  2. He decided to move in with his father who lived in Austell, Cobb County, Georgia after around 3 years of the separation of his parents. He relocated because, according to him, “There’s so much shit going on in Atlanta—if I would have stayed there, I would have fallen in with the wrong crowd.”
  3. Lil Nas X was in 4th grade when he started playing trumpet and was the first chair by his junior high years. However, he soon decided to quit because he feared that it would make him look uncool.
  4. After he dropped out of the university, he stayed with his sister and worked different jobs which included working at Zaxby’s and Six Flags Over Georgia.
  5. At the beginning of his career, Lil Nas X was not very sure about what to focus on creatively and tried his hand at different things. He made fan accounts such as FactsAboutNM and NasMaraj which gained much popularity. ‘NasMaraj’ was named after famous rapper Nas and rapper and pop singer, Nicki Minaj, whose actual last name is ‘Maraj’. However, when media started connecting him with the account, he denied his involvement.

  8. Old Town Road soon spurred controversy in March 2019 after Billboard controversially removed the song from the Hot Country Songs chart telling Rolling Stone magazine that “Upon further review, it was determined that “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X does not currently merit inclusion on Billboard’s country charts. When determining genres, a few factors are examined, but first and foremost is a musical composition. While “Old Town Road” incorporates references to country and cowboy imagery, it does not embrace enough elements of today’s country music to chart in its current version.”
  9. Essayist and music journalist, Robert Christgau described Billboard‘s decision citing that “Taking ‘Old Town Road’ off the country chart strikes me as racist pure and simple because country radio remains racist regardless of the Darius Rucker and Kane Browns it makes room for.” However, Billboard has denied all the racial accusations.
