Rapper Lil Nas X got himself involved in some controversy he would rather forget following a series of social media posts in which he seemed to be mocking Covid-19.Â
Rapper Lil Nas X Criticised For His Comments Mocking Covid-19-‘U Non-COVID B****es Need To Stfu’
It is no secret that the pandemic has created more confusion, as demonstrated by the numerous variants that have emerged. The latest one to be added to this list has been the Omicron variant.
But rather than put it into the perspective that Covid has decimated the livelihoods of millions around the world, Lil Nas decided to make fun of it.
In a post to his fans on Twitter, he said: “COVID really sucks. Now that I’m sure I won’t die from COVID I will now begin making mildly funny jokes about having it.
“I’m not sure whether I’ve had the Omarion or Alicia Keys variant of COVID but this has not been a fun journey.”
Naturally, his comments did not go down well. As such, Lil Nas decided to remove the post from his social media. This is understandable for the following reasons.
First of all, the pandemic is not something to laugh about. Secondly, given the rise of cancel culture, there was a risk that he could have been canceled as a result. And yet, that was before he went on to make another controversial comment.
He added: “I only talk to people who have COVID now. U non-COVID b****es need to stfu. Us COVIDers run this s**t!…’COVID really sucks.
“Last night I was tryna watch porn then I sneezed snot all over penis lmao.” The response on social media was one of outrage. A certain subset of people called for the rapper to be cancelled.
They felt that his comments were insensitive, especially since the number of cases are on the rise. As of now, there is nothing to suggest that the rapper will face any further consequences.
However, the fact that he has such a global fan base around the world is something that he has to remember. Hopefully going forward, Lil Nas will be more mindful over what he says in public.
