Lil Nas X performed at the BET Awards on June 27 and took the crowd by surprise at the end of his performance.
The rapper sang “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” at the awards show and ended the performance by kissing one of his male dancers. The performance was ancient Egyptian-themed – Nas wore shining gold clothes, which resembled a pharaoh. He was surrounded by a group of male dancers, in honor of Michael Jackson’s 1991 “Remember the Time” music video. Nas included the chorus of Jackson’s song at the end of his set.
The rapper came out publicly through Twitter on June 30, 2019. He told his followers and fans to listen to the lyrics of his song “C7osure.”
