The "Old Town Road" hitmaker says that he tried using Raya, but would rather link up with a potential love interest in person these days.

The final episode of James Corden's late-night show is quickly approaching, which unfortunately means no more of our favourite segment – Carpool Karaoke. Earlier this month we saw the English entertainer and Bad Bunny travel around Los Angeles, and we know that Kim Kardashian is due to appear on an upcoming show. Between those two, though, it was Lil Nas X who took his turn adventuring, chatting, and singing with the jolly host.

Aside from singing along to some of his favourite songs, the Atlanta native also got candid about his love life with Corden. "I  used to use Raya," Lil Nas confirmed, referencing the popular celebrity dating app. "I think I stopped using Raya… It just like, fell off for me and I just started to meet people in person. And Raya is just very famous, everyone's famous on there. I've met quite a few famous guys. I think I've come to know that I don't like dating famous people," he later added.

Lil Nas X Sings His Heart Out on Carpool Karaoke

When the host pressed the singer for juicy details, asking if any of his prior dates have been on Carpool Karaoke, the "Old Town Road" hitmaker confirmed, "For sure." To this, Corden quipped, "Is it Michael Bublé?" causing Lil Nas to respond, "I’m not going to tell you… Michael Bublé?! … Yeah, yeah. You caught me. Could you imagine? Michael Bublé is gay?" Of course, the Canadian icon is straight (and married with three children), but as the foreigner pointed out, "He's hot and he's got a hell of a voice."

As Complex notes, the MONTERO artist has mostly kept his love life away from the spotlight, aside from his romance with Yai Ariza. The performer previously starred in Lil Nas X's "That's What I Want" music video, which caused a major stir online at the time. Elsewhere in the news, the 23-year-old jokingly dissed 50 Cent on Twitter over the weekend, earning him plenty of laughs from followers on social media. Read what he had to say to trolls comparing him to the G-Unit artist here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
