Lil Nas X announces new song Late To Da Party featuring YoungBoy

Lil Nas X used a video resembling an ad for the BET Awards show to announce that his new single, Late To Da Party, will be released very soon.

It comes after the singer-songwriter shared a snippet of the track which included the lyrics “Fuck BET” after he was snubbed in this year’s nominations.

“Thank you, BET awards. An outstanding zero nominations again. Black excellence,” he tweeted in response to the news at the time. “I just feel like black gay ppl have to fight to be seen in this world and even when we make it to the top mfs try to pretend we are invisible.”

Lil Nas X is yet to directly respond to BET’s statement on 7 June, which expressed “love” for the Industry baby hitmaker.

“No one from BET serves as a member of the Voting Academy,” the message added. “At BET, we are passionate advocates for the wonderful diversity that exists within our community. We are committed to using all of our platforms to provide visibility and inclusion for all of the many intersections of the Black community.”
