The explanation came hours after the 23-year-old posted a photo of influencer Glow Princess — whose real name is Armanda Tounghui — to his social media pages.

“the surgery was a success,” he captioned the flick, inferring that he had recently undergone gender-affirming surgery.

However, the joke didn’t sit right with many of his followers, who called out the Grammy winner for making the trans community the “punchline of a joke” in light of the recent anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation.

After taking some time to cool off, Lil Nas X — whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill — issued the apology and deleted his previous tweets.

The “Industry Baby” rapper — who came out as gay in 2019 — is no stranger when it comes to stirring up controversy.

Back in 2021, the rapper received backlash from religious groups after releasing a raunchy music video for his song “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name).”

Many conservative groups claimed he was promoting “gay agendas and demonic visuals” in the video — in which he slid into hell down a stripper pole, became a sex slave and gave Satan a lap dance.

In fact, a group of “street ministry” protestors even showed up outside one of his concerts last year to try and shut down the show.
