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.

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.
