Halloween celebrations may have been different this year, but people still showed out in their costumes. 21-year-old Panini rapper Lil Nas X was one of many stars who went all out for Halloween this year.

The record-breaking star wore an outstanding Nicki Minaj inspired outfit to pay homage to the Queen. Lil Nas X had every detail of the Superbass outfit perfected down to the blonde and pink wig with the bangs.

Fan Reactions To The Brilliant Outfit

Fans praised the multi-genre rapper’s Halloween efforts as soon as he posted the images on Twitter. Many of them pointed out his perfect use and sourcing of props and the immaculate beauty job.

Every curve in the slinky bodysuit sat in the right place and had fans wondering how he got it so precise. Twitter comments flooded with positive feedback until a couple of music industry haters ruined the fun.

Although there were hundreds of positive comments on the rapper’s outfit, the negative ones stood out. Rapper Dave East shared Lil Nas’s ensemble on his Instagram story and captioned it with a homophobic slur.
