Lil Nas X revealed Friday that he has COVID-19 but the singer seems to be doing okay. In a series of tweets that have since been deleted he described some NSFW symptoms, and wrote: “now that i’m sure i won’t die from covid i will now begin making mildly funny jokes about having it.” Lil Nas announced on Twitter after finding out he was on Barack Obama’s Favorite Music of 2021 list.
Per Billboard, he shared Obama’s tweet and added, “started running around the house when I saw this then i remembered i have covid lol.”The new strain of COVID is called “Omnicron” but it’s become an ongoing joke on Twitter to call it the “Omariont” after the R&B singer.
