Lil Nas X Apologizes to Trans Community After Sending Controversial Tweet

It looks like the “Old Town Road” has led Lil Nas X to apologizing to the trans community after sending a controversial tweet on Tuesday.

According to People, the Montero artist tweeted a since-deleted picture of a girl who looked similar to him with the caption “the surgery was a success,” as if to suggest he’d transitioned. This, in turn, sparked outrage from members of the trans community who felt he was poking fun and making light of transitioning amidst a time where several legislations have either been proposed or enacted to further oppress trans people. The community also took issue with how the “Industry Baby” rapper responded to users who tried to shed light on why his joke caused offense.
