Lil Nas X has responded to Dave East and 50 Cent after the rappers mocked his incredible Nicki Minaj Halloween costume.
Over the weekend, the two-time Grammy winner perfectly recreated a look from Minaj’s 2010 music video for “Super Bass”.
While the costume received a hugely positive reaction from fans, it seemed that not everyone was impressed by his dress-up efforts.
Taking issue with Lil Nas’ look, East wrote on Twitter, “And y’all was mad at me about this n***a.”

He added, “Bati mon bun up!!!!’ The term “Batty man” is a homophobic slur that originated from Jamaica.
50 Cent also joined in on making fun of the costume.
“What the f**k, Nikki [sic] come get him!!! Lol,” said the artist while re-tweeting a photo of Lil Nas wearing the skin-tight pink outfit.
Lil Nas, who is openly gay, hit back writing, “It’s november 2nd and grown men are waking up to have group discussions about a costume i wore on halloween.”
