The INDUSTRY BABY singer formerly dated a dancer he worked with.
At the moment, Lil Nas X feels like single and not quite ready to mingle.
In September 2021, themusician went on SiriusXMsAndy Cohen Liveand revealed thathe was no longer in a relationship.
I was seeing someone, he said.
Um, I kind of decided I didnt want to anymore.
The relationship update came roughly one month after the Industry Baby artistgushed over his now ex-boyfriendin aninterview withVariety.
Ive had some good boyfriends, some bad ones.
A lot of them emotionally unavailable and whatnot.
A lot of insecurity between them.
But yeah, I found somebody special now.
Rumors began swirling in June of last year that Lil Nas X was dating his backup dancerYai Ariza.
(AsOutreports,Lil Nas X confirmed that Ariza was, indeed, his former boyfriend.)
Relationship speculation started after the rapper performed Michael Jacksons Remember the Time at the BET Awards.
Yall hate yourselves so much, he tweeted.
Yall live your lives trying your best to appease straight ppl.
Yall are uncomfortable with what I do because yall are afraid they will be uncomfortable with you.
Work on yourselves, I love who I am and whatever I decide to do.
Its worth noting that it took the rapper a while to get where he is now.
In that same interview, the rapper was asked whether or not he was in a relationship.
Now, the rapper seems to be taking a break from dating altogether.
I dont think I want any guy right now, he told Cohen when asked what hes looking for.
Maybe Im floating around right now.
But it doesnt seem like hes looking for anything serious.
And you have to give this person your time.
And Im more in love with what Im doing than people.
I love him to death.
I feel it was the most serious relationship Ive ever had.
And although he used to really want a relationship, things have changed.
And I love to do that.
