When not trolling fans and detractors on social media, Lil Nas X is making headlines for ruffling the feathers of less-than-liberal-leaning viewers who express outrage over the content of his risqué music videos and stage performances.

And though he takes the attention in stride (as recently revealed via his recent eye-popping feature in ‘Variety’), the openly gay music star also uses his platform for educational purposes – not only raising his voice to teach those outside the gay community but those within it as well.

Azealia Banks had a lot to get off her chest when it comes to headlines surrounding the LGBTQ community.

Specifically, Boosie‘s shocking homophobic comments about Lil Nas X and the drama engulfing Dave Chappelle over his remarks about transgender people.

Frustrated and disgusted, the ‘212’ femcee took to social media to vent – and she did not hold back.

She lambasted both men and schooled in earnest about what she deems “violent rhetoric” rooted in homophobia and transphobia.

Banks’ words await after the jump…

‘Zoom’ rapper Boosie Badazz is no stranger to zooming to the top of Twitter’s trending tally for problematic statements about women, the LGBTQ+ community, and more.

In the past, he’s faced backlash for slamming modern day cartoons for ‘making kids gay,’ openly criticizing basketball star Dwyane Wade for ‘allowing’ his daughter, Zaya, to come out as transgender, and so much more.

Now, he’s ruffling feathers again – this time in defense of his ‘Period‘ co-star DaBaby.  Look inside to see what he’s said that has people up-in-arms.

Though legions of viewers took to social media to express their concern over the content of Lil Nas X‘s ‘Call Me By Your Name’ performance at the 2021 BET Awards (which made headlines for featuring a same-sex smooch), Rap media mogul-turned-reality TV star Benzino set the Internet ablaze when he not only suggested the showing wasn’t safe for kids to watch but even went as far as to brand it as ‘satanic’ and ‘irresponsible.’

“That sh*t BET pulled was lame as fuck. It was too uncomfortable, too irresponsible, too forced and too irrelevant to the awards,” he said. “Homie ain’t even hot like that for music anymore anyway. It’s a shame what all this is coming too. I wish I has the backing to bring the Source Awards back.” 

Earning an unceremonious slamming for his now-deleted comments (deemed homophobic by many), word got back to LNX who re-tweeted a story about the 55-year-old’s criticism and said:

“I’m sorry but the thought of n*ggas sitting their kids down in the living room and telling them gay people exist is so hilarious to me,” Lil Nas X wrote in the tweet.

As the backlash against Benzino continued days after the BET Awards, he took to ‘Black News Tonight’ to elaborate with resident anchor Marc Lamont Hill about his true feelings on the controversy.

Look inside to see what he said.

It’s been days since Lil Nas X took to the BET Awards stage to perform his controversial hit ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ yet the 22-year-old’s name remains the event’s most mentioned.

While some have praised the GRAMMY winner for his brazen performance, which included a Michael Jackson tribute and same-sex smooch, others – like rapper/producer-turned-reality star Benzino – believe LNX’s showing was too hot for TV.

Taking to social media recently, the 55-year-old waxed honest about his thoughts on the spectacle – going as far as labeling it ‘satanic.’  Needless to say, his commentary ignited quite the hoopla.

Rapper Joyner Lucas is the latest name to weigh-in on Lil Nas X‘s controversial video for his new single ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name).’

In the cinematic clip, the 21-year-old is depicted as being cast out of heaven and sliding down a pole straight to hell where he’s shown twerking on Satan.

Following the likes of a Jagged Edge star, Candace Owens, and more, Lucas has voiced displeasure over the visual.

And he’s made clear that his gripe centers on the supposed impact on the youth.

Efforts to sabotage Lil Nas’ career have intensified this week…and he may have given his enemies the ammunition they need to do it.

Just leave Lil’ Nas X alone. He hasn’t done anything wrong. Always trying to bring a brotha down. Jealous MFs. #LilNasXIsOverParty

A tangled web waits below…

So, we’re exposing Lil Nas X by pointing out connections to a twitter account he probably doesn’t use anymore, posting screenshots of islamophobic tweets he supposedly made, and use screenshots to out him as secretly gay? After he tweeted he deserved the hate? Ok. Childish but ok pic.twitter.com/yfxzHwtYte

Another day, another Azealia Banks rant aimed at her peers.

Despite recently announcing she has new music loading for 2025, Banks – instead of promoting the eagerly anticipated cut – is using her platform to cut into her more successful fellow femcees.

(more…)

Azealia Banks sent her dedicated fans into a frenzy in early October when she not only teased new music but declared she had “finally outdone” one of her most commercially successful singles to date: 2011’s ‘212.’

And while she spoke rather ambiguously about the forthcoming song at the time of her self-praise session, Banks took to X (formerly known as Twitter) before the month closed to confirm the new music is coming sooner that some may think.
