“Toughest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters/ And hold back on the comments cause I promise I’m honestly better/ Than the one you just came up with/ They’re not cut out of the same cloth carved like him/They do not study or work to become as great as him,” the verse continues.
Though the song itself didn’t invite feedback on the verse, there was plenty of it on social media. His nomination for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist at the 2022 BET Awards sparked some controversy as Lil Nas X received no nominations. When asked why he deserved to be recognized at the BET Awards, he said: answered “I don’t know, maybe three of the biggest songs of the last year and a critically acclaimed album.” One of those songs was “Industry Baby,” a Lil Nas X song he featured on, but which earned Lil Nas X zero.
