Lil Nas X has proven himself more than a “one-hit wonder” time and time again. Since his return to the spotlight earlier this year, he’s released hit songs like “Holiday” and the controversial “MONTERO.” Not to mention, he released an album of the same name a few months ago. Clearly, the rapper is here to stay. Though, he’s doing more than just releasing great content. He’s also paving the way for other gay and transgender artists in the music industry.
The Rapper Says More Gay and Transgender Rappers Will Hit the Music Industry
During a recent interview with GQ, the “SCOOP” rapper predicted that the hip-hop industry will change its “homophobic” attitudes within the next decade. Furthermore, Lil Nas X believes the rap scene will open its doors to more gay and transgender rappers in the future.
“In the future, there will be many gay rappers and more transgender individuals in the industry. What I’m doing now won’t even be considered shocking,” the rapper stated in the interview.
With LGBTQ+ stars like Da Brat, ILoveMakonnen, Kevin Abstract and Frank Ocean already in the industry, the change for a better future has already begun.

Additionally, he celebrated his victory, alongside other honorees Tom Holland and Giannis Antetokounmpo, at The West Hollywood EDITION of GQ’s annual “Man of The Year Party.” Moreover, Lil Nas X showed up to the party flashing his hard abs in an unbuttoned black and white, bedazzled ensemble.
