Lil Nas X's kiss at the 2021 BET Awards is still being hailed as one of the most unforgettable moments of the ceremony.
The "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" rapper smooched one of his backup dancers at the end of his performance, and he said the whole thing surprised his family.
"My family had no idea it was about to happen, but they loved it," he said on the podcast Open House Party with Kannon.
"I think one of my sisters — I forgot exactly what she said," he added. "She was like, 'Wow, you absolutely murdered that.'”
“She was like, 'The best performance of the night, not just saying that.'"
Lil Nas X didn’t have a problem choosing which dancer to kiss because he chose the same guy who licked his neck during his sexy Saturday Night Live performance.
"I was like, 'Hey, what if we kissed in this one?'" he explained. "He was like, 'Yeah, sure.'"
Ooh la la! Although the Georgia native received a lot of backlash for kissing another man onstage, he said that he doesn’t regret it.
"I feel like it's what needed to be done," Lil Nas X said. "Because it's easy to just hug a guy, but I feel like if you kiss the guy, you get straight to the point.”
“I really sugarcoat the performance, and it gets the job done,” he continued.
Lil Nax X continues to make history with his record-breaking songs and his iconic performances. I can’t wait to see what he does next!
