Prior to asking for a feature from Nicki Minaj on his new song, Lil Nas X finally admitted, once and for all, that he ran a popular fan page dedicated to the Queen of Rap. He says that he did not want to admit he was "Nas Maraj" because he was not ready to come out to the world.
"I didn't want people to know i was gay tbh," wrote LNX on Twitter. He continued by claiming that being a Barb wouldn't necessarily reveal his sexuality as a gay man but people would have made assumptions. "The rap/music industry ain't exactly built or accepting of gay men yet," he added.

As he waited for Nicki Minaj to respond to his feature inquiry, the 21-year-old artist finally heard back as the Queen understood his explanation.
"It was a bit of a sting when you denied being a barb, but I understand," said Nicki. "Congratulations on building up your confidence to speak your truth. @LilNasX."

The "Old Town Road" hitmaker responded right away, apologizing to his Royal Highness and further explaining why he denied his allegiance to her.
"The generous queen, i love u. and i’m sorry i did that in a time where u were already getting so much bandwagon hate," wrote Nas X. "I felt so bad, hoping u wouldn’t see my denial. i was just so afraid of people finding out about me and losing everything before i even got a chance."

Is there a collaboration in the cards for these two?
