The first thing people usually notice about Lil Nas X isn't just his laidback demeanor — it's the fact that his rap moniker is very similar to that of hip-hop legend Nas. Some internet users have even claimed Lil Nas X is clout-chasing and attempting to use Nas' name to garner even more attention for himself.

The music newcomer decided to address the situation in an interview with All Hip Hop. "It's been my internet alias for a minute, like Nas. The X wasn't included at first. It was just Lil Nas," he explained. He added that he included the word "Lil" because he wasn't serious about rapping when he first got involved with music. "So it was like, 'Okay, every rapper's name is starting with Lil lately.' So I kind of got stuck with it," he said. After taking music more seriously, he added the "X" on the end, saying the letter stands for "the amount of years, I felt, until I'm at the status where I'm considered legendary." 

But don't get too comfortable with his rap name. He wrote in a tweet, "Nas is a legend and I never meant any disrespect by my stage name. I actually might change it in the future." We really don't care what he calls himself. As long as he keeps making hits that make us want to grab our partner, do-si-do and twerk at the same time, we're all in!
