Overview
- Lil Nas X’s interview on TS Madison’s Outlaws podcast, released Tuesday, was recorded in February 2025 months before his August arrest.
- He says he identifies as gay and “99%” leans toward men, while noting occasional emotional attraction to women and that he has never had sex with a woman.
- He adds he would not rule out an encounter with a woman in the right circumstance and says he is not trying to limit himself.
- He describes pulling away from friends and even his team for much of the year before the taping, then starting to rebuild support while working on self-acceptance after intense public scrutiny.
- In April 2026, a California judge called his August 2025 conduct aberrant, tied it to a bipolar diagnosis, and placed him in a mental-health diversion program that could dismiss charges if he completes treatment and stays out of legal trouble for two years.
