Lil Nas X sends pizza to 'homophobic’ protesters outside his concert, fans say 'I want free pizza too'
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS: Lil Nas X is currently on his super-hit tour 'Long Live Montero' as he prepares to perform on Tuesday, September 20, at the New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. He will then hit Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Nashville, Orlando, Miami, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Francisco. Being on the road for an artist is not easy but Nas X has proved that he will always keep his cool. When an angry crowd of protestors showed up at his outside his concert in Boston, he decided to order them pizza!
The 23-year-old rapper, who has enough experience in handling people with strong opinions managed this boiling situation easily. On the day of his performance at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway last Sunday, September 18, he was informed about a small group of Christian protestors outside the revenue protesting against the 'Industry Baby' singer and his show. Several protestors held signs saying, "Jesus is God, even demons know it" and "Repent and Believe the Gospel." In a TikTok video which was later shared on Twitter as well, Nas X said, "So peopel [sic] were protesting my concert last night. So we brought them pizza." He posted the video on Twitter writing, "Just told my team to send them pizza, this is really good promo!"
