Lil Nas X responds to Boston protesters with pizza, declaration of love

Lil Nas X is no stranger to criticism. The unapologetically flamboyant superstar most notably faced backlash last year for the music video to his song MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name). The video depicted a sexual encounter with Satan, and the musician attempted to release a custom line of Nikes that included real human blood shortly thereafter.

Conservative media figures reacted strongly, fueling a news cycle highly critical of the Georgia musician. Through it all, Lil Nas X has remained active online and engaged with both his fans and critics.

The trend continued in Boston on Sunday, as a small group of protesters gathered outside the new MGM Music Hall as Lil Nas X performed inside.

A video of the protesters shared on Twitter got Lil Nas X’s attention, and he responded with a seemingly sarcastic promise.

“Just told my team to send them pizza, this is really good promo!” he wrote.

A short while later, one member of the musician’s team actually delivered, bringing pizza across the street to the group.
