Lil Nas X was once left in a tough spot as he had to choose between Kanye West and Drake amidst the duo&#039;s controversy.

&#8220;I want to be honest&#8221;- Global Star Lil Nas X Once Picked His Side In the Famous Kanye West vs Drake Debate, and the Answer Is Shocking

Lil Nas X is one of those few musicians in the industry whose journey to fame
was a rocket ride. The Montero singer instantly garnered popularity with the
release of his country rap single Old Town Road. His first song was wildly viral
on the internet earning him over ten million certified units in streaming and
sales in 2019. The Georgia-born star also became diamond certified singer the
very same year of the release.



The success of his debut single opened the gates of opportunities for the rapper
and soon he became the most-nominated male artist at the 62nd Annual Grammy
Awards. Also, he is the only LGBT Black artist in history to win a Country Music
Association award. Not to forget, he even got the chance to collaborate with Ye
on the smash hit Industrial Baby. Even he once picked his side in the famous
Kanye West vs Drake debate

LIL NAS X ONCE CHOSE THE BEST ARTIST BETWEEN KANYE WEST AND DRAKE 

Last year, Lil Nas X sat down with Power Middays host Bryhana for a few rapid
round questions. In the session, he was asked to choose the best artist between
the controversial king and RIAA-certified Drake.



In his response, the young superstar gave his honest opinion and said, “I want
to be honest. … I feel like Kanye is the more creative artist.”

He continued that he listen more to the Thank Me Later singer, but he still
chose the Praise God singer. The rapper looked hesitant to answer since he
admires both artists and they both are incredible. While there is no doubt that
the singer deeply admires Ye and has mentioned in his interviews that working
with West was a dream come true

Meanwhile, the Grammy winner has been stepped into controversies in recent years
just like his idol West. After coming out as gay, he was targeted by people and
his fellow celebrities. In addition to the list, the Lil Nas X recently revealed
that he has a son whom he will no longer hide from the world. Although the photo
he shared on social media was of his nephew
