Last week, Lil Nas X once again sparked controversy by pointing out a double standard that seemed to be at play surrounding skateboarding legend Tony Hawk's release of a skateboard infused with his literal, actual blood.
Hawk's release inspired barely a word of dissent, but Lil Nas X's similarly blood-infused shoe release back in March led to him being called "Satanic," among other things.
Naturally, this being the internet, an argument quickly ensued among the two men's fandoms--especially after Lil Nas X threw a bit of shade at Hawk by commenting "Nah he tweakin'" in the comments of one of Hawk's Instagram posts, sparking a new meme in the process.
But whatever bad blood may have existed between the two legends has apparently evaporated entirely. To prove it, the two got together for a bit of extremely impressive skateboarding (well, sort of) and the clips and videos they've posted of their meet-up have fans cheering.
After the controversy first erupted, Hawk magnanimously told reporters at a skateboarding event in Salt Lake City that he understood and respected Lil Nas X's perspective.
But that politeness has since turned into a full-fledged friendship. Both men have since repurposed Lil Nas X's "nah he tweakin" comment in the most genial ways possible in subsequent social media posts.
On Instagram, Lil Nas X switched-up his catchphrase to "nah WE tweakin" in a caption of a photo of he and Hawk. And on TikTok, Hawk posted a clip of Lil Nas X skating with the caption "Nas we tweakin!" Aww, we love these guys!
But far more impressive was the joking "skateboarding skills" Lil Nas X showed off in Hawk's TikTok post by editing Hawk into his place just in time to do the actual skateboarding.

Oh social media, people loved the joke and were all about these two guys' budding friendship.
