Lil Nas X has been one of the biggest names in music since his breakthrough in 2019. He has been stirring headlines and breaking charts, which eventually earned him eleven GRAMMY nominations to date.
Lil Nas X at the GRAMMYs 2022
Montero Lamar Hill, more commonly known as Lil Nas X, earned five of the nominations this 2022. These include Album of the Year for "Montero", Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name), and Best Melodic Rap Performance for "Industry Baby" with Jack Harlow.
On what seemed to be a big night for Lil Nas X, as he is predicted to bag the Best Music Video and Best Melodic Rap Performance, turned out the other way around.
Lil Nas X left the MGM Grand Garden Arena last Sunday, Apr. 3, wheeling only an injured SZA and no Gramophones at hand. He failed to earn any of the five, including the two he is unanimously predicted to take home.
