Lil Nas X officially came out on Sunday, June 30, which also marked the last day of Pride month. The “Old Town Road” rapper thought he “made it obvious” about his sexuality when he dropped the cover art for his debut EP 7.
Lil Nas, 20, first clued his followers in on his sexuality by citing his song “C7osure (You Like).”
“Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more,” he tweeted. “But before this month ends I want y’all to listen closely to c7osure.”
“True say, I want and I need to let go, use my time to be free,” the song begins. “Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow/No more red light for me baby, only green, I gotta go/Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take ahold/This is what I gotta do, can’t be regrettin’ when I’m old.”

The hip hop star then shared the cover art for his EP 7 in a separate tweet that featured rainbow imagery in the background. “Deada** thought i made it obvious,” he wrote.
Lil Nas received a ton of support from his fans after coming out. “Music is still dope who cares it’s 2019 bro do you,” one tweeted. “Well good for him for being true to himself,” another wrote.
The Atlanta, Georgia native has taken over the music industry with his hit “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which has now spent 12 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
