Musician Lil Nas X lashed out on social media against people who have been sending him homophobic messages since he came out.
Chart-topping rapper Lil Nas X came out in a set of tweets earlier this week. While most of the public responses have been positive, it doesn’t take much searching to find negative comments.
Like this one that mentions the Bible.
