Although he didn’t really know of him, Ross said the flamboyant rapper should continue chasing his dreams.“I’m not familiar with the name Santana,Ross said. “But live your life, chase your dreams and go hard man. Go hard. Lil Nas X thinks otherwise, as he explained during an interview in October. The “Old Town Road” rapper spoke about his stance on Hip Hop and its acceptance of the LGBTQ community, and according to Lil Nas X the culture doesn't respect him or his art “Honestly, I don’t feel as respected in hip-hop or many music places in general,” he said. “But these are communities that I am a part of, whether people would like it or not. This is something that I wanted to do because, not that my entire album is rap, but there are rap tracks on my album. I am a rapper. I am a pop star. I am a gay artist. But it’s like, I belong in these places, you know?
