For Entertainment Weekly's Pride issue, the "Old Town Road" artist opened up about his online antics, explaining why he chooses to clap back when trolls come for him. “When I first got famous, I would block everybody,” he shared. “But now it’s like, okay, cool. For me, I would rather somebody hate the s*** out of me when they’re talking about me rather than not say anything at all, because that’s giving more power to my name.” “I’m very much a chaotic, good person,” Lil Nas X added. “I almost never want to start shooting at somebody who didn’t bring it to my doorstep, you know? But I kind of live for when somebody tries to get me and I’m ready to throw it back at them tenfold. Do I feel bad about it sometimes? Every now and then, but I feel less bad knowing that I didn’t start it. I try to never throw stones, but if somebody throws one at me, I’m throwing an entire house.”
