Lil Nas X came out as LGBT+ in June

The ‘Old Town Road’ rapper came out as LGBT+ after a series of not-so-cryptic tweets.

“Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care,” the 20-year-old tweeted on World Pride Day (June 30).

“But before this month ends I want y’all to listen closely to C7osure.”

Taken from his recently released EP 7, ‘C7osure’s’ lyrics talk about letting go and being free.

“Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow,” the track begins.

“No more red light for me, baby, only green, I gotta go.”

In a second tweet responding to queries from fans about whether he had come out or not, Lil Nas X added: “Deadass thought i made it obvious.”
