Lil Nas X Shut Down This Rapper's Homophobic Comments in the Best Way
Never troll a troll...
Rapper Lil Nas X had nothing short of an incredible night on Sunday at the Grammys.
He stunned on the red carpet in a hot pink Versace suit getup and cowboy hat, broke the internet with a performance of record-smashing #1 hit song "Old Town Road" and all of its remixes, then won two Grammys to cap off the night before hitting the strip club with Lizzo, Dua Lipa, and Ezra Miller.
Can you say iconic?
Sadly, homophobes exist and not everyone could just let Nas have his moment.
Pastor Troy, a rapper from the early 2000s who is desperately hanging onto his sliver of relevancy, decided to attack Lil Nas X (who came out as gay last summer) on Instagram for promoting the gay agenda, whatever that is.
\u201cPastor Troy went on a long, homophobic rant & somehow convinced himself that it\u2019s the reason why he doesn\u2019t have a Grammy.\u201d— Ronald Isley (@Ronald Isley) 1580315861
"Welp, Guess I won’t be winning a GRAMMY...If this what I gotta wear," he wrote. "They love to push this sh-- on Our kids!! The other day Applebees had some punks kissing and laughing eating mozzarella sticks. First Thing My 14 yr old Son said was, 'F**** Applebee’s' And It Brought Joy to My Heart!!" he wrote. "He sees it...their agenda to take the masculinity from Men, Black Men Especially. Some may say, 'He Making Money!!' Rupaul do too, but I ain’t bumping his CD!!! Integrity is Priceless. Y’all Better open that 3rd Eye and let your Sons Know What Is Real...Or They Ass Gone Be Headed Down That Old Town Road Foreal!!"
Triggered by an Applebee's commercial! Sad!
Lil Nas X saw the tweet and his response quickly went viral, currently with over 286,000 likes.

"Damn i look good in that pic on god," he tweeted. His clap back inspired an avalanche of memes, including this excellent one from Nas himself:
