TROJAN Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) There was no controversy, OGH. Edited January 15 by TROJAN
Superbitch Posted January 15 Posted January 15 It wasn’t really controversy it was more like… again??? 5
SIDE2SIDE Posted January 15 Posted January 15 even if this song ends up becoming a full on flop, it still benefited him by bringing his name attention again after two years of irrelevancy. now that he has the GPs attention, he can rebrand and release a smash.
Bimbo Posted January 15 Posted January 15 This entire release has been so embarrassing to witness… him getting Terri Joe to promo him just screams “HELP ME!!!!” 1 1

crf13 Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Why can’t he just take the hint and go away? It’d be one thing if this were someone talented you could take seriously, but the music industry would not be missing anything if he were to be removed from it. All this “he can rebound…he’s a hitmaker…” don’t you want more to spend your time checking for someone who… ya know…actually has redeeming qualities not just as a person, but as an actual artist, who you can see making it to album #5, #6, #7…and onwards? It’s like stanning a parody artist like Weird Al. 4
dabunique Posted January 15 Posted January 15 i think he should've jus kept quiet about da video and released it but he made this whole hoopla about da cross, these celebrity impersonators, gettin into a religious university for da song to be jus ok he overhyped da video 1

mrpartyrocker Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) 4 hours ago, GeminiCat said: Yeah I mean he only has one of the biggest Billboard hits this century and his last era produced two #1 smash hits and another top 10 but fine. I'm not interested in going back and forth arguing semantics. Point is he has proven he can make a catchy hit, it will not surprise if he lets this blow over, comes back freshly rebranded with the right song and smashes. So what? Macklemore had some huge #1s and few hits then faded away… and many other artists. To say he has some hits under his belt is one thing, but to call him a hitmaker that’s a different story call Rihanna or Katy Perry hitmakers as you have the stats, but not Lil Nas X.

There's definitely been outrage.

Bubble Tea Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I like him but I need him to actually make the music great first and foremost, then do whatever you want but the music needs to be good at its core.
LittleStarmen Posted January 15 Posted January 15 this was too similar to his past eras inalso dont think he has a point in his video this time
Cain Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Why does he sound so serious jfkd He’s probably stressed after the bomb
DamianSolo Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I can't take an artist seriously whenever they start apologizing for their artistry, especially when they can't even express themselves effectively. It raises the question of whether or not they truly even understand the background of whatever they're talking about and addressing. It was poorly thought out and conceived in what seemed to be a desperate attempt to create a shocking moment that would promote itself and give him attention. I really wonder what he thought was going to happen, or if he expected a positive response. It's not even shocking, at this point, all he did was just piss people off. It was so crassly done, it's no wonder why he's receiving backlash for it, with no real message or meaning to even speak of. I was rooting for him, but he should have focused on creating a solid body of work—as opposed to that type of fodder, leaning on controversy rather than talent that's been in question recently.

He was getting dragged pretty bad for it tbh. I feel like it's actually mature to apologize, like he said he can act unfazed and unbothered but that's just not the case. It's not 2011 anymore, like Gaga got away with it with Judas but it's diff now, you have to apologize and own your sh*t these days, people demand transparency from celebrities and rightfully so. There's a weird thing going on with LNX and the amount of self hate gays are projecting on to him (Not saying you're doing that OP -- just stating in general) or maybe this is just his backlash MPG era but the people on the sidelines cheering and jumping up and down with glee at a MAINSTREAM MALE GAY POP STAR's downfall is so bizarre to me. Don't be fooled girlies, yes it's 2024 but bigotry and homophobia is real and alive. 1
Billionaire Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I have a feeling this 'apology' is also a gimmick in a way You never know with him 1
