The admission of wrongdoing came hours after the ‘Montero’ hitmaker shared a photo of the influencer princess glow — whose real name is Armanda Tounghui — on her Instagram page. Glow’s photo (seen below) looked like a female Nas X, which is why he made the joke. Fans immediately shamed him for the comment and accused him of making fun of the trans community. As he stated in his apology, he initially responded angrily.

In his original responses, which were captured by a fan and can be seen here, he told fans, “I’m literally saying she looks like me, you can’t be f***** serious”. In another response to the criticism, Nas X asked a Twitter user if they were “dense” as they wondered why he brought up the trans community.
Some fans weren’t happy with the Grammy winner’s apology, but Nas X didn’t seem to care. “Baby, this apology is not it!” You should also apologize to the trans community in material ways, including money, by sharing your platform to raise awareness and just keep it! It’s fake as hell! a person slammed. In response, Nas X told the fan to “eat” his “a**,” which sparked more backlash.
Lil Nas X has raised eyebrows in recent years for adding traditionally feminine features to his body. For example, the “Rodeo” rapper turned heads in February 2021 for apparently having breast implant surgery. “I was bored so I bought t****** what do you think?” he captioned two images of his new chest, covering them only with his hand and an emoji. As seen below, he also filmed a video of himself bouncing them under a t-shirt. Although fans were pretty sure he actually had fake boobs, it turns out he didn’t do any such thing.

Later that year, he opted for a prosthetic pregnancy belly when he announced that his debut album, Monterowas due to give birth on September 17. He went out of his way and did a maternity photoshoot for his ‘baby’ and also shared a video of himself stroking her fake baby bump.
