Lil Nas X covers Billboard’s 2020 Grammy preview issue

Lil Nas X has had a very successful 2019 is and this will forever be inextricably tied to Billboard. His song “Old Town Road” hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 and stayed there, becoming the longest-running No. 1 in the chart’s 60-year history. There were endless remixes.

Lil Nas X won his first-ever awards at the VMAs. And now, he’s on the cover of Billboard‘s 2020 Grammy preview issue, seemingly not sweating the colossal expectations a year as 2019 would impose.

“I’m not worried about anything,” he says in the interview

“As an artist building myself up, I’m going to have to continue to make other moments, But it’s not something that I’m upset about or anything. I mean, maybe when I’m out in public and someone asks for a picture and they’re like, ‘Where is your hat?'”

Lil Nas X is known now. He’s got an L.A. apartment but he’s eyeing a house, potentially in Atlanta. And he’s trying not to slow down.
