Lil Nas X (aka Montero Lamar Hill) came out as a gay man<\/a> early in July. He later told the BBC<\/a>: \u201cI don\u2019t want to just live<\/a> my entire life, especially how I got to where I\u2019m at, just not doing what I want to do. I\u2019m also, I feel like, opening the doors for more people. \u2026 Because it\u2019s not really accepted in either [the country or hip-hop communities].\u201d<\/p>\n
