Social media users have taken to the microblogging platform, Twitter, to lambaste fashion model Denola Grey after he said Nigerians were going to be outraged following the release of rapper Lil Nas X music video.

Recall that American rapper Lil Nas X released a new music video “Montero” (Call Me By My Name) on March 26, 2021, which has caused quite a stir online.

Reacting to the music video, Denola who seemed to have so much compassion for the queer community said he supports Lil Nas because he is doing something unheard of in the rap community.

He tweeted;

“Lol Nigerians are going to lose their shit over Lil Nas X’s new video and honestly that’s their business. I Stan the young fellow. He’s doing something unheard of in the rap community. It’s going to mean so much to a lot of queer youth.”

His reaction didn’t go unnoticed as fans took to Twitter to question him and to demand he reveals his stance on queers.

Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities who are not heterosexual or are not cisgender.

A fan on Twitter, @Bagofnuts asked Denola to come out straight if he is queer and stop stressing Nigerians with his tweets.

Lmao alaye if you want to tell us you’re queer, just say it ni and don’t stress us. Since when did Nigerians start to GAF about Lil Nas and whatever he does in his videos. Plis plis 😭 https://t.co/ZXqbuSH4TO

Another Twitter user, @chemicalbrodar, queried him as to why he didn’t speak up when a Nigerian queer man was protesting last week.

There was a queer Nigerian man protesting last week, you didn’t say any word on it but somehow you seem to think Lil Nas X video is more important to Nigerians 😂 https://t.co/qOaV3V1OsT

Lool. If they lose their shit over Lil Nas new video, it won’t affect him in anyway, Dens.
Now, a Nigerian queer man was at ABJ protesting and you didn’t tweet in support of him when it can go a long way.
