Hit the Old Town Road with Lil Nas X

Viral sensations within the music industry are nothing new, but Lil Nas X’s rise to fame was very swift and more successful than any new artist, ever. During its first week on the Billboard charts, it reached a peak position of No. 1 and racked up a mind-blowing 143 million streams, eclipsing the previous record set by Drake at 116 million. In July of 2019. the catchy country-rap tune set a new record for holding the number one spot on the Billboard Top 100 chart for a shocking 17 weeks. It surpassed both Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's 1995 collab, “One Sweet Day,” as well as Luis Fons, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber's 2017 hit, “Despacito.”

The 20-year-old Atlanta native makes sure to stay relevant through his consistent posts to Instagram and TikTok, where he shares videos of studio sessions, rehearsals and pictures with other famous musicians. Continue on for more photos from the insanely popular artist and don’t forget to follow him on Instagram @lilnasx.

The catchy lyrics of “Old Town Road” scored him an endorsement with Wrangler jeans. The Lil Nas X collection is on sale now.

Since the song dropped in December 2018, Lil Nas X has signed a record deal with Columbia Records, giving him the opportunity to rub shoulders with other big stars. Pictured on the left is veteran recording artist Wale.

After Billboard’s controversial decision to remove “Old Town Road” from the country charts, he enlisted country music star Billy Ray Cyrus to sing on the song’s remix. The song has since been certified platinum seven times over.

In May 2019, Lil Nas X adopted two adorable Bernese Mountain dogs. Their names are Seven and Nine.

Since his chart-topping single released, Lil Nas X has gone all in on the country music styling choices. This leather ensemble is one of many different cowboy-esque looks he’s worn on stage and at various events.

This remixed denim look by fashion designer Virgil Abloh’s Off-White label is the perfect fashion choice for the self-proclaimed country-trap star.

When this photo was taken at CMA Fest 2019, we're sure Lil Nas X was excited about his debut EP entitled “7,” which was released on all music streaming platforms in June of 2019. To keep up with the young recording artist's career, make sure to visit his website at the link below.
