He didn’t just make this up out of no where; he’s responding to fans tweeting him saying they cannot access it.

I’m not saying to panic, but to imply he’s lying for streams is uncalled for. This so far seems to be a region based occurrence, and I think it’s fair to assume/prep for something happening in the U.S (though things get blocked outside the U.S all the time); it seems like Nas wasn’t involved in any discussions around it getting removed, so he’s just playing it safe lmao If you are outside the U.S, I would try screen recording the song if you like bopping to it✨

It’s true; my family has an Apple Music subscription, and I just tried to listen to it. This is what I got–

Corporations will always prioritize their homophobic, racist consumer bases. There are so many songs that have much worse content, yet I can listen to them without issue. If it’s about the sexual content, why can I still listen to Dead Girl Walking, a song centered entirely around high schoolers having sex? If it’s about the swearing, why can I still listen to all those other songs tagged as explicit? This is purely because Lil Nas X is a black, gay man who made some conservatives complain.
