Lil Nas X, who has a habit of playing with his followers on social media, raised some eyebrows on Wednesday by claiming he has a child.
“yes i have a son and i’m no longer gonna hide him from this cruel world!,” the rap star wrote in an Instagram Story. In another, he displayed the boy’s birthday as Sept. 27, 2021.
Most fans aren’t buying that there is a Lil’er Lil Nas X.
“If y’all immediately believe anything that come out of Lil Nas X mouth, u don’t need to be on the internet,” read one tweet. Another fan wrote: “lil nas x is so good at trolling I literally don’t believe anything he says unless it’s about music release dates.”
Last year, Lil Nas X shared photos showing him with a “baby bump” to accompany the news that he was “pregnant” with his debut album Montero. (He also posted a video of the delivery.)
This past Sept. 12, he tweeted photos with a plush toy and captioned them: “dad duties never stop.”
