While 2021 demonstrated that Lil Nas X isn’t shy about shocking viewers with racy antics on and off stage, a recent interview will draw surprise for a different reason.
The notorious social media ‘troll,’ who has used the platform to springboard himself into one of modern music’s most talked about careers, showed his vulnerable side when he sat down with ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ correspondent Tracy Smith on a segment that aired Sunday (January 2).
Defining his gargantuan success of last year as a ‘transformation,’ the ‘Old Town Road’ star (born Montero Hill) dished openly about his bumpy road to success – which included poverty, not being close to his parents (including a mother battling substance addiction), loneliness, hiding his sexuality, and more.
Dishing on these topics and more, look inside to see Hill show the man behind the music like never before.
