Lil Nas X hits back at fans criticising him for kissing male dancer on stage
Briefly News previously reported that rapper Lil Nas responded to bashing following his electrifying performance on BET Awards on Sunday, June 27, that went viral.
The artiste made a statement not only on the red carpet but also the main event when he kissed a male dancer while performing. As reported by CNN, the rapper had already made a statement by showing up on the red carpet dressed in a huge blue and white gown that stole the show.
The rapper did one better with a performance that paid homage to late singer Michael Jackson with an Egyptian themed show to his song Montero (Call Me By Your Name).
At the end of the performance, Lil Nas and one of the male dancers got intimate as they shared a passionate kiss that was applauded by the audience, with some giving him a standing ovation.
