Lil Nas X used to dream of becoming a famous rapper when he was in college. After graduating from college, he began to create and share his music on various online singing platforms. He researched a lot on singing and found that country-trap mixes are popular.
So he purchased a beat with 30 dollars online and made his first ever super hit song Old Town Road which is also a piece of country-trap music. It brought him fame over night.
At the beginning of his career, everyone thought the singer was straight. But what’s Lil Nas X’s real sexuality? Here we have revealed his sexual orientation.

When The Guardian took his interview, the singer shared everything, including how he used to feel being gay but not letting anybody know. He told the host that it was pretty hesitant for him to act straight while he knew he was a homosexual.
