Lil Nas X has immortalised his ongoing beef with the BET Awards on new single ‘Late To Da Party’, opening the track with a chant of “fuck BET”.The new song, which also features Youngboy Never Broke Again, doesn’t specifically lay into BET any further, although the lyrics do assure everyone listening that Lil Nas X doesn’t need anyone’s help to make money.
