billie Eilish, who all released summer singles that failed to dethrone him. By its 13-week run, "Old Town Road" became the longest-running hip hop number one of all time.

R157 no one cares...

Gosh, he's an ugly man.

Congrats Lil Nas X. Historic

Ah, the classic comment in a thread about the topic telling people how much you and others don't care. You're a clever one, r157.

I want to sample him repeatedly.

Longest running #1 hits in Billboard Hot 100 history (weeks): Old Town Road 17 One Sweet Day 16 Despacito I Will Always Love You 14 I'll Make Love to You Macarena Candle in the Wind 1997 We Belong Together I Gotta Feeling Uptown Funk End of the Road 13 The Boy Is Mine

R159, you don't like black guys. We get it. We'll live.....

This is now the biggest hit ever. The first few chords remind me of Deliverance. America is a cesspit at the moment.

I guess his coming out didn't slow down the momentum.

Biggest music story of the year

At just 20 years old, Lil Nas X has made a huge mark for himself on the Billboard charts with his first single, and one of the chart legends was quick to offer her congratulations, even as he unseated her nearly 24-year-old record.

Taking to Instagram on Monday night after Nas X notched his 17th consecutive week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with "Old Town Road," Mariah Carey took to her Instagram page with words of praise for his accomplishment.

Ashanti Hopes Other Musicians Will Follow Lil Nas X Out of the Closet (Exclusive) VIEW STORY "Sending love & congrats to @lilnasx on breaking one of the longest running records in music history!" Carey wrote. "We've been blessed to hold this record with a song that means a great deal to @BoyzIIMen and myself and has touched so many."

Released on November 14, 1995, "One Sweet Day" was a powerhouse collaboratin between Carey and Boyz II Men, two of the hottest acts of the era. A monumental smash hit at the time, the song was even performed at Princess Diana's funeral service.

Nasty looking thing. I don’t care how long this shit remains at the top, it is not the best song ever made.

As if length of time atop the charts ever denoted song quality, R169. I'm happy to see an out and proud black man make history for this anyway.

r164 I wonder how many of those white gay insta whores, especially the WeHo types will throw themselves at Nas X?

Never heard of the song - it's garbage. Wow was that bad.

So awesome to have a 20 year old black Gay rapper make music history

Sounds like “music” deplorables would play at a dirt monster truck festival. No wonder it’s doing so well in the US.

He’ll be broke and dead in a few years. Easy come, easy go. Who wants to listen to more of this junk?

[quote]Sounds like “music” deplorables would play at a dirt monster truck festival.

Deplorables don't like Lil' Nas X. At all.

R176 I can assure you they love this country hip hop shit. You need to get out more. If Billy Rae were not featured, this junk would not be anywhere. He’s redneck trailer trash.

Billy Ray gave us Miley. No Miley, no bops. Also she is "apart" of the community as non-binary and ally

Wasn't there a ton of controversy after Billboard had this song in the Country charts? That proves that, at the very least, a significant contingent of deplorables don't care for this song.

R179 receipts ???

There were many articles published about the controversy about whether it was a country song or not.

I still want those nudes.

God she’s fug

We get it r183

With his new fame and fortune Will he be Mc Hammer or Jay-z? Giving a fancy car to an already rich man suggests the former.

He’s sexy, right? Lil Nas? He’s got a pretty face.

I think he's cute.

BRC is the bottom right?

He’s hot

He ugly. He funny lookin'.

12,000 kids singing a song by a gay black guy.

R190 you have half the posts here lol

R191 Jesus Christ. I think we'll have to wait another generation for a song to do what Old Town Road did. It's too zeitgeisty to replicate anytime soon.

Country is a joke these days with too much rock and the occasional rap so i don't understand why Old Town Road wouldn't fit right in.

Music evolves dude

[quote]The state of music today is SAD!

You can say that again! However, since he’s gay, I am happy for him having so much success and that the longest running number one ever is by a gay man.

Is he gay gay ? Or just "Aaron Carter" gay ?

He likes dudes

“What did Billy give him?”

Probably an Achy Breaky Fart from the shock of that elaborate gift.

Is he still gay?

Billy Ray actually saves the song.

Historic milestone

Shitty shitty song. Similar to Achy Breaky ❤️ Americans have no taste.

We could certainly find a dearth of taste, or at least an example of lacking taste, in nearly every country, R214.

.......

R214, link an example of the type of music you like dude

I find funny when people make comments about how crappy is music now, like there were no tons of crappy music in previous decades.

People remember the good ones or the most iconic and forget the rest. There are tons of huge hits of previous decades that didn't pass the test of time either.

What i'm glad is that coming out didn't affect at all at his success, it was huge that someone with only one big hit had the balls to come out. And i'm glad that the song prevented Shawn Mendes (who is exactly the example of the opposite, someone ashamed of himself who do fake relationships for promotion) to get a number one (and Lil Nas did that two times)

Old Town Road,” which features Billy Ray Cyrus and is spending its 19th week at No. 1, surpasses the record set by Drake’s “One Dance” on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart. Drake’s track spent 18 weeks at No.1.

'Storm Area 51': After 2 million RSVPs, its creator announces alien-themed music fest

On the Hot rap songs chart, where Lil Nas X’s county-rap tune is also spending its 19th week on top, the 20-year-old beats the record set by Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Missy Elliott’s “Hot Boyz.” The latter three songs each spent 18 weeks at No.1.

*Lil Nas X gives Billy Ray Cyrus a blowjob after “Old Town Road” hits #1 for Seventh Week

I'm thrilled for Nas, especially with him coming out when he totally didn't have to. The song? Meh.

Thrilled for Nas? Why?

I think it would be interesting to see ass pics. Also to see him sucking cock with his big lips and sucked in cheeks. (It is a look)

Still waiting on those Goddamn nudes!

Billy should be thanking this twink from plucking him back from obscurity. Probably by riding him over and over again.

He looks sexy in some pics. He has nice features. Wonder what he would look like muscled

19 weeks are more than enough.

And i'm happy for Billie (who was number two for a lot of weeks), i like her even before listening her music just because she totally ignored Shawn Mendes

Now we need Lizzo to get a #1

I love Lil Nas X so much. I hope he doesn't change his body and shit like some asses are suggesting because he looks perfect the way he is. Don't change for anyone boo xo. Skinny guys like you and I are amazing just the way we are.

Nasty 😷

Boss

I wonder how much money he is making

She’ll be broke in a couple years. Easy come easy go. He win the lottery and will waste it all.

Ewww. R234 Calls dudes by female pronouns.

I know most oh you don't think so but I wonder what he's gonna do for a second act. Old Town and is EP deals with his take on country music tropes but he's gonna have to deal with being a young gay black man in hip hop. That's when things get real.

Frank Ocean and Tyler, the Creator are doing fine. I think Lil Nas X is going to do well, especially as his music evolves.

Exactly

Tyler the creator never came out, he is in the glass closet (more or less)

It's like when George gave Lionel a $300 watch

It's like when George gave Lionel a $300 watch

r239

The point someone was making was about "homophobic black hip hop", but Tyler, the Creator has lyrics about gays and men and is referencing gay media in his lyrics and still getting #1 albums. Also openly talking about dating guys. He even rapped about gay sex on a hip hop radio show and he's still doing well. You really shouldn't ignore this because it's very significant.

Tyler is like many dudes: openly into dudes without labeling himself as “gay.”

Quite honestly, Frank Ocean and Tyler the Creator's audience is white alternative (and that's where they're romantic interests lie) Lil Nas might be more comfortable catering to that audience than the contemporary hip hop and r&b audience. We shall see.

r244

Despite what you might think, they both still have that hip hop and R&B audience.

Yeah r244 and that person everyone rolls their eyes at.

Tyler is out. He just has fun watching everyone (from ALL sides) freak out about it.

R247 He is maybe out with his friends and family but he is not publicly out, the fact that a good bunch of his fans think he is joking everything something gay related comes out of his mouth is because you can really take what he says as a joke (something that wouldn't happen if he was publicly out)

Wrangler on my booty...

The song is incredibly catchy.

At least in this case i understand why it got massive, something that i didn't got from Closer or some of Drake's biggest hits (specially One Dance)

VMA Song of the Year

AYE PANINI✌️

@lilnasx will forever be A LEGEND FOR THIS #VMA performance 🔥⚡️

He’s a joke and his song is flopping. One hit wonder no doubt!

It's no joke to come out at his age and to have already achieved what he has. Why not commend him for that instead of spewing vitriol? Did he turn you down or something, R255?

A rapper that has to lip synch is a joke sorry. And panini is floping hard.

Maybe, but I'd take your comment more seriously if it approached some approximation of literacy.

R257, you sound utterly miserable and poisonous. You’re the type who people avoid. Nasty

It's no secret that DL is overrun by people wallowing in Schadenfreude. This thread is a prime example.

Bill Ray Cyrus is still fkin hot. I'd let him do anything to me and buy him a Maserati if I had the dough.

Lil Nas X Invites Joe Jonas on 'Panini' Remix as Jonas Says His 'Old Town Road' Remix Was Overlooked

Lil Nas X has made history as the first openly gay man to receive a Country Music Award nomination.

— MTV (@MTV) August 27, 2019 And now, Lil Nas X has made history after becoming the first openly gay artist to be nominated for a Country Music Award in the Musical Event of the Year category.

Although over the years, there have been a few notable coming-outs in country music, the genre is still considered conservative.

Lil Nas X’s nomination marks a breakthrough moment in country music and having the single nominated shows the CMAs are showing their inclusivity to the rest of the industry.

thank you guys for this nomination!!

Nice

Stop asking Lil Nas X about "Old Town Road" 😤 It's all about #Panini

Much ado about nothing. When he pumps out hit after hit and remains at the top for decades, let’s talk.

panini is a flop he needs to just pretend it never happened. Actually lets all Pretend he never happened.

Panini is a banger

Nuuuuuuudes!

I can’t wait to see LNX on HBOs “The Shop” with Kevin Hart and Gronk!

Oh good, Kevin Hart will be able to crack anti-gay jokes to an actual gay man.

He’s doing the Sirrius Weekend Countdown this week

I love his deep, masculine speaking voice

I think Panini will blow up eventually. Often times songs take some time to take off. Especially since people are still stuck on Old Town Road.

Panini is one of the hottest songs of the year for me, so I think it'll definitely be biig, just needs time to catch on.

Panini has gotten positive reviews and reception

Panini is already a hit, having attained top 20 chart status:

US Billboard Hot 100: 16 US Mainstream Top 40 (Billboard): 25 US Rhythmic (Billboard): 11 US Rolling Stone Top 100: 4

Shhhh, don't disturb the DLers who are heavily invested in the myth of LNX as a one-hit wonder.

Lil Nas X has opened up about his decision to come out as gay last week, explaining he hopes that by going public with his sexuality, he can inspire change in the music world.

"I kind of revealed [it] .... that I am gay," he told the BBC in an interview Friday about his cryptic tweets at the end of Pride Month.

“It’s something that, you know, I was considering never doing, ever. Just taking it to the grave or something," he added. "But I don’t wanna live my entire life — especially how I got to to come out as gay.

"And with all that early success, you felt it was important to make an announcement recently?" asked marketing executive Paul Rivera, referencing Lil Nas' record-breaking run atop the Billboard Hot 100.

But before Lil Nas could properly answer, Hart blurted out, "He said he was gay! So what?" Lil Nas then said he wasn't "forced" to come out, but made the decision to live openly because "growing up [he had been taught] to hate that shit."

"Hate what?" Hart interrupted again. "Hate what?"

"Homosexuality, gay people," Lil Nas explained.

"Why?" asked Hart.

"Come on now," Lil Nas responded.

"Why are you growing up to hate it?" Hart said.

"If you're really from the hood, you know," the rapper said.

Lil Nas went on to say that his decision to come out while experiencing a career high would show that he wasn't doing it for attention, but instead to show fans that his sexuality is not important. Later in the same episode, Hart told Lil Nas that "in no way shape or form should" he have to "defend" himself by coming out and saying, "But guys, this is what I am."

"That's not it," said Hart, who then tried to put himself in the rapper's shoes and offer advice. "It's guys, 'This is what I'm going to do.'"

In December, Hart stepped down as Oscars host after initially refusing to apologize for using the words "fag" and "homo" extensively as insults on social media for years. In one tweet, he had said he would break a doll house over his son's head if he discovered him playing with the toy. In a 2010 stand-up set, he also once said, “One of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay.” Only when he subsequently quit as Oscars host, he "sincerely apologize[d] to the LGBTQ community for [his] insensitive words from [his] past."

But Hart's apparent surprise to learn about anti-gay prejudice from Lil Nas reignited a conversation online about whether he'd truly reckoned with his own past.

Really admirable of him to come out. so mature for his age and he’s barely out of his teens. He’s not even legal to drink. He just maybe a one or two hit wonder but I hope he’s got enough dough so that he’s set for life. He seems to have a good heart and and a good head on his shoulder.

Cool dude

Panini is #14 on Billboard chart. Another LNC hit!

*LNX

The meteoric (and now sustained) success of Lil Nas X in 2019 is and will forever be inextricably tied to Billboard. It's the key element in his origin story, and it's been recounted hundreds of times now. But quickly: After "Old Town Road" hit No. 19 on the Hot Country Songs chart in March, Billboard removed it, saying it didn't "embrace enough elements of today's country music."

Then something insane happened: "Old Town Road" hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 and stayed there, becoming the longest-running No. 1 in the chart's 60-year history. There were endless remixes. Lil Nas X won his first-ever awards at the VMAs. And now, he's on the cover of Billboard's 2020 Grammy preview issue, seemingly not sweating the colossal expectations a year like 2019 would impose.

"I'm not worried about anything," he says in the interview.

.@LilNasX's "Panini" rises over 50 spots to #1 on the US YouTube songs chart. It dethrones "Old Town Road" after 23 weeks at #1, becoming the first song to do so.

The first openly gay hip hop superstar

One hit wonder!!!

Is that a tongue in your cheek, R288, or are you cognitively challenged?

He’s sexy

Ayy, Panini, don’t you be a meanie 😊❤️ @LilNasX #iHeartFestival2019

She is so not sexy.

R296, we aren’t into your nasty fem drag queen personality. Kick rocks dude.

LNX surprises Atlanta students

It's such a simplistic, forgettable song. I don't get it.

Even compared to, say, Ginuwine's song "Pony" (which also played on the metaphor of riding horse (i.e. big) cock, and had a video set in a cowboy country-style bar). "Pony" was a very silly song too - but it was far more catchy and melodic.

There are parts of "Old Town Road" that even sound exactly like "Pony". It's like a newer, more simplistic version.

It’s not for you r300. It’s not vulgar.

What is not vulgar? "Old Town Road"?

"Ridin' on a tractor / Lean all in my bladder / Cheated on my baby / You can go and ask her / My life is a movie /Bull ridin' and boobies".

.@LilNasX's #OldTownRoad has officially reached Diamond status

Horny men are waiting for u here

I found the song unlistenable. We're at an all-time low for music. Worse than 1981 (Kenny Rogers) and 1987 (Janet Jackson).

"The first openly gay hip hop superstar"

How quickly they forget.

R305, no, you’re just out of touch and have weird taste

Can anybody recommend a good carpet cleaner? @LilNasX 🤔

Variety

He's good looking, young, sexy and has had gay sex . What's not to like?

Lil Nas X, Billy Ray Cyrus win two Grammy Awards

They give them to anybody now. Cardi B has one. haha. It's a joke. And he looks like a Gremlin.

R318, ya jealous, bruh?

Billy Ray is not gay. Two of his kids are gay. People get confused.

R319 Well considering the fact that I'm much better looking than gay Gremlin, I don't want any Grammy's, and I'm not even in the entertainment industry the answer is clearly NO. You may be into worshipping shit like this but not me. BRUH. (which is stupid and ghetto btw) Why did my post upset you? That's the real question and issue here. Go make something of your life.

R321, thankfully people like LNX. I doubt you are liked

R322 Your post makes absolutely no sense but nice try. I'm very well liked bitch. I have to turn down invitations because I want to be ALONE. Try again and please type in English.
