After openly accepting that he was gay, American rapper Lil Nas X has continuously faced homophobic comments and criticism. And the rapper met the same thing during a recent event. But the rapper did not get triggered or angry this time but offered pizzas to his homophobic protestors.

Recently, Lil Nas X was in Boston, Massachusetts, for a tour when he faced the latest criticism. A group of "state ministry" protestors were holding a picket sign demanding to ban Lil Nas X and asking him to repent and believe in the gospel. However, the Montero rapper opted for an unusual gesture and did the most Christian thing.

Lil Nas X offered protestors a pizza to eat while protesting him. The homophobic protestors did not accept the pizzas since they came from the staff of the rapper.





Meanwhile, Lil Nas X took advantage of the situation by giving it a positive turn.
