While speaking about Nas X for the Time Magazine feature, fellow rapper Kid Cudi said, “There’s a homophobic cloud over hip-hop, and he’s going to break that sh-t down. We have to stand with him. I’m going to do whatever I have to do to let him know—you have my support. When we do our song together, however trippy the video is, let’s get sexy with it.” He also said, “ Lil Nas X is a new twist on some of the themes I was riding on when I first started out: being true to yourself and not giving a f-ck what anyone says. What he’s doing is what we need right now. To have a gay man in hip-hop doing his thing, crushing records—that is huge for us and for Black excellence.”

Other pioneers, leaders, artists, innovators and icons that are apart of the most influential people of the 2021 list include Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Tennis Star Naomi Osaka, pop star Britney Spears, activist and attorney Ben Crump, singer Billie Eilish and more.

As we previously reported, back in April, the retail company got a judge to shut down the selling of Lil Nas X’s controversial “Satan shoes” that has their famous logo on them. Lil Nas debuted the shoe shortly after he dropped the music video for this latest single “Montero(Call Me By Your Name).” At the time, he announced his collaboration with the brand MSCHF where the company designed a pair of Air Max 97s with a pentagram interlocked on the tongue, the scripture Luke 10:18 in reference to Satan’s fall from Heaven, and x/666, indicating the number of each shoe. The soles contained 66 ccs of red ink and a single drop of human blood and the sneaker were released in limited pairs at a price of $1,018.

Nike released a statement explaining, “MSCHF has agreed to initiate a voluntary recall to buy back any Satan Shoes and Jesus Shoes for their original retail prices, to remove them from circulation.” Lil Nas X also issued “an apology” to anyone offended by the collaboration.

Lil Nas X Reveals His Mother Is An Addict: ‘We Don’t Have The Closest Relationship’

While talking with Variety about his latest accomplishment — receiving 6 Grammy nominations from the Recording Academy — Lil Nas X also talked about his rise to fame which included dealing with a mother who’s been battling some sort of addition.

RELATED: Lil Nas X Says He Is Taking A Break From Music

“I never really talk about my mom. She’s an addict so we don’t have the closest relationship,” he said. “Even trying to get her better — things didn’t quite work out. But there’s still love… The biggest surprise of becoming globally famous? On the outside, everybody loves you — but on the inside, everything [feels] the same.”

While he didn’t speak further on his mom’s current battle, back in September of 2019, he did announce that he was taking a break from music because he was very overwhelmed.

“I wanted to do more performances last year, but it didn’t go as planned and I didn’t have confidence,” he said. The time off wasn’t particularly helpful.  “I would start to overthink it all and I’d get overwhelmed. Like, what song should I put out next? Or should I put out multiple songs? Or how do I prove this person wrong?”
