Lil Nas X Comes Out as a Father

In a surprise announcement, rapper Lil Nas X has revealed that he is a father. The news was shared on Twitter, where the singer posted an image of himself with his son and captioned it “Father of one.” The post quickly went viral, garnering over 200,000 likes and more than 50,000 retweets in just a few hours. Fans were quick to express their support for the star, with many praising him for being open about his new role as a parent. Lil Nas X first rose to fame in 2019 when his song “Old Town Road” became an international hit. Since then, he has released several other songs and collaborated with other artists such as Cardi B and Billy Ray Cyrus. He has also won multiple awards including two Grammy Awards and four American Music Awards. The news of Lil Nas X becoming a father comes after the singer recently came out as gay last year in June 2020 via Twitter. In the tweet he wrote “Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more [sic]. But before this month ends I want y’all to listen closely to c7osure [sic].” C7osure is one of the tracks from his EP 7 which was released later that month and featured lyrics about embracing his sexuality. It is unclear who the mother of Lil Nas X's son is or how old he is but fans are excited to see what kind of music he will make now that he's become a father. It will be interesting to see how this new chapter in his life will influence his artistry going forward.
