Scroll To Top

Lil Nas X is back, and in a big way!

The bombastic musician made his return to stage Sunday night at the 2020 Grammy Awards, where he is nominated. After disappearing from the spotlight for about three months, Nas X started creeping back only months ago. it was likely all in anticipation of this performance.

The set itself was a medley. He came out with his track "Dead Right Now" before seguing into "Call Me By Your Name (MONTERO)" and "Industry Baby." He wore multiple looks — need the bejeweled crop top — made his head into a larger than life statue, and even used the screen as a backdrop where he posted comments from social media reacting to his exploits.

During the third song, "Industry Baby," collaborator Jack Harlow came out. During his verse, the two used their mics and mimicked swinging dicks. Yep, that's where we are.
