Lil Nas X posted on Twitter that he actually was not gay but just a joke for April Fools’ Day 2020. While some fans were confused by the statement, Rapper Ka5sh caught on to the joke. He said: “Coming out as straight is so brave.” Nas X then replied: “It’s hard but somebody has to take a stand and lead the others straight people afraid to be themselves.” Soon after the rapper ended the joke and celebrities like Adam Rippon expressed relief.
