Rapper Lil Nas X came out as part of the LGBTQ community on the last day of Pride month.

“Some of yā€™all already know, some of yā€™all donā€™t care, some of yā€™all not gone fwm no more. but before this month ends i want yā€™all to listen closely to ‘c7osure’,” Lil Nas X wrote on Twitter along with a clip from his song “C7osure” and a rainbow emoji.

“True say/ I want and I need/ To let go/ Use my time to be free/ It’s like it’s always what you like/ It’s always what you like/ Why it’s always what you like?/ It’s always what you like, huh/ Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow/ No more red light for me, baby, only green, I gotta go/ Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take a hold/ This is what I gotta do, can’t be regretting when I’m old,” the song’s lyrics read.

Lil Nas X also tweeted out his album’s cover art which features the colors of the rainbow displayed on a building.

“Deadass thought i made it obvious,” he tweeted.

The 20-year-old is best known for his breakout hit song “Old Town Road” with Billy Ray Cyrus. The song, which Lil Nas X describes as “country-trap,ā€ is the longest running number one song of 2019.
