Lil Nas X has always been a provocative artist. Whether it was causing controversy on the country charts, kissing one of his backup dancers during a live performance or calling out BET for excluding him earlier this year from their awards show, the βMontero (Call Me By Your Name)β singer knows how to push buttons.

He yet again found himself at the center of outrage when a conservative group in Boston protested his show on Sunday. However, instead of letting this deter him, Nas made the most out of the situation. βSo peopel [sic] were protesting my concert last night,β the controversial rapper, 23, stated over a TikTok video. βSo we brought them pizza.β
In addition, he reposted a video of the protesters on Twitter with a caption that stated: βJust told my team to send them pizza, this is really good promo!β
The religious group, or βstreet ministry,β held signs that read βRepent and Believe the Gospelβ and βJesus is God, even demons know it.β Just a few hours later, the rapper posted yet another video. This time it was his team delivering free pizza to the group, who refused to accept.
Halfway through the clip, the camera slows down and focuses on one of the protesters wearing a shirt that says βChristβs Forgiveness Ministries Revival,β while Sufjan Stevensβ βMystery of Loveβ plays in the background. Lil Nas X commented: βupdate: they didnβt want the pizza but i accidentally fell in love with one of the homophobic protestors.β
Nas is currently on his βLong Live Monteroβ tour, which are his first headlining dates. Upcoming stops include New York Cityβs Radio City Music Hall, as well as Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Nashville, Orlando, Miami, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco.
