Recent conversations and interviews with the hit rapper and singer-songwriter, Lil Nas X, highlight an interesting decision the artist made in an effort to work more on his music. Lil Nas X revealed that he turned down a major role on the HBO series Euphoria a while back for good reasons. The artist made it clear he wasn't ready to take on a role like that but would want to explore acting in the future. Working on his music and the album became a critical point for Lil Nas X so any attempts at acing would have to wait and be at the right moment.

Recently, the focus has shifted to his most recent music video release for "Industry Baby" featuring Jack Harlow. But while it would be amazing to see a future with Lil Nas X's acting skills on display, especially in something like Euphoria, we'll accept some amazing music and progress in the industry in the meantime.
