Hello There, this is Guillaume. This is a bit outside of what we usually talk about, however, I have been in the music industry for almost a decade and have been quite curious about Lil Nas X.

Here is the full version of the article: What artists can learn from Lil Nas X.

To keep this article short, where did his name come from?

Short Version:
Lil: Commonly Used in Rap.
Nas: Internet Alias.
X: Added when he got serious.

Detailed Version:
Lil: Commonly used in Rap. He added, “I kind of got stuck with it”.
Nas: Internet Alias, here he talks about using ‘Nas’ in his name.
X: Was added when he got serious, x = 10. Where he wants to be in 10 years. Even beyond music “something that I can’t even imagine right now.”

That’s pretty much it, I am not going to rumble on with info you do not care about. However, if you are interested to learn more about what Lil Nas X did to grow since the release of Old Town Road, check out the full article.

Thank you,

Guillaume
