While many are donating to bail funds across the nation to help protestors who've been arrested while fighting for justice, others are taking the time to list off all these celebrities who donated just to call them out for supposedly doing something wrong. Fox News' Tucker Carlson hopped on the airwaves with this sort of compiled list of celebrities in an attempt to seemingly "out" them for helping "rioters and looters."

After naming off companies that have donated to Black Lives Matter, he indicates that “it isn’t just major corporations that are fuelling all of this—celebrities are too, by paying to get violent rioters out of jail.” He then begins naming some of the famous folks who have given money to help bail out protesters, convincing himself that this is a bad thing.

These politically charged times have people on edge, and some things that would have been seen as playful quips on social media are being treated much more seriously. We continue to watch as protests unfold in cities across America—most recently in Washington, D.C. as people have begun to chant outside of the White House—and on Friday (May 29), Lil Nas X tweeted a simple joke that some people found offensive.

"What y'all wearing to the civil war," Lil Nas X wrote. There were quite a few people who didn't think his joke was funny, and they let the young artist know just how much they disapproved of his tweet. In turn, Lil Nas X took on a more serious tone when he issued his apology. "I am sorry for not using my platform to speak up more on the situation. i honestly feel as though it has become so normalized that even i myself am numb to police brutality towards black people. i hope this time around something changes."

Lil Nas X also shared a link to a Change.org petition calling for "Justice for George Floyd." Out of 6,000,000 signatures requested, there are over 5,900,000 signees. "I won’t pretend it isn’t happening tho," the rapper added. Check out his tweets below and let us know if you think people overreacted.

Lil Nas X and Elmo: the crossover you never knew you needed. During an episode of the Muppet’s new talk show, The Not-So-Late Show with Elmo on HBO Max, Lil Nas X and Elmo performed the host’s famous theme song, “Elmo’s Song,” together. Lil Nas was introduced by the Cookie Monster as the episode’s musical guest, at which point the country-rapper and Elmo broke out into song. However, Elmo suggested that they switched it up by turning his anthem into Lil Nas’ anthem. The two of them then proceeded to sing “Lil Nas X” song, replacing Elmo’s name while keeping the same simplistic lyrics as the original.

Lil Nas posted a clip of the performance on Instagram, indicating that the “streets needed this.”

The Not-So-Late Show with Elmo debuted on the freshly-launched streaming service, HBO Max, on Wednesday (May 27th). The Sesame Street spin-off is the children’s franchise’s take on the late night talk show format. The beloved red Muppet serves as host, while plenty of his fellow SS co-stars serve as crew members both on and off the stage. Future special guests include fellow late night host, Jimmy Fallon, Ciara, H.E.R., and more.

Lil Nas X is seemingly having trouble coming to terms with who he is. The viral superstar came out as a gay man last year, making the announcement on Twitter. 

"Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more," he wrote before revealing his sexuality. 

Well, it turns out that he may no longer identify as homosexual. This week, he took to social media to revert back to his old ways, revealing that he is giving heterosexuality a chance.

Tekashi 6ix9ine is officially back and he’s still doing crazy numbers. His live-stream was delayed by a half-hour but once he logged on, he shattered the record for most viewers on Instagram Live, getting 2 million people on the same page. Calling himself a legend at the age of 24, 6ix9ine clearly never lost his confidence. 

While the comments have been moving like crazy, one stood out in particular. As Tekashi showed off his brand new jewelry and his old chains, Lil Nas X slid in to give the man a compliment and possibly shoot his shot.

“No homo he looking kinda cute,” wrote the country-rapper.

A troll himself, it’s not all too surprising to see Lil Nas X pop up in the comments. Maybe the two will be collaborating sometime in the future?

Today is a huge day for 6ix9ine, who released his return single “GOOBA” alongside an accompanying video. He has already broken records with his return, hitting over five million views on YouTube in under an hour and completely destroying the previous IG Live record set by Tory Lanez.

Are you happy that he’s back? Check out Lil Nas X’s comment below and let us know what you think.

Ever since his rise to the top of the charts with "Old Town Road," viral superstar Lil Nas X has been rumored to be the owner of a former Nicki Minaj fan account, operating @NasMaraj on Twitter. He has denied that fact but now, it seems like he's finally come to terms with his preferences, finally being comfortable enough in his own skin and telling the world that he is a Nicki Minaj stan.

Taking to Twitter in the middle of the night, Lil Nas X admitted that he is a big fan of the Queens rapper.

After it was revealed by Forbes magazine that Kanye West's Yeezy brand has officially made him a billionaire, Lil Nas X teased that he was also among this elite group of excessively wealthy folks by welcoming Ye "to the club." It's not everyday that somebody becomes a billionaire, so when someone as high profile as Kanye West hits that milestone, you're sure to hear about it. On Friday, Forbes broke the news that Kanye is now, in fact, a billionaire, due largely to the success of his Yeezy sales.

Fellow music artist Lil Nas X caught wind of this major news, and decided to congratulate Kanye over social media with a little comedy bit. He took to Twitter to officially welcome Kanye "to the club," seemingly implying that he, at 21-years-old with a virtually newborn music career, was also a billionaire.

His coming out story was one for the history books as there aren’t many chart-topping, record-breaking rappers who openly admit to being homosexual. As much as Lil Nas X has relished in being an icon for others who share similar obstacles, the young rapper revealed that “coming out” wasn’t apart of his plans. “The honest truth is, I planned to die with the secret,” he shared with The Guardian. “But that changed when I became Lil Nas X.”

The are other LGBTQIA+ artists out there who openly write lyrics about their sexuality including Kevin Abstract and Frank Ocean, but Lil Nas X hasn’t yet entered that sphere in his artistry. “I 100 [percent] want to represent the LGBT community,” he told the publication. Yet, just because he shared his private life with the world doesn’t mean he encourages everyone to take that step. Coming out can be difficult, and Lil Nas X recognizes that not everyone’s family is accepting.

“I don’t want to encourage them to do something they don’t 100 [percent] want to do. Especially in, like, middle school or high school. Because it’s just super hard,” he said. Even with the fame and notoriety, the rapper admits to still struggling with discussing his personal life with his loved ones. “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?’”

It seemed as if Lil Nas X stole the show on Friday (April 3), but not because of anything related to his music career. The young star took over 2019 with "Old Town Road" and recently he grabbed attention once again with a series of photos. Lil Nas X is shown in pastel colors, adorned with flowers, or wearing a corset for his Guardian Weekend magazine's photoshoot, and there were plenty of people who had something to say about the pictures. Akademiks didn't skip a beat at sharing his thoughts which included a mention of Young Thug.

Akademiks retweeted the four images and added his own caption. "Young Thug walked so Lil Nas X could run," he wrote, referencing Thugger's Alessandro Trincone dress that he wore on the cover of his 2016 mixtape Jeffrey. Some believed Akademiks was taking a jab at Lil Nas X's sexuality, although the social commentator didn't actually say anything about the rapper about being gay or effeminate.

However, Lil Nas X can not only take a joke, but he can deliver them, as well. He retweeted Akademiks with a quip of his own. "Just say i look cute bro u don’t gotta do all this," Lil Nas X replied. Check out the photos and the brief exchange between the two below.

April Fool's Day 2020 has justifiably been canceled this year because, well, nothing can top what we've already lived through during these last three months. The entire year has basically been a complete joke, complete with a literal global pandemic popping off in the last few weeks. If you were planning on pranking your friends and family today, it might be a good idea to reconsider. We're all going through a lot and dealing with this situation differently. Twitter jokes are welcome, however, and the king of said internet activity just reigned supreme once again.

Lil Nas X has been celebrated for the way he connects with his fans online, engaging in ridiculous amounts of banter with his followers and quickly becoming one of the most relatable celebrities on the planet. Much like the rest of us, the 20-year-old recording artist is in self-quarantine but he wasn't about to let a pandemic ruin his months-long preparation for April Fool's Day. He rang off his prank successfully this morning.

"I was never gay. i said it to build up fuel for aprils fools day. ha got u guys," wrote LNX on Twitter, joking about his coming-out moment last year. It took him all of thirteen minutes to reveal he was capping.

"Where the hoes at," he added before bouncing back to his real life. "Ok i’m gay again," he wrote.

Do you think Lil Nas X has April Fool's Day on lock? Can/will anyone out-perform him?
