Lil Nas X Gets Roasted By Interviewer After Fishing For A Compliment On The Dress He Wore To The VMAs

Source - Fans are coming to Lil Nas X’s defense after red carpet interviewer Jamila Mustafa seemingly dissed his lavender suit at the 2021 VMAs at Barclays Center. 

“I’m happy. I look good,” said the rapper, who teamed his off-the-shoulder Atelier Versace ensemble with a mullet. “Do you think I look good?” he then asked Mustafa, prompting her to reply, “Listen, I’m not gonna say I’m hatin’ on the ‘fit, but let’s move on, ok.”

The Clip: 

I cannot even tell you how much I love this. I'm a Lil Nas X Fan too, but to see someone be so brutally honest with their opinion was beyond refreshing. I mean, the man showed up in a purple dress with a fake baby bump and the entire media pretended to love it. I'm sure Joan Rivers was rolling in her grave. Granted it was awkward and ill-timed genuinely unfunny, but the fact that Jamila Mustafa said what she said is hilarious. And despite what the NY Post says, the vast majority of Twitter seemed to agree...

Lil Nas X took it in stride too. He knew he was dressed like a goober but that's what it's all about. Turning heads and making a statement, which is exactly what he did. Now, for those of you who are still shook by what the interviewer said, here's Joan Rivers on the red carpet back in the early 2000s. If you're not familiar with her work I suggest you put on headphones. Her jokes aren't exactly "appropriate" for 2021. Enjoy…
