<p>The US rapper, who shot to fame with his hit Old Town Road, went public with his sexuality at the end of June.</p>
<p>In a post on Twitter he told fans he wanted to be honest with them before the end of Pride Month, which marks the pro-LGBT Stonewall riots of 1969.</p>

Now he’s verging on a worldwide celebrity, with his debut track being streamed over 825m times.

<p>Speaking to GQ Hype, the 20-year-old Atlanta artist said that since then he had been approached by gay men in the hip hop community who said he was making strides for representation.</p>
<p>However, he admitted that he still struggled with “having to be a voice” in a rap landscape often associated with entrenched homophobia.</p>
<p>He told the magazine: <em>“Live your life to its fullest potential and don’t really care too much about what other people think of you. I used to say that cliche, but I never really lived by it, until now.</em></p>

<p>Lil Nas X accomplished the feat as the country-trap song spent its 17th week on top of the Hot 100 chart.</p>
<p>In the UK the track has spent 16 weeks in the top 10.</p>
