1. “Old Town Road” + “Panini”
While you’ve probably heard both of those songs, some of the records they’ve broken isn’t common knowledge. “Old Town Road” is the highest RIAA-certified song of all-time, having gone 14x-Platinum. It also is the fastest song to be awarded diamond certification, and Lil Nas X purchased the beat for the track for just $30! “Panini” debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. And also…. chef Gordon Ramsay was willing to teach the rapper how to make a killer panini when Lil Nas X visited London.

No – they didn’t date. However, Lil Nas X might have gotten some major music inspiration and fell in love with the genre due to Big Apple star Nicki Minaj. In fact, he used to run a Barbz fan page, although he originally lied about it to hide his sexuality. She seemed cool with the fact that he did that, and actually they’ve got a dope friendship now. Lil Nas X even dressed up as Minaj on Halloween.
3. Lil Nas X Breast Implants
Lil Nas X went full-troll mode last month, going online with a picture of himself with some massive breast implants. He took to Twitter with the photo, but didn’t let anybody in on if they were real or not. All he let be known was that he “got bored”, although the implants did end up being fake. Perhaps it was just a crazy music promotion, as he responded to his own tweet asking followers to stream “Call Me By Your Name” after.
