Lil Nas X rejects “Outdated City Street” remix with Pete Buttigieg
Given Lil Nas X has collaborated with nearly everybody — Billy Ray Cyrus, Younger Thug, BTS, and possibly even Dolly Parton — it’s shocking to study there’s somebody the rapper gained’t do a remix with: potential presidential candidates. South Bend, Indiana mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was imagined to collaborate with Lil Nas X for a stay selection present earlier this week — that’s, till Lil Nas X turned him down.
This previous Thursday night, Buzzfeed hosted a stay selection present in New York Metropolis. The present, titled Web Reside, included performances from web celebrities, Broadway singers, Jersey Shore stars, and the occasion’s headliner, Lil Nas X. Buzzfeed hoped to incorporate Buttigieg within the occasion by way of video, ideally reciting the lyrics to “Outdated City Street” in collaboration with Lil Nas X, The Every day Beast reviews. Buttigieg was recreation for the gimmick. It seems Lil Nas X wasn’t as he rejected the concept, and in flip Buttigieg ditched the occasion.

Apparently Lil Nas X stated he’s not against Buttigieg personally, however fairly nervous to be seen as endorsing a particular candidate within the race. Consequently, “the concept was dropped” and Buttigieg didn’t take part within the occasion.
It’s a bummer for Buttigieg, as he’s gone on the document earlier than to say he’s a fan of the rapper. When Lil Nas X got here out throughout Satisfaction month, the mayor tweeted, “As a fan, I’m thrilled and impressed to see him standing in his fact as a member of the LGBTQ group. Welcome to the household!”
Possibly this can be a signal Lil Nas X will gradual his remix roll. Apart from, there’s few accolades left for the artists to nab at this level given “Outdated City Street” is formally the longest-running No. 1 hip-hop track.
