Over his short but storied career, Lil Nas X has not been shy about his admiration of Rap Queen Nicki Minaj.
A proud and celebrated #Barb (the name of Minaj’s fan base), LNX has actively participated in forums and threads that support the femcee – and even dressed as the ‘Super Bass’ star for Halloween 2020.
As attention is drawn to the 22-year-old’s latest music video, ‘Sun Goes Down’ (click here to watch), some of his fellow #Barbz have begun accusing him of using Nicki’s name for clout – particularly a scene in the clip where he reflected on his time as his younger self being a Barb before launching his music career.
So many of the discouraging messages landed on his desk, he took to Twitter to announce he will no longer publicly support his fave.
Taking to Twitter Friday (May 21), LNX responded to hateful messages from some #Barbz by saying:
“To the barbz who feel i’m using nicki’s name for attention, the song i released last night was recorded last year. and it’s about my life which 6 of those years were dedicated to nicki. it’s no fake love,” wrote the rapper on Twitter. “But i understand how it looks so i will no longer mention her.”
His announcement spurred a bevy of support from #Barbz who wished he would continue honoring the Queen. Even the official Young Money account chimed in and said:
“Nah ignore em.”
Probably the most annoying fan base ever! They outdo the beehive back in the day lol jeez!
They are the worse most arrogant fan base no wonder she has no solo number 1 singles or a Grammy Judy nasty
His new song taking off slow without controversy it’s only at 2 million views in 10
Hours guess next single he will sell controversy again cause this song a flop also moving slow on iTunes
Yaaaaaaaaaas!!! 🤣
lol 😂
Low-key glad it’s flopping. unsubscribed right after CMBYN premiered
See that’s what happens when u use ur sexuality and the controversy surrounding it to sell records he would’ve been a one hit wonder had he not come out before panini
Yo did he sample Iann Dior – Holding On?? I’m confused. The songs sound almost identical lol 😂😂
All he does is copy and bite off of others 😬
So how quickly did Nas X rack up two #1 hits?
How long did it take Nicki?
Who holds the record for the song with the most weeks at #1?
Who acts overtly sexual and trashy: Both of them.
They’re both demonic.
