Lil nas x gay billy ray cyrus full#
Like so many of us who cling onto the enveloping faux-safety of the closet, when we are finally let out we go full gay and Lil Nas X certainly did that. One aspect of Lil Nas X that received rather less publicity was the fact that he is gay and he came out in June 2019 despite saying that he felt like he never wanted to. As of January this year, Old Town Road had set a record as ‘the highest certified song ever by the RIAA with 14-times platinum status in the United States, meaning it accumulated 14 million in equivalent song units’.Īt time of writing, Old Town Road has over 700 million views on You Tube and while it’s not particularly controversial, it drew some attention due to the fact that the genre was described as ‘country trap’ with Lil Nas X doing a touch of line dancing dressed a s cowboy.Ĭhannel pure Brokeback Mountain in Old Town Road (Pic: YouTube) The song went to number one all around the world, also winning awards by the bucket load. The track is a slow jam of a record that sat atop the Billboard Hot 100 charts for an immensely long period, record breaking run of nineteen weeks.
