He’s no stranger to writing songs about love and lust, however, Lil Nas X struggling to move on from his recent split from a music video co-star.
The Industry Baby hitmaker, 22, confirmed his single status just days ago, and he’s now opening up about his most recent relationship.
Lil Nas dated Yai Ariza, his co-star in his That’s What I Want music video, but their romance is no more.
Speaking to on SiriusXM’s Hits 1 LA, the musician shared: ‘We were dating and we are still on very good terms.’
The Grammy winner wants to focus on his career for now, but he isn’t ruling out a reunion in the future.
‘You know, we may date again, I’m sure,’ he added.
‘I love him, he is amazing. I wanted to kind of focus on my music right now.’
But he still has feelings for Yai, referring to him as ‘the best person I have ever dated’ and confessing: ‘I am still very much in love, but I’m trying to manage, you know?’
The split may still be fresh, but a reconciliation remains on the cards, as the singer said ‘it will happen in the future’ but only ‘if it’s meant to be.’
The pair seem to have dated through summer as, in August, the star admitted that he’d ‘found someone special’ who he thought was ‘the one.’
Lil Nas’ revelation comes after his interview with Andy Cohen, where he announced that he is single, but didn’t share the identity of his ex.
He confirmed that it was his decision to end the relationship, saying: ‘I was seeing someone, [but] I kind of decided I don’t want to anymore.’
It seems the rapper is content with simply being the hottest name in music right now while being down to ‘kiss a guy every blue moon.’
Yai stars alongside Lil Nas X in the video for his latest single from his debut album Montero.
The record has been a massive hit, already approaching two billion Spotify streams and debuted at no. 2 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart.
