On the BRIGHT SIDE OF FAME – that song almost immediately turned
him into a household name upon its release. Not only did this track
end up as the No.1 song on the charts, but it became the
longest-charting No. 1 song ever at 19 consecutive weeks at the
top. All-in-all Lil Nas X was said to have made over $14 Million in
2019 alone and he also made Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list that year as

he’s an industry plant, but his subsequent reveal that he is, in

sued him over after reports revealed that each sneaker contained –
wait, let me just double-check this, yep -- a drop of human blood.
