Lil Nas X was ready for whatever happened at the GRAMMYs, tweets out jokes
In true Lil Nas X fashion, he was posting jokes on Twitter hours before the awards ceremony started. He used an old photo of himself to joke about his outfit for the GRAMMYs, writing that he had arrived on the red carpet and “looks absolutely stunning!”
In another tweet, he joked, “i’m either gonna win a grammy, go to a club, get drunk, and have sex with a random stranger or lose each grammy, go to a club, get drunk, and have sex with a random stranger,” seeming to comment that regardless of the outcome, it’s not going to hurt his night.
In another tweet hours before the event, he joked that he was “ready for whatever happens tonight” with an image showing two tweets in his drafts, one reading, “OMG I JUST GOT ANOTHER GRAMMY” and the other, “OMG THE GRAMMYS REALLY SNUBBED ME!”
Both of the drafted joke tweets contain memes featuring a dog. The draft showing that he won the award featured a dog with hearts over his eyes and Pride flags that reads, “I’m fond of gay people.” On the tweet where he claims to be snubbed, the dog image has the text, “No more lies.”
Lil Nas X is known for his memes and jokes online and the night of the Grammy Awards is no different than any other day of the year.
Although he won’t win every award, it appears that the Montero star is ready to have a good night regardless.
