“Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more. but before this month ends i want y’all to listen closely to c7osure,” he said in a post that ended with rainbow and sparkle emojis.

The lyrics to “c7osure” are vague but it’s clearly about someone struggling to come out. Lil Nas X is someone. “Brand new places I’ll choose and I’ll go, I know / Embracin’ this news I behold unfolding,” he raps. “I know, I know, I know it don’t feel like it’s time / But I look back at this moment, I’ll see that I’m fine.”
Fans, as well as industry counterparts, publicly supported the Georgia artist.
