Lil Nas X 'Accidentally' Fell In Love With A Protester At His Concert After Offering Them Pizza: 'This Is Really Good Promo!'

In one of his stops for the Long Live Montero Tour, Lil Nas X encountered a group of protesters outside the MGM Music Hall at Fenway. They were wearing Christian-themed shirts and holding up signs.

A fan took a video of the protesters and tweeted it, "Christians are reportedly protesting outside of Lil Nas X's Boston, Massachusetts show during the Long Live Montero Tour."

Lil Nas X caught wind of it, and quoted the tweet, saying "just told my team to send them pizza, this is really good promo!" The easy-going rapper added an update later on when his team already offered the group of protesters the pizza, along with a video: "They didn't want the pizza but I accidentally fell in love with one of the homophobic protestors."

Is it Love?

Following his tweet about "accidentally" falling in love with one of the protesters, fans went to Twitter to support the rapper's jest.

A fan replied, "you can change him. [You] got this bestie."

Another fan replied, "suddenly, I agree with him." And Lil Nas X added, "yeah, they kinda have a point," with a heart eyes emoji.

And the jests did not end there, because Lil Nas X tweeted about the protester again, "Can't stop thinking about the cute homophobic guy that was protesting my concert last night. I just know we had a connection. I miss him so much, man. I'm nothing without him."

The 23-year-old rapper was born Montero Lamar Hill, has openly admitted that he is queer on several occasions, most notably in one of his smash hit songs, "Industry Baby," featuring Jack Harlow, when he sang "I don't f**k b***h, I'm queer."

He first rose to prominence with the release of "Old Town Road," a country rap style song, which became viral in early 2019.

"Old Town Road" received a diamond certificate in November of the same year, and spent 19 weeks as number one on the Billboard Hot 100. "Old Town Road" won Song of The Year and Favorite rap/Hip-Hop Song at the MTV Video Music Awards and American Music Awards, respectively.

At the 2021 Grammy Awards, Lil Nas X was the most-nominated male artist, winning Best Music Video and Best Pop Duo/Group performance.

He has enjoyed much success with his debut studio album "Montero," released in 2021. The album was nominated for Album of The Year at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
