Lil Nas X has admitted that winning no awards at the Grammys on Sunday “hurt (his) feelings.”
The rapper was nominated for five awards at the 2022 Grammys, but won zero.

He sang in a video after the event, “I ain’t win no Grammys, that s### hurt my feelings, that s### finna make me cry… Zero out of five, that’s how many Grammys I won. That s### made me cry, that s### me cry.”
He also posted a series of photos on Twitter with fellow nominees Lady Gaga and Doja Cat, writing, “Can’t believe I lost all my grammys. I am now no longer gay!”
