Lil Nas X Covers GQ Style

(Call Me By Your Name)” rapper graced the cover of upcoming issue of the British edition of GQ Style. Lil Nas X spoke to the magazine about learning about his sexuality, growing up in a religious household and his rise to becoming an LGBT+ and music icon.

“The night before it came out, I was in my shower. I was like, ‘Oh god, I feel like I’m making a really bad decision,” he says, burying his face in his hands. “I was just like...what’s happening?”
