"Some of y'all already now," he tweeted. "Some of ya'll don't care, some of y'all not gone fwm no more, but before this month ends, i want y'all to listen closely to c7osure." Today, June 30, is the last day of Pride Month.
The lyrics include the lines "Ain't no more actin', man that forecast say I should just let me grow/No more red light for me, baby, only green, I gotta go/Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take a hold/This is what I gotta do, can't be regretting when I'm old" And also: "Brand new places I’ll choose and I’ll go, I know / Embracin’ this news I behold unfolding/I know, I know, I know it don’t feel like it’s time / But I look back at this moment, I’ll see that I’m fine."
Soon afterward, he tweeted, "Thought I made it obvious."
While many press outlets are taking his tweets as a definitive declaration of his sexuality, LGBTQ+ website Out notes that "While Mr. X’s first message wasn’t necessarily a definitive coming out, namely with the rapper using specific LGBTQ+ labels to identify himself."
