‘Montero’ crooner Lil Nas X has reacted to critics who flooded his official social media time-line to slam him after his drug addict mother was seen in a viral video begging for money and food on the street of Atlanta.
Lil Nas X received a series of heavy backlash after a video of his addict mother on the streets, made its way online but the singer says he hates to speak about his personal life.
According to him, he cried himself to sleep for many nights feeling guilty because nothing he tried would help his mom.
“I hate to speak on my personal life, but y’all niggas don’t know how many nights I’ve cried myself to sleep feeling guilty because nothing I tried would help my mom. Paint me as the bad guy all you want but at the end of the day you don’t know me outside of this internet shit,” he tweeted.
Lil Nas X’s father Robert Stafford also came to his son’s defense when he wrote thus on Instagram; “Despite what people say @lilnasx is the greatest kid a parent can be BLESSED with,” Stafford’s IG caption begins. “Although his mom is in a struggle with an addiction she’s STILL a QUEEN and he goes through great lengths to make sure we’re taking care of.
Those who have family members and friends dealing with addiction understand that there ain’t enough money you can throw at this situation to make it right. I don’t usually address personal issues publicly but felt like this needed to be. Please join us in keeping her in your PRAYERS. And to those out there trying to create a false story you won’t prosper. #controlthenarrative.”
