Young Thug said in an interview with No Jumper, that Lil Nas X should have never come out to the world.
The rapper said he has much love and respect for Lil Nas X after working with him on the remix of “Old Town Road,” but he feels he needed to speak out.
He stated, “I feel like he probably shouldn’t have told the world… These days, motherfuckers, it’s just all judgment. Motherfuckers is just judging. It ain’t even about the music no more. Once you found out he was gay, as soon as the song come on now, everybody like, “This gay-ass n***a.” N***as don’t even care to listen to the song no more… I Just feel like he young, and backlash can come behind anything.”
Young Thug believes that now people won’t listen to any of Lil Nas X’s new music and this decision will be with him for the rest of his life.
Although, he did praise Lil Nas X for one thing. He said the “Old Town Road” rapper was smart in coming out on Pride month as well as releasing the remix the same week he came out, saying “That was a G’s move.”
