Enough already!
Lil Nas X has had it with homophobic haters, clapping back at a series of comments made about his new Industry Baby music video, which features the artist breaking out of jail alongside collaborator Jack Harlow (inset) — but not before dancing nude with a bunch of other men in a sexy prison shower scene, of course!

If you haven’t seen the particular controversial vid, watch it (below)!
It’ s not even all that pushed compared to what other musicians have been releasing in years past! But many thought differently.
One hater claimed the musician “isn’t fighting for gay rights, ” explaining:
“He’s marketing the sexual irresponsibility that’s causing young men to die from AIDS. Being gay is one thing, but being a super spreader is another. There’s nothing healthy or helpful about that video. Especially for children. ”
Yeesh .
Of course, if a straight artist is celebrating their sexuality, it’ s hot or even inspirational. When a gay one does, here comes typically the AIDS talk. Ick.
And since when did the pop star have to promote “ healthy and helpful” information to children?! No straight artists are being held to that kind of standard! Perhaps this particular listener should stick to Kidz Bop ? Just saying!
The Old Town Road sensation himself fired back at that particular “ critic” on Sunday, saying:
“ Y’ all be silent as hell when n****** dedicate their entire music catalogue to rapping about sleeping with multiple women. But when I do anything remotely sexual I’m ‘being sexually irresponsible’ & ‘causing more men to die from aids’”
He finished this troll off by saying:
“ y’all hate gay ppl and don’t hide it”
But the controversy didn’t stop there. On Monday, after People shared an article discussing the “criticism” the 22-year-old has received for the video, he called out the outlet’ s headline, arguing:
“ criticism is ‘this song will be not good’ not someone stating ‘you are the reason people are getting aids’: /”
He also added:
“ y’all know exactly what you’re doing with this caption: /”
Damn! He has a new point there. Words matter, especially with unfair accusations like that! Don’ t want to give credit to hysterical homophobia just because it’ s ever-so-thinly veiled!
Sadly, this isn’t often the first time the Georgia native has had to defend himself against homophobia. Ever since this individual released his hit Montero in March — with another eye-catching music video that saw the performer slide down a stripper pole from heaven after being kicked out for being gay, only to give Satan a lap dance — the star has faced major backlash for expressing his sexuality in his art.

Just last month, the singer faced backlash after he kissed a male dancer on stage during a performance at the BET Awards . Something that will was deemed too inappropriate and “sexual” for a general audience — despite DOZENS of straight celebs kissing each other upon live TV in the past. We’re looking at you, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello !
Clapping back at those who were “uncomfortable” with the performance, the avid social media user tweeted:
“Y’ all hate yourselves so much. Y’ all live your lives trying your best to appease straight ppl. Y’ all are uncomfortable with what i do due to the fact y’ all are afraid they will be uncomfortable with you. Work on yourselves, I love who I am and whatever I decide to do. Get there. ”
Yaaas! We stan his unwavering sense associated with self in the face regarding this disgusting bigotry! Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Do you love your way Lil Nas X is usually fighting back against hypocritical haters or think there’ s some sort of better way to get his message across? Sound OFF in the comments (below)!
