Lil Nas X Gets A Hilarious Scare While Chatting With Ellen

Can't nobody scare him with nothin'? That doesn't appear to be the case with Lil Nas X, who got more than he bargained for on a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.


The rapper took to the show to talk about some of the most incredible moments during his meteoric rise to fame along with his sexuality. Previously, Lil Nas X had confirmed he was gay earlier this year with a tweet on World Pride Day back on June 30.





“Just knowing it was something that I should have done,” he mentioned of telling the world. “But I was in a position where I had to worry about friend relative and why they would react. Nevertheless in the past year, I’m on a new level, so it doesn’t really matter, I guess."


He also indicated how it could be "good for the youngins" listening to him on the show who also may be dealing with the same situation to "know that it's alright." He didn't shy away from Ellen's question on whether he was seeing someone, either, to which he replied: "Somewhat."


However before the pair got into the meat of the discussion, Nas was already suspicious that Ellen would attempt to scare him, which is something we already know she tends to do with visitors on her show. There was a box between Nas and Ellen that, certainly, didn't seem just "right."


“Nobody’s in this box, no?” He mentioned, as Ellen continually assured him that there wasn't. That didn't mean much though, as soon as Billy Ray Cyrus himself jumped out of the box to scare the living daylights out of poor Nas. Right after some enormous laughs between the pair, Ellen explained herself in a hilarious way.


“During rehearsal, you mentioned, ‘No one’s going to scare me, right?’ And we had no intention up until you mentioned that,” mentioned Ellen. “You set the intention.”


Lesson learned here: If you're set to chat with Ellen, just don't bring up the scares. Don't do it! You visualize how it went for Nas here. Or on second thought...Maybe you've got to. You can't go wrong with these side-splitting results.
