It’s a blend of two different worlds as Lil Nas X and Youngboy Never Broke Again collaborate for the new single “Late To Da Party.”

The new single was created with Younboy currently on house arrest, leading to Lil Nas creatively getting off his meme and trolling mastery, with a blend of video editing to create the official video for the single.

“Late To Da Party” is the first single from Lil Nas X since his debut album Montero. The cover art features someone urinating on a BET Award, following a back and forth with the awards show on Twitter.

Lil Nas X will go on his headlining tour this summer. Until then you can tap into the new single below.

Lil Nas X And NBA Youngboy Are Not Upset About Those ‘Late To Da Party’ On Their Lively New Single

Lil Nas X and Youngboy Never Broke Again are in full troll mode on their latest single, and first collaboration, “Late To Da Party.” The song opens with the “Panini” artist repeating “F*ck BET” emphatically before making allusions to sex and allowing NBA Youngboy to join the fun. It’s the pop-rap hybrid one can expect from Nas at this point, but a refreshing pairing with the “Need It” artist for sure.

Lil Nas X made headlines recently for his now-deleted tweets taking aim at BET for not nominating him for a single award ahead of the upcoming 2022 BET Awards. He then doubled down by posting a clip lip-syncing the aforementioned “F*ck BET” he says on “Late To Da Party.” The “Old Town Road” artist took issue with the fact he could not be recognized by his own people despite the hardships that Black LGBTQIA+ people have to face. In a second clip, he played the “Nevada” artist’s portion of the song.

Though he was taken aback by BET overlooking him, the two-time Grammy winner is riding a huge wave of momentum. 2021’s Montero was a major success, backed by the chart-topping, Grammy-nominated “Industry Baby” featuring Jack Harlow. Youngboy, a known frequent releaser, is already two projects in at just over the half-year mark. All in all, they can’t complain.
