a lot of people are sick of old town road, others have cancelled lil nas x over some islamophobic comments he made in the past the latter were really bad and i understand why anyone (particularly muslims) would not want to support him after that, but at the same time... i've heard he did apologize and take back the statements. so, the twitter brigade actively tearing down a young gay black man who's beating out a lot of mediocre white artists also seems... not great. it's complicated.
I appreciate you giving me a good run down of things. As a muslim my...enthusiasm has waned for this release. I've looked for his apology and I believe people can change for the better...but I'm cautious. I hope he has found peace in his heart.
basically, he tweeted several times saying that islam was a violent religion, on an old nicki minaj fan account (some claim this wasn't actually him but the evidence seems strong) it seems that he never actually addressed this directly but after becoming famous, he later tweeted that he regretted how he used to "spread hate" overall he seemed to take the accusations very lightly :/
It's fitting that RM is collaborating with an openly LGBTQ artist since RM ended homophobia when he said he liked that one Macklemore gay rights song where Macklemore keeps reminding us he's straight
lmao i'm loving some of the reddit reactions i saw, especially the one that said lil nas x is an anime mastermind who just activated a trap card.
pepple are taking this way too seriously. it's a final (?) remix of a meme song by a professional twitter troll where the guest feature talks about a native farming tool. the homi wordplay is funny knowing they already had a big sale rush earlier in the year and will probably make a big comeback
It took me a few minutes to realize that it wasn't a fan edit and that it was really happening XD not the news I was expecting opening up my phone this morning XD Btw Lil Nas X is a genius. Involving kpop crazies is such a safe way to stay on top of streaming charts and keep the memes rolling lmao.
i still want the megan thee stallion/dolly remix he tweeted about but this is kinda cool too. Obviously done for more streams to beat the record but it shows how relevant bts is

The wordplay slays.
This is what internet was created for.
