Lil Nas X doesn't feel like he is respected in hip-hop. During an interview with XXL, he said, “Honestly, I don’t feel as respected in hip-hop or many music places in general. But these are communities that I am a part of, whether people would like it or not. This is something that I wanted to do because, not that my entire album is rap, but there are rap tracks on my album. “
He continued, “I am a rapper. I am a pop star. I am a gay artist. But it’s like, I belong in these places, you know?”
