Discussion about Lil Nas X's performance of "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" at the BET awards, which culminated in a gay kiss, is ongoing.

After several people compared it to the Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears kiss that took place at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Madonna herself weighed in on the moment.

People initially did not react kindly to Madonna's response.





But Nas wasn't having it.

Replying to the PopCrave tweet, he simply said:

"Me and madonna are friends. It's just a joke."




Madonna has received a fair bit of negative press over the last year, after a now-deleted post where she delivered a speech about how the virus and ongoing pandemic were the "great equalizer," shared from her Soho, UK apartment in a rose petal-filled tub.





Madonna and Lil Nas X appeared to strike up their friendship on the LA stop of Madonna's Madame X tour.

She and Nas then sat down together on stage, where he sang a bit of "Old Town Road" and she told him she would "teach [him] how to ride" horses at her horse ranch.

Both artists are well-known for their boundary pushing—but the public may have more of an appetite for Nas' than for Madonna's work lately.

HOA Sparks Debate After Sending Letter Telling People Not To Hand Out Full-Size Candy Bars On Halloween

Within our communities, it's important to make everyone feel welcome and included, and sometimes that means making changes so that everyone can afford to be included. But sometimes changes are made simply because someone with the power to change it doesn't want to do something.

The question is whether changes are being made for inclusivity or convenience.

Fired TikToker Shares Bonkers Behind-The-Scene Stories About What It Was Like Working At Walmart

Whether or not we've ever worked there, we've all heard horror stories and seen internet memes about "people at Walmart" and the weird things that often happen within the oversized chain convenience store.

TikToker Kae, or @lolxdlolxdlolxd23455 on the platform, worked at Walmart for more than six months and ultimately was fired because he'd accidentally logged his PTO time incorrectly and also requested multiple days off,—but he'd intended to quit anyway given his unpleasant time working there.
