Discussion about Lil Nas X's performance of "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" at the BET awards, which culminated in a gay kiss, is ongoing.

After several people compared it to the Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears kiss that took place at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Madonna herself weighed in on the moment.


People initially did not react kindly to Madonna's response.





But Nas wasn't having it.

Replying to the PopCrave tweet, he simply said:

"Me and madonna are friends. It's just a joke."




Madonna has received a fair bit of negative press over the last year, after a now-deleted post where she delivered a speech about how the virus and ongoing pandemic were the "great equalizer," shared from her Soho, UK apartment in a rose petal-filled tub.





Madonna and Lil Nas X appeared to strike up their friendship on the LA stop of Madonna's Madame X tour.

She and Nas then sat down together on stage, where he sang a bit of "Old Town Road" and she told him she would "teach [him] how to ride" horses at her horse ranch.

Both artists are well-known for their boundary pushing—but the public may have more of an appetite for Nas' than for Madonna's work lately.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
