In an interview with The Guardian, Lil Nas X said that he never planned on coming out of the closet. He explained, “The honest truth is, I planned to die with the secret. But that changed when I became Lil Nas X.”
On coming out to his family, he said, “My family knows now. But it’s not something that’s ever brought up or we speak about. We’re quiet on it. Nobody’s like, ‘Oh, you got a boyfriend?”
He continued, “I don’t want my love life to be something we never talk about. Because what about the kids in my family? I would like it to be a healthy medium between, ‘Who are you f*cking?’ and just not saying anything.”
