Some things are fundamentally true of the world: The sky is blue, the grass is green, and Lil Nas X is a special troll. Now, the “Call Me By Your Name” singer is blasting Twitch streamer Kai Cenat over the rapper's latest series of posts.
In a drift On Thursday, Cenat gave a shout out to the rapper following the artist's latest round of promotions for his new single. “Not this! Yo, Lil Nas X, you could eat all my d–,” he yelled, cutting himself off before finishing the last word. “I hate this n—ah, bro. Now this blows my mind, brother… God will handle you the right way. I don't want to talk about it yet, bro. But, look, God will handle you, brother.”
When a friend on the stream asked Cenat to explain what he was upset about, Cenat refused to be specific, instead saying to “go to his page bro. He disrespected God himself… he disrespected the whole culture, mocking it, mocking it.”
Advertising sign Lil Nas X's reps have been reached for comment.
Last week, Lil Nas X took to social media promoting his new single “J CHRIST,” dedicating his new track about Jesus Christ, “THE MAN WHO HAD THE GREATEST COMEBACK OF ALL TIME.” Along with sharing teasers for the new song and video, the singer announced that he was entering his “Christian era,” joked that he would independently release gospel music and even shared a fake acceptance letter to conservative Christian college Liberty University, causing school to clarify that he had not actually been accepted.
But amid his persistent trolling, Lil Nas X was also real with his fans, explaining that the backlash to his use of religious themes throughout his music reeked of hypocrisy. When commentators called the cover of his new single – which shows him standing on a black cross – disrespectful to Christians, the rapper clapped back quickly. “The crazy thing that is nowhere in the picture is a mockery of Jesus,” he wrote. “The image of Jesus has been used throughout history in the art of people all over the world. I'm not kidding the s–t. We just need to stop trying to hold on to a religion that was here before any of us were even born. stfu.”
In another Position, Lil Nas addressed claims that he trolls Christians too often. “You will take everything at face value. I have never released a visual without an underlying meaning and you all know that. but because I'm a troll you consider my art to be just 'pissing,'” he wrote.
In a later post, he elaborated further, saying that he didn't appreciate the comparisons he received to artists like Madonna and Lady Gaga, who also used Christian iconography in their art. “The problem with a lot of gay people is that you think I'm trying to be like Gaga or Madonna, when in fact with all due respect I'm showing what they did and doing what I want with my career.”
