Lil Nas X, the 22-year-old rapper, singer, and songwriter, saw his massive hit “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” recognized to the tune of three Grammy nominations yesterday. The song garnered the artist song of the year, record of the year and best music video nominations — with an additional two nods for Album of the Year (Montero) and Best Melodic Rap Performance (“Industry Baby,” a collaboration with Jack Harlow.)
Lil Nas X is doing something radical — and at least one mainstream media outlet doesn’t appear to know how to talk about it, as evinced by an NBC headline that reductively and even homophobically characterized the recognition the groundbreaking artist received.
