, pointing to the lyrics of his song “C7osure”) must have stirred some nerves? “Just like, rip the Band-Aid off,” says Lil Nas X, though he allows that it was “nerve-wracking” to come out to his father earlier that month. “It’s something I never probably would have did if I was still living with my parents. I have that independence to do it, you know?”
He had only been making music since the summer of 2018, while he was living at his sister’s house after his freshman year studying computer science at the University of West Georgia , hoping to create the next great app. “The blueprint of something huge more than the actual coding,” he explains. College was pretty easy, with the exception of his first F in math. “With math I spent most of the year half-assing it just so I could get by, not so I could exceed.
Still, those two songs showed his instinct for harnessing the power of the internet for his own purposes: They’re titled “Kim Jong” and “Donald Trump.” He had amassed a six-digit Twitter following with this kind of thinking -- pushing out memes and threads that rode whatever was viral at the moment , trying to be “on the next wave before it’s even there.” He wanted to “build and build my personality on the internet and a bigger base -- reaching wider audiences of all kinds.
“Because I’m always thinking: What if I’m not promoting the song hard enough? What if this never goes for me?” he recalls. “I was sick because of smoking, not sleeping because I’m always promoting my music. I was stressing so much more during that period because it was my first song to move at this height, this speed. One wrong step and it can all slip up.”sample, it felt like the one wrong step he had been dreading. “The song was nowhere near the real takeoff it was going to have,” he says.
