- Social media platforms became a battleground for differing opinions.
- Nas X remains silent about the latest accusation.
Lil Nas X is no stranger to the spotlight, but this time, it’s his artwork that’s causing a stir. The rapper’s promotional material for his upcoming project ‘Dreamboy’ has been criticized for its similarity to Sega Bodega’s ‘Angel on my Shoulder’ artwork. This has sparked quite a conversation online.
The artwork in question showcases Lil Nas X at a desktop computer in a wood-paneled room, with a mysterious figure bathed in white light. Fans and critics couldn’t help but notice how it mirrors Sega Bodega’s previous work, which features a similar setup.
Sega Bodega was quick to call out the resemblance, taking to social media to express his displeasure. He tweeted, ‘Not even trying to put a spin on it is where I’m like yeesh,’ indicating his frustration over the situation.
Fans of Sega Bodega stood by him, voicing their disappointment over the perceived lack of originality in Nas X’s art. Meanwhile, others argued that Sega should appreciate the nod from Lil Nas X, despite the absence of explicit credit.
Yet, this isn’t the only drama surrounding Lil Nas X lately. He found himself in another spat after Azealia Banks critiqued his music on social media. Lil Nas X fired back in his typical bold style, though those comments have since been deleted.
Despite the noise, Lil Nas X hasn’t addressed Sega Bodega’s accusations directly, perhaps choosing to let the work speak for itself. This silence leaves fans wondering how the situation will unfold.
Time will tell if Lil Nas X will respond or let his art do all the talking.
