Jack Harlow showed his support for Lil Nas X at the 2022 BET Awards after the “Old Town Road” crooner didn’t receive any nominations this year.

Lil Nas X has said that his anger at the BET Awards pre-dates his lack of nominations for this year’s event, which took place yesterday. Those comments follow the release of his new single, ‘Late To Da Party’, last week, which opens with a chant of “fuck BET”.The rapper has been teasing the new track for several weeks while also speaking about his issues with BET, insisting that he is actually attempting to make a comment “about the bigger problem of homophobia in the black community”.Now in a new interview with Rolling Stone, he and members of his team elaborate on that further, saying that the fall out between Nas and BET stems from his performance of his song ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ at last year’s awards show.

Jack Harlow is supporting his friend, Lil Nas X -- following his snub from this year's ceremony — on the 2022 BET Awards! On Sunday, the “First Class” rapper hit the carpet rocking a Lil Nas X T-shirt that he paired with Givenchy shoes and pants. Lil Nas X took to Twitter to react to his friend's fashion statement. «wow i really love this man,» the rapper responded to a tweet featuring a photo of Harlow from the carpet. Harlow and Lil Nas X collaborated together on the hit single, «Industry Baby.» Harlow was nominated for one BET Award this year, and Lil Nas X was nominated for none.

Lil Nas X has protested often and loudly about being excluded from the nominations for the BET Awards, and his friend and “Industry Baby” collaborator Jack Harlow made his own silent statement on the show’s red carpet Sunday by rocking a Lil Nas T-shirt.At the time of this article’s publication, it was not clear whether or not Harlow had commented on the carpet, but he has already been on the receiving end of substantial criticism for being a white rapper nominated for BET awards, so silent protest may have been the safest path.Harlow’s label slyly serviced the red-carpet photo, noting that Harlow’s shoes and pants were by Givenchy but did not mention the Nas shirt.Over the past few weeks, Nas has publicly denounced the BET Awards for their failure to nominate him at this year’s awards and moreover, for “the bigger problem of homophobia in the Black community,” as he wrote in a tweet earlier this month. However, the network has repeatedly stressed that the awards are voted on by fans and the network plays no role.

Lil Nas X is sharing exactly how he feels about the BET Awards.

fake promotional ads that promised BBLs and homophobic dogs for pre-saving his latest single, Lil Nas X has released his highly anticipated track featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again. «Late to Da Party» is the first drop from the musician's forthcoming second album, which he's been teasing fans with snippets of since his surprise return to social media after nearly four months of silence. As Lil Nas X has become known for, the artist uses the video to mock his recent «feud» with the BET Awards. With YoungBoy Never Broke Again currently on house arrest, the  singer put his famous meme-making mastery and «the ancient power of video editing» to use in order to create the song's official video. «I just put like three up in the top 10 / Now I don't need nobody, I just need these CCs on my body,» Lil Nas X raps as he «travels» from his home to YoungBoy Never Broke Again against various greenscreen shots of a private jet, a convertible riding through the desert, and, eventually, the BET Awards stage.

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. So that’s good.This year’s BET Awards are set to take place in LA this Sunday and – as he has been teasing this new track on social media in recent weeks – the rapper has been taking aim at the ceremony due to his lack of nominations.Insisting that his complaint is not simply sour grapes, he wrote on Twitter earlier this month: “This [is] not over no BET Award, this is about the bigger problem of homophobia in the black community.

Lil Nas X has released ‘Late To Da Party’ – his joint single with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, which features the repeated chant, “Fuck BET!”Before releasing the song itself a few hours ago, X posted a preview – spoofing the iconic Star Wars title crawl – that outlined the concept of its accompanying music video.The crawl read: “NBA YOUNGBOY is on house arrest, trapped on the isolated planet HATU. The Brutal Empire of Terror (BET) has betrayed LIL NAS X, turning their back on him after using him for clout.“With the music industry in turmoil, the galaxy is looking for a hero.

UPDATE: Lil Nas X continued his BET jihad today, releasing the artwork for his new single, “Late to Da Party.” The art depicts him urinating on a BET Award that’s already soaking in bodily fluid in a toilet.

Lil Nas X says when that it comes to inclusivity at awards show, there's still lots of room for progress. But the rapper is hopeful things will turn around for the better.The 23-year-old rapper made the statement when ET caught up with him on the red carpet at the 2022 Songwriters Hall of Fame gala Thursday night in New York City, where he was honored with the Hal David Starlight Award, which honors young songwriters impacting the music industry with original songs.«I think we have a long way to go in some places,» Lil Nas X tells ET, «but I feel like the world is definitely trying its best to change in many ways.»The comment came after the GRAMMY-winning rapper called out BET in since-deleted Tweets and blasted the network in a new track after he received zero nominations for the second year in a row.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThe Grammys might be the most well-known music awards show in the world, but the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s ceremony is arguably the most unique. The invite-only event, being held June 16 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City, and its awards honor the most important and yet most frequently overlooked people in the music business — the songwriter, duh — and it resembles a cross between the Grammys and an annual family reunion for the tight-knit songwriting and music-publishing community.At each ceremony, superstars receiving honors frequently tell the room that the accolade means more to them than any other award they’ve received, because it’s an endorsement and a validation from their peers.
