While many fans rejoiced when Lil Nas X took home two Grammys, and when he performed a rousing remix of his hit Old Town Road, it also lead to a homophobic rant by Atlanta rapper Pastor Troy.
The 42-year-old Troy (real name Micah LeVar Troy) took to Instagram on Wednesday, sharing a photo of 20 year old Lil Nas X (real name Montero Lamar Hill) in his hot pink outfit at the Grammys, claiming he will never win a Grammy, ‘if this what I gotta wear.’
While the post was later deleted, it was shared by music writer Ronald Isley and retweeted by Lil Nas X with a simple response: ‘Damn i look good in that pic on god.’
After referring to Lil Nas X’s hot pink cowboy outfit shown in the photo, Troy posted, he continued, ‘They love to push this s**t on Our Kids!!’ referring to homosexuality.
