Lil Nas Xβs ( born Montero Lamar Hill) new concert documentary film Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero is the latest endeavor heβs taken on to provide even more representation and freedom to Black queer people and in a new interview with his brotherβit appears itβs done the same thing for him too.

Per Entertainment Weekly, in a part of the documentary, Nasβ sibling Tramon Hill recently opened up about how seeing his music star brother come out back in 2019 and be open about his sexuality made him βopened doorsβ for him to do the same.
βMy brother really opened doors for a lot of people,β Tramon said. βYeah, he opened a door for me. What I mean by that, like, Iβm not gay, though, you feel me? Iβm bisexual. He helped me be real with myself. My brother made me more open to it.β
He continued:
βIf you fuck with me, you fuck with me. If you donβt, you donβt. Bye. Get out of my presence. I donβt need you. At the end of the day, people are going to fuck with who they fuck with, so stop trying to chase a friend. A friend is going to always be there.β
Talk that talk, Tramon.
It looks like the Grammy award-winning artist is taking to heart and putting into the practice the wise words of the late Toni Morrison: βWhen you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.β
Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero, which made its debut at this yearβs Toronto International Film Festival, is expected to be released soon.
