Troll Gawd Lil Nas X Links Up With Tony Hawk To Show There Is No Bad Blood Between Them

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Rich Fury / Getty Social media extraordinaire Lil Nas X and the skateboard legend Tony Hawk are totally cool with each other. Last week Lil Nas X cried foul after Tony Hawk’s blood-painted skateboard he partnered with Liquid Death on sold out without an ounce of outrage he experienced after he unveiled his “Satan Shoes” collaboration with MSCHF. In a tweet, Nas X made a very keen observation, asking, “are y’all ready to admit y’all were never actually upset over the blood in the shoes? and maybe u were mad for some other reason?” Lil Nas X also hopped in the comment section of @raps’ post on Instagram about the situation that asking followers, “Yall rockin with it!?” saying.

Lil Nas X Cries Foul After Tony Hawk Skateboard Painted With His Blood Sells Out With No Outrage

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MSCHF / MSCHF Lil Nas X has an excellent case here when it comes to the outrage on the internet. In March, conservative snowflakes and so-called bible thumpers were up in arms when Lil Nas X announced he was teaming up with MSCHF for a pair of limited edition Nike Air Max 97 sneakers dubbed the “Satan Shoes,” that contained a drop of blood in the air unit. Nike would eventually take the openly gay artist and MSCHF to court, slapping them with a hypocritical lawsuit, and the judge sided with the sport’s apparel company forcing them to buy back all pairs of the kicks. At the time, everyone spotted the jig because MSCHF sold a pair of the same sneakers but in white, calling them the “Jesus Shoes” because they shared a drop of holy water in the air unit. Ther...

Lil Nas X Trolls Boosie’s Bitter Homophobic Rant on ‘The Breakfast Club’

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: The Breakfast Club / Power 105 At some point, people will learn that Lil Nas X is undefeated at giving his haters the business, especially if you say something homophobic. The latest example of that came after Boosie Badazz’s appearance on The Breakfast Club. In an interview on the popular morning talk show Monday morning (August 23), Boosie doubled down on his previous stance against the LGBTQ+ community and put Lil Nas X on blast as he was defending DaBaby for his controversial and homophobic remarks during his set at RollingLoud Miami. In an Instagram post, he said: “Lil Nas X said he wanna perform naked on stage for charity. You don’t f– with him like you f– with DaBaby. Be even-sided. You don’t feel that’s disrespect? Going dance naked. You don’t thi...

We Love To See It: Taco Bell Appoints Lil Nas X As Its Chief Impact Officer As Part of New Partnership

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Lil Nas X continues to secure the bag while his haters can’t keep his name out of their mouths. Once thought to be a sure-fire one-hit wonder, Lil Nas X easily proved that “Old Town Road” and the subsequent even more infectious remix would not be his only 15-minutes of fame. The rapper has since followed that up with multiple hit singles that not only climbed the charts but also cleverly trolled ashy homophobes like Boosie, who feel he is some sort of an “industry plant.” Keeping the winning streak going, fast-food chain Taco Bell announced via a press release a new partnership with the 22-year-old artist that would make the first “Chief Impact Officer.” Lil Nas X, who used to work at the fast-food chain, confirmed his ne...

Lil Nas X Addresses Concerns For His Safety In Interview

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz For Lil Nas X, being unapologetic about being a highly visible rapper who’s gay is the banner of truth he walks with. But that doesn’t mean that he’s unaware about how much that makes him a target for hateful behavior and worse. The “Old Town Road” rapper was recently the main cover star for Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood issue. As part of that feature, he sat down for an interview. When asked for his take on the homophobic comments that DaBaby made during his set at Rolling Loud in Miami a couple of weeks ago along with his thoughts about HIV and AIDS in the LGBTQ+ community, Lil Nas X declined to make a comment directly about that situation. “The honest truth is, I don’t want to speak on a lot of the homophobia within...

Lil Nas X Responds To DaBaby’s Homophobic Comments

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz DaBaby’s rant at Rolling Loud Miami has got everyone feeling in a way; regardless of their sexuality. Lil Nas X has commented on the matter and clearly he had time. DaBaby got himself in front of the line at the cancel culture review board when he talked reckless in between his set last week. “If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up. Ladies, if your p***y smell like water, put your cellphone light in the air. “Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d*** in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up” he said. Shortly after T.I. released a video co-signing the DaBaby’s message and naturally upset e...
