Lil Nas X’s relationship with the BET Awards is even more fraught, and disappointing, than previously known. The day before the show, which aired on Sunday night, with a controversial zero nominations for the breakout pop star, the rapper and his team spoke to Rolling Stone, giving more details on his escalating feud with the network.
"My relationship with BET has been painful and strained for quite some time. It didn't start with this year's nominations like most people might think," he said. "They did let me perform on their show last year, but only after [I gave] assurances that I was not a satanist or devil worshiper, and that my performance would be appropriate for their audience."
