Lil Nas X is getting angry at BET for not even nominating him for their awards. He later adds on that they are being homophobic and racist for not nominating him for this.
Lil Nas X says that him and BET have a strained relationship due to a question asked by a member of BET, on whether a song that he was about to perform was not going to include satanic or demonic worship. Lil Nas X reports feeling offended by this, stating that they would think a show he was about to perform was going to showcase Satanic worship. Another time, Lil Nas X kissed a male background dancer on stage, with BET later telling him while offstage that they felt taken advantage of by doing such an act.
Lil Nas X also teased a new song which was all about hating on BET, with other people asking why he would go to such lengths just to showcase his hate for BET for such petty reasons. He responded with a tweet that he wasn’t truly disappointed about the lack of nominations, but that BET had refused to nominate him as he was a gay black man. BET responded to this that they were his biggest fans and that they cheered the loudest during a performance of his.
However, Lil Nas X accuses BET of reacting quite differently behind the scenes. They supposedly showed strong criticism about his shows, specifically because he kissed a male dancer on stage, also bringing it up to several members of his own team. As of such, Lil Nas X feels that he ought to have been nominated and that BET is being homophobic and racist about this issue, and he also says he is willing to speak up about all of these injustices for those too scared to. Other artists say that Lil Nas X has done so much that he should have been nominated and that he is truly deserving of this.
