Well despite that embarrassment, Lil Nas X was still feeling pretty confident about his performance on SNL, so much so that afterwards he tried to shoot his shot with an SNL staffer
He said in an interview with New York Times Magazine that he sent a message to someone working the show that night… and asked them out. who then “respectfully knocked that shot out of the air.” due to them already being in a relationship. Lil Nas X appreciated their honesty, but definitely felt a hit to his ego since reportedly people “throw themselves” at him all the time and he wasn’t expecting to be rejecting. He went on to say “I was like, ‘Damn, you’re that loyal? I love it. You forget sometimes that people are, like, really loyal, and it’s like, I want to do that.”
He went on to admit that the ego blow caused him to leave the SNL afterparty early so he could give himself a pep talk in the hotel room.
