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.

Lil Nas X has opened up about his strained relationship with Black Entertainment Television (BET), after taking numerous shots at the network this month.In early June, the rapper took to Twitter to address his exclusion from this year’s list of BET Awards nominees, writing in a since-deleted tweet that he’d received “an outstanding zero nominations again”. In another tweet, Lil Nas said he was using the opportunity to address “the bigger problem of homophobia in the Black community”.Last week, he followed up his criticisms by sharing new single ‘Late To Da Party’, a collaboration with YoungBoy Never Broke Again in which he repeatedly chants “Fuck BET”.

Jack Harlow gave a first-class performance as he took the BET Awards stage for the first time on Sunday.The 24-year-old emcee kicked off his set with a performance of «Poison.» Harlow rocked a black undershirt and matching black pants on the stage — which mimicked a house party — while he rapped the song from his latest album, . Making a surprise appearance was Lil Wayne, who came out and rapped his verse from the track. Kicking things up a notch, the rapper went into his viral hit, “First Class,” which got the audience on their feet. Surrounded by background dancers, the rapper hit his signature two-step as he performed the single.In one of the biggest surprises, Brandy graced the stage and delivered a verse alongside the rapper, before dancing alongside him.The singer's appearance comes after Harlow caught flack around the internet for not being familiar with her music catalog and impact. Harlowkicked off his night with support for his friend, and collaborator, Lil Nas X. The rapper wore a shirt featuring Lil Nas X's face with black Givenchy pants and boots. Lil Nas X reacted to his friend's nod to him on the carpet — following being snubbed from this year's ceremony — on Twitter.  «wow i really love this man,» the rapper responded to a tweet featuring a photo of Harlow from the carpet. Harlow’s performance comes after social media took issue with his nomination in the Best Male Hip-Hop category.

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.

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.
