Lil Nas X (1) …
Last year, Lil Nas X grabbed the headlines for days (as usual) based solely on her Halloween costume. Nas disguised himself as Nicki Minaj in the “Super Bass” music video for one of them, sending anti-gay musicians and characters into a frenzy.
This year, in Nas’ natural way, the star decided to make it big and outrageous.
One of his costumes was that of Seth Powers, a character from the Nickelodeon series Ned is declassified performed by Alex Black.
Lil Nas X (2) …
The second was Nas describing his version of Voldemort, a character from the Harry potter franchise that’s infamously known as âThe Unnamedâ through much of it, which is clearly the opposite of the âCall Me By Your Nameâ rapper.
And Lil Nas X (3) …
Lil Nas X also attended Kid Cudi’s Halloween party on Saturday. He appeared to dress like a wizard while Cudi appeared dressed as a zombie.
