Lil Nas X is speaking out on the difficult relationship he's had with the BET Awards in recent years.

June 27, 2022 The response we got back was, We need to clarify a few things, the anonymous team member told RS. Is he a Satanist? Are there going to be elements of devil worship or satan in the show? I was so taken aback by it. Wed been fielding those questions from people for months by that point after the video and the shoes, and of course the answer was no and we obviously got the slot. But it blew our minds. They say that no one cheered louder for me than them that night, Lil Nas X added, but the BET Awards team was actually very upset that I kissed my dancer onstage and vocalized their discontent with multiple members of my team immediately following the performance. BET responded to Rolling Stones request for comment, and claimed they are, passionate advocates for the wonderful diversity that exists within our community. We are committed to using all of our platforms to provide visibility and inclusion for all of the many intersections of the Black community. Check out the Late To Da Party music video below.
