Lil Nas X‘s shock arrest Thursday may not have been a shock after all … there were red flags months before his on-camera meltdown.
In February, a video was reposted to a fan account on X showing the rapper talking about his soon-to-be-released music — as well as his personal issues. He seems to have scrubbed the OG video from his socials … unclear when exactly he took it down, though.
Nas kicked things off by explaining that he didn’t want anyone to think he was being “flaky” and “all over the place.”
Then he admitted to having a tough few years, driving home the point by saying, “They have been pretty difficult for me.”
Nas went on to say he was gaining confidence again in himself and what he does musically.
