Lil Nas X Responds To Dave East’s Homophobia Over Nicki Minaj Halloween Look, “Leave me alone”

All Lil Nas X did was take to his social media and get in the celebratory mood of Halloween, by transforming into one of his favorite rap idols – Nicki Minaj.

But that, apparently, hasn’t gone down well with those in the business – who seem to be a bit too insecure about their masculinity.

First of them was rapper Dave East, who took a dig at Nas over his recreation of Minaj’s iconic look from ‘SuperBass’ music video.

“And y’all was mad at me about this n***a,” Dave East wrote on an Instagram post, with a screenshot of Nas’ Halloween look as Minaj.

“Bati mon bun up!!!! I gotta move to Jamaica, @PopcaanMusic on my wayyyyy chubble.” – he further stated.

Apparently, “batty man” is a homophobic slur in Jamaica – a country where sexual minorities are still fighting for their basic right to live.

Responding to the same, Nas simply asked East to ‘leave him alone’, insisting that he does nothing but ‘tweet and make bangers.’

“It’s ‘batty man’ n****s can’t even be homophobic [slur] the proper way smh butchering the hell out of the patois,” Lil Nas X responded along with screenshots of Dave East’s since-deleted posts. “Bro I don’t bother a soul in this industry. All I do is tweet and make bangers. Leave me alone Damn.”
