Lil Nas X went above and beyond simply leaving fellow rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine on read when he shared a screenshot of the one-sided conversation with his 9.5 million TikTok followers.
Nas X posted a video in which he exposes Tekashi for sliding into his DMs (twice). He paired it with a screenshot of a homophobic joke Tekashi made at his expense.
Commenting on a headline about China making Covid-19 anal swabs mandatory for foreigners, Tekashi wrote: “Lil nas x entered the chat.”
That’s certainly a different tone than he struck when hitting up Nas X on Instagram.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Gonna be in ya city soon what ya doing lol?” wrote Tekashi, who accented the question with an upside-down smiley face and heart emojis.
“this you @6ix9ine” Nas X asked in the caption of his post.
It’s the background dancing that really does it for us:
@lilnasx this you @6ix9ine

You can’t even be mad at Lil Nas X for semi “outing” him. Tekashi has indulged rape culture in his lyrics and is known to hit on underage girls. While it’s just dumb as hell to try and throw homophobic shade at someone when you were in their DM’s, coming off thirsty. So dumb.
Some of these DL and closeted guys are a mess. Some of these dudes who contend with fluidity, paraphiliacs, dimensions or contractions as far as the gender, romantic, sexual, affection, emotional investment, commitment spectrum- they really do fit the stereotypes and are problematic and insecure as hell. All you had to do was keep quiet, but you just couldn’t help throwing a gay joke his way (probably because he had no interests in meeting up with u). This type of shit is partly why my fascination with “straight”, DL or closeted guys died down quickly when I hit 30.

Fake news.
I wouldn’t out someone but I think homophobia and incurable diseases are grounds for outting. They’re both like evidence in a court case.

Was the news fake?

Tekashi is probably used to being someone’s bottom boy in prison. Tekashi is lucky to be alive considering his questionable affiliations. You’d think someone like that would hold a low profile. Nikki Minaj’s ass looks weird in FeFe.

I don’t get where anyone was outed here.

So, a guy (6ix9ine) has two daughters, was imprisoned for having sex with a 13 yo girl, yet gets into Nas’ DM and asks him on a date. hmmmm.

Woodroad34, I don’t get what you’re trying to say. But having kids don’t have anything to do with getting it on with your sex. I’m surprised some people still use kids or having a wife or gf to support a guy’s heterosexuality. This is 2021. We can’t still be this naive. Hell, my brother (who is currently married to a cis woman) went to prison for hooking up with underage guys and girls, briefly dated a trans woman and was getting it on with his male best friend throughout his twenties.
People still have a hard time understanding that everyone’s sexuality is unique to them. Some people experience fluidity, contradictions or paraphiliacs. And the gender, romantic, sexual, affection, emotional, commitment spectrum is wide and varied.
We can’t say for sure that the DMs were about wanting to “hook up”. But it’s not that difficult to read between those lines. Furthermore, even if that wasn’t his intention, he still made an unnecessary homophobic joke about someone whose DMs he was in. It was just a dumb thing to do. But add that to the long list of dumb things that guy has indulged.

What on earth is a DM?

Never mind. Direct Message.
