Lil Nas X is part of the Barbz
It turns out Lil Nas X is part of the Barbz - the name for Nicki Minaj's fanbase.
The rapper confirmed on Twitter this week that he once had an entire fan page dedicated to her.
And the reason he never admitted it before, is because he didn't want people to know he's gay.

The revelation came after the 21-year-old tweeted Nicki asking her if she'd like to collaborate on a song with him.
Alongside a meme that reads, 'I am proposing,' he tweeted, 'i have this song i want u on and was wondering….'

Nas said, 'it don’t but people will assume if you had an entire fan page dedicated to nicki u are gay.'
'and the rap/music industry ain’t exactly built or accepting of gay men yet.'
