Lil Nas X’s highly anticipated album, Montero, has just dropped today and prior to the release of the album, X has already faced a ton of backlash from some due to its provocative imagery and the fact that the rapper is openly gay. However, there are some standing with Lil Nas X, and one person happens to be Kid Cudi. The two bonded after a Twitter user questioned why he had no Black male artists on his album, where Lil Nas Xresponded with, “Maybe a lot of them just don’t wanna work with me.” Kid Cudi replied, openly wanting to work with the 22-year-old rapper.

Now, Kid Cudi has written about Lil Nas X for Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2021 list, stating: “When I saw the tweet about Nas’ album Montero not featuring Black male artists, and he replied that ‘maybe a lot of them just don’t wanna work with me,’ that made me sad. There’s a homophobic cloud over hip-hop, and he’s going to break that down. We have to stand with him. I’m going to do whatever I have to do to let him know — you have my support. When we do our song together, however trippy the video is, let’s get sexy with it.”
