Lil Nas X opens up about his sexuality on World Pride Day

Rapper Lil Nas X opened up on social media during World Pride Day to tell his fans that he is a member of the LGBTQ community.

The artist released his new EP '7' earlier this month which includes the track 'C7osure' - a song which Lil Nas X asked his fans to listen to "very closely" on the last day of Pride Month.

One stanza in the lyrics read: "Ain't no more actin', man that forecast say I should just let me grow. No more red light for me, baby, only green, I gotta go. Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take a hold. This is what I gotta do, can't be regretting when I'm old."

The artist, whose fame reached incredible heights following the release of the hit song 'Old Town Road', admitted in a follow-up tweet: "Deadass, I thought I made it obvious."
