Y'all called me a one hit wonder. then i dropped one the most streamed albums of the year with 3 top 5 hits. Now yall saying my new shit not finna do nothing. At some point yall gotta realize I am gods favorite."

Later, he labels him a "dreamer" and adds: “’What do you want to be when you grow up, Lil Nas X?’ That n***a stood up in front of the whole class: I want to be the gayest n***a that ever lived. I want to do a music video, slide down a stripper pole, all the way to the depths of hell, and suck the devil’s d**k at ten o’ clock on BET while all the kids are awake and can see me.’ Shockingly, that was the only dream that worked out.” Nas responded to the clip on Twitter. "Y'all gotta let call me by your name go, me and the devil broke up 3 years ago. yall acting like children of divorce," he wrote.
