While Lil Nas X continues to find success in his musical endeavors, the hitmaker isn’t immune from scrutiny. In fact, he’s far from it. The Georgia-born performer frequently finds himself at the center of controversy for his outward displays of sexuality, polarizing song lyrics, and more. Just recently, for example, he unveiled a snippet of an upcoming track in which he recalls some of his early sexual experiences. As expected, it had most listeners up in arms, though a few did come to his defense.
According to Lil Nas X, concerns that his music won’t do well tend to hold him back, and even prevent him from releasing it altogether. Earlier this week, he took to Instagram to vent to his followers, also unveiling a few new snippets. He described being frustrated over these fears and expressed wishes to simply stop caring so much.
