ZannoL 05/04/21 10:04:23 PM #1:	https://news.yahoo.com/lil-nas-x-isnt-afraid-165216648.html Lil Nas X has recently expressed how he feels about straight fans who are offended by him making queer music as a queer non-binary artist. In an interview with Entertainment Weeklypublished Tuesday, the "Old Town Road" rapper opened up about his prior concerns with "alienating" his straight fans before he released his homoerotic Satan-themed "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" song, which immediately became a No. 1 hit on Billboard in April. "At first I was really afraid of alienating any of my straight fans," he said. "But then it was kind of like, if they feel offended, they were never really here for me. They were here for whatever version of myself they made up in their head." The 21-year-old is currently striving toward being the most authentic version of himself, meaning he doesn't feel the need to please everyone. "Looking back on history, the biggest icons, the biggest artists, are the ones who aren't trying to always make everybody happy and who were doing themselves. I hope to do that at all times," he said. "At the end of the day, you are the main person that has to depend on you before anybody else. You have to love and nourish yourself." His song blew up and became the #1 song all around the world. Congrats to him <cite>ZannoL posted [p:953563692] in Lil Nas X:...
