Lil Nas X marked the final day of Pride Month by urging his fans to pay attention to one song that talks all about his own sexuality.

“Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone [f-ck with me] no more,” he wrote on Twitter Sunday, “but before this month ends I want y’all to listen closely to ‘c7osure.'”

On the track, the rapper says: “Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow/No more red light for me, baby, only green, I gotta go/Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take a hold/This is what I gotta do, can’t be regretting when I’m old.”

The rapper clearly didn’t make it thaaaat obvious since he had to write yet another clarifying tweet. This time, many fans believed he was claiming what’s defined as bisexuality although he’s yet to use any identifier to define his sexuality.

Later Monday, Nas wrote: “just cuz i’m gay don’t mean i’m not straight.”
