Lil Nas X

honestly, he leaned too much into his sexuality. Especially since he didnt read the room as the world turned a bit more right. its not his fault per se, but if he "adjusted" accordingly with his antics i dont think he'd have had aa huge fall off.
That may be part of it. I've been waiting for a chance to say this but although he clearly loves doing the fem thing often, he pulls off masc just as well. He presents as equally comfortable doing both. That's why I don't think to say he should lean into being sexy in a masc way more often would be 'making him play a role,' because clearly he's more than fine to do that. His vocal style, gym-built body and cockiness (all choices of his) is very masc. In that way I'd agree, him leaning so far into his sexuality (at least the fem side) was more of a branding thing, which maybe hasn't paid off long term.
 
People can express themselves without it being a gimmick.

He’s rich. He’s being who he wants to be and presenting that to the world.

Whether it’s marketable shouldn’t be the focus. It’s real.
I agree in a way. He can absolutely do that. But I think he clearly also wants to be popular. Artists who stay stuck on being 'out there' forever don't seem to last that long. Look what happened to Katy Perry, or the very short longevity of Gaga's reign at the top. But I agree, it's his choice (or funeral, however you want to look at it :p).

Um, wut?!
 
So attracted to him it's insane. And all that dick just hanging down, that shit would look so good all swelled up as he's riding the hell out of you. Dick that looks so good it still makes you want to put your mouth on it as he's busting even as you're fucking him like you want to get him pregnant.

Oh damn, I've said too much. :yum
