When it comes to dealing with trolls online, Lil Nas X continues to show haters are no match.
The out LGBTQ+ music artist–who rose to stardom with his country rap "Old Town Road,"–is also an expert at trolling.
When a hater hacked his Facebook account and left an anti-Pride message just in time for the start of Pride month, Nas was more amused than offended.
The hacker wrote as the rapper:
“F*CK PRIDE MONTH. I faked being gay bitch. Ty for the $.”

When he shared the screenshot message, Nas retweeted it with the caption:
“i’m screaming because this is something i would actually say.”

Fans got a kick out of Nas' amusement over the hacker's message.
\u201c@lilnasxmajor Nooo it's something he'd say. He's a sarcastic bussy and we love him\u201d— \ud835\ude48\ud835\ude3c\ud835\ude45\ud835\ude4a\ud835\ude4d \u269c\ufe0f (@\ud835\ude48\ud835\ude3c\ud835\ude45\ud835\ude4a\ud835\ude4d \u269c\ufe0f) 1654106839
\u201c@LilNasX looks like you found a new social media manager\u201d— MONTERO (@MONTERO) 1654147686
\u201c@LilNasX the only reason i knew it wasnt you is because that O is capitalized \ud83d\ude2d\u201d— MONTERO (@MONTERO) 1654147686
\u201c@LilNasX it's the way ppl are showing screenshots of u trolling the same way and its all different tweets \ud83d\ude2d\u201d— MONTERO (@MONTERO) 1654147686
\u201c@LilNasX If being gay makes you a lot of money what the hell am I doing in my life? \ud83d\udc80\u201d— MONTERO (@MONTERO) 1654147686
\u201c@lilnasxmajor The hacker doesn't have that pride day spirit he needs lil head to get him outta that slump\u201d— \ud835\ude48\ud835\ude3c\ud835\ude45\ud835\ude4a\ud835\ude4d \u269c\ufe0f (@\ud835\ude48\ud835\ude3c\ud835\ude45\ud835\ude4a\ud835\ude4d \u269c\ufe0f) 1654106839
\u201c@LilNasX they were auditioning to be your social media manager\u201d— MONTERO (@MONTERO) 1654147686
Nas wasn't kidding about the comment being something he would say.
After coming out in 2020, he pranked fans with an April Fool's joke posting "i was never gay. i said it to build up fuel for aprils fools day. ha got u guys."
\u201ci was never gay. i said it to build up fuel for aprils fools day. ha got u guys.\u201d— MONTERO (@MONTERO) 1585726096
But his hetero ruse didn't last long.
Thirteen minutes later, he tweeted, "ok. I'm gay again."
And in 2021, he had words for trolls who accused him of coming out for attention.
He tweeted:
“y’all love saying i’m being gay for success but can’t name 5 successful gay male artists in the last 10 years to save your life.”
At this point, it's a mystery as to why homophobic haters consistently try to bring him down when Nas continuously demonstrates how unaffected he is.
Happy Pride!
