Birds of a feather stick collectively, and pop famous person Adam Lambert is pleased to see the same plumage between himself and Lil Nas X.
On Tuesday night time’s episode (July 11) of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Lambert gave a shout-out to the “Industry Baby” star. When a fan requested on-air about Lambert’s response to Lil Nas thanking him for creating house for queer artists, the “Whaddaya Want From Me” singer praised the rapper’s bombastic model.
“That was very flattering that he even knows who I am,” Lambert stated. “I think he’s such a rock star, and so bold and brave, and I love what he’s doing. So I was very flattered by that,” Lambert stated.
Cohen rapidly adopted up by stating all the “crap” that Lambert needed to cope with early on in his profession as an brazenly queer artist, particularly as a performer on the 2009 American Music Awards. Lambert acknowledged his battle, however once more praised Lil Nas X for doing “racy, fabulous, edgy performances and finally getting to do that without being canceled or pulled off of a network.”
Back in 2021, Lambert instructed Billboard that seeing Lil Nas X kiss a backup dancer on the BET Awards felt like a watershed second for queer artistry. “What I love right now with Lil Nas is we need him to be outspoken about it. He is in a position where that works for him, and he’s using it.”
In flip, Lil Nas X instructed Heavy that he ended up getting to satisfy Lambert and correctly thank him for the trail he laid out for different LGBTQ artists. “I did thank him in person, actually. I really appreciate all the love that he’s shown me and I definitely don’t take it for granted,” he stated. “And I appreciate all the doors that him and people like him opened.”
