Hired country star Billy Ray Cyrus to make a remix
Lil Nas X has been going through a busy schedule for a year. After “Old Town Road” was controversially removed from Billboard’s Hot Country chart in April, the rapper hired country star Billy Ray Cyrus to make a remix, and the revamped version went viral on the internet. The remix then impacted the world forever by turning into the longest-running number 1 single to ever top the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, and Lil Nas X released considerably more remixes with BTS member RM, Young Thug and Mason Ramsey, and even an Area 51 raid version. The rapper also gave up his first EP 7 in June and performed at the MTV Video Music Awards last month.
Nominated in eight different classifications
"Old Town Road" won song of the year at the awards ceremony. Lil Nas X was nominated in eight different classifications including video of the year and song of summer. Earlier this week, the rapper who came out as gay at the end of Pride Month in June admitted that he is sort of in a relationship during an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He was asked about whether he was seeing someone and he replied to it by saying somewhat, somewhat before letting out a laugh.
