Lil Nas X puts BET beef in song on new single

completemusicupdate.com:

Lil Nas X has immortalised his ongoing beef with the BET Awards on new single ‘Late To Da Party’, opening the track with a chant of “fuck BET”.The new song, which also features Youngboy Never Broke Again, doesn’t specifically lay into BET any further, although the lyrics do assure everyone listening that Lil Nas X doesn’t need anyone’s help to make money.

So that’s good.This year’s BET Awards are set to take place in LA this Sunday and – as he has been teasing this new track on social media in recent weeks – the rapper has been taking aim at the ceremony due to his lack of nominations.Insisting that his complaint is not simply sour grapes, he wrote on Twitter earlier this month: “This [is] not over no BET Award, this is about the bigger problem of homophobia in the black community.

Y’all can sit and pretend all you want but imma risk it all for us”.“I just feel like black gay people have to fight to be seen in this world and even when we make it to the top MFs try to pretend we are invisible”, he added.Nas has received one BET nomination during his career so far, picking up a Best New Artist nod in 2020.

He has also performed at the BET Awards show in the past, including a performance of his song ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ last year.Since then, he’s released his debut album ‘Montero’, which you might have thought would make him a shoo-in for at least one nomination this year.
