Earlier this month (July 1), 'Old Town Road' became the longest-running hip-hop Number One of all time in the US. It has topped the charts for 14 weeks and has beaten the likes of Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' and Black Eyed Peas' 'Boom Boom Pow' to the achievement.
Late last month, Nas X followed the viral hit with his '7' EP and the single 'Panini', which interpolates Nirvana's 'In Bloom'. He also recently came out as gay, saying he hopes he is "opening doors" for others by making his sexuality public.
He also made a surprise appearance at Glastonbury 2019, when he and Billy Ray Cyrus joined Miley Cyrus on the Pyramid Stage to perform 'Old Town Road'. Nas X also delivered a solo performance of 'Panini' before leaving the stage.
