After a series of fake promotional ads that promised BBLs and homophobic dogs for presaving his latest single, “Late to Da Party,â€Â Lil Nas X’s anticipated track is out now, featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again. In his announcement for the new song, he released a video resembling an ad for the BET Awards show, parodying their feud with clips of him winning awards from other shows and his performance from last year’s BET Awards.
Lil Nas X played a snippet of the song earlier this month that featured the lyrics “Fuck BET,†referring to his nominations snub at their awards show.
