Lil Nas X Gets Emotional After Going No. 1
The rap hitmaker went to his Instagram page to geek out over his achievement. X shared a super emotional and motivational message after going No. 1.
“last year i was sitting in my apartment thinking it was all over for me. i was trying so hard to be perfect, to please everyone, and not make any enemies. that stifled me creatively. i felt so sorry for myself. but around this time in 2020 i pulled it together, me, daytrip, omer, & roy, worked for months on end. one day in june i was working on a song and found myself leaving the studio every 10 minutes to cry. but i didn’t stop working, a melody came to my mind. “call me when u want na-na-na-na na, and i knew it was something special about it, fast forward a year later it’s the biggest song in the world. thank you guys so much. we get to decide OUR own destiny, never let the world decide it for YOU! i love you! ??”
X didn’t stop there. Lil Nas also shared a throwback video from last year featuring himself talking to the future version of himself.

Nike Gets Restraining Order Against Satan Shoes
Last week, reports emerged about Nike filing a restraining order against MSCHF, the art collective that collaborated with Lil Nas X to make his recent devil-inspired shoes. They’ve blocked all sales of the limited-edition sneakers, which have drawn a whole lot of backlash. However, MSCHF announced they shipped out most pairs already.
“Nike filed a trademark infringement and dilution complaint against MSCHF today related to the Satan Shoes,” Nike told CBS News in a statement Thursday. “We don’t have any further details to share on pending legal matters. However, we can tell you we do not have a relationship with Lil Nas X or MSCHF. The Satan Shoes were produced without Nike’s approval or authorization, and Nike is in no way connected with this project.”
The court order states that the Brooklyn-based agency cannot fulfill any orders. During a court hearing Thursday morning, MSCHF’s lawyer said that the majority of the shoes, over 600 pairs, have already been shipped to individual consumers, arguing that this rendered Nike’s claims irrelevant. (CBS)
