LIL NAS X GETS PRANKED BY ERIC ANDRÉ IN BIZARRE ‘ERIC ANDRÉ SHOW’ TEASER

Lil Nas X has helped comedian Eric André celebrate the season six premiere of his eponymous show — even though he found himself unwittingly at the center of a bizarre prank.

In the teaser video for the upcoming season premiere of The Eric André Show — which dropped on Monday (May 22) — the “Old Town Road” performer comes out swinging, asking the comedian provocative questions like “do you believe in the Illuminati?”

But by the end of the clip, André turns the tables on Lil Nas X, eventually concluding by asking questions with drool dripping out of his mouth.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” he asked André.

André told Rolling Stone that despite Lil Nas X’s reputation of being a professional troll, he was deeply affected by the way things went.

“It was great because he’s very sensitive, so he was easily affected by every prank we threw at him. He’s kind of the ideal guest,” he said.

The Eric André Show premieres on Cartoon Network’s adult swim on June 4.

In related Lil Nas X news, he recently clapped back at social media personality Woah Vicky‘s recent claims about him — and threw Ja Rule under the proverbial bus in the process.

After telling the host of the We in Miami podcast that the “Montero” rapper needs Jesus, Vicky made a barn burner of a claim.

“I got something to say about Lil Nas X too,” she said. “I got a few friends that went to school with him, and they said he was never gay. So I know for a fact that what he’s doing is ’cause they, like, told him, like, you gotta do this now if you want … I feel like nobody’s really gay, in Jesus’s name, amen.”

That prompted Lil Nas X to take to Twitter and address the claim directly. “Who gives af what ja rule thinks at a time like this,” he wrote.

This isn’t the first time Lil Nas X has had to address rumors about his sexuality. In March, he had to respond to a pair of Twitter users who called his sexuality into question after a clip from a recent performance went viral.

A self-described Nicki Minaj “stan” account posted a clip of Lil Nas X’s set at Lollapalooza Chile, during which he performed a new Saucy Santana-assisted single, while rocking a cornrowed ponytail hairstyle and twerking on stage with his backup dancers.

The clip was paired with a caption that read: “I feel like he’s not really gay or not really that feminine it’s so forced.”

The “Montero” rapper quoted the original tweet, adding a sarcastic and dismissive caption of his own: “Oh no guys it’s the estrogen expert.”
