Lil Nas X kisses one of his dancers at the BET Awards (Photo: YouTube)
Lil Nas X put on one of the best performances at last night’s BET Awards in Los Angeles, once again managing to break the internet in the process.
The 22-year-old rapper did a live version of his number one hit, “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)”. The performance had an Egyptian theme, with Lil Nax X singing live and surrounded by a group of toned male dancers.
The performance resulted in him not dancing the devil (as he infamously did in the video), but grabbing one of the dancers and kissing him passionately.
You can watch the whole routine below. The kiss comes just at the end.
The artist had little time for some people to criticize the performance.

Lil Nas X has already garnered plenty of comments on social media for showing up on the red carpet earlier in the evening wearing a silver Cinderella-like dress from Italian designer and artist Andrea Grossi.
He then changed and showed off another look: an extravagant white floral pantsuit.

Cardi B also made headlines during the awards show. She revealed during her performance with Migos that she was pregnant with her second child. Cardi is married to Migos member Offset and the two already have a daughter.
Although one of the highlights of the night, Lil Nas X was not nominated for any of the awards. Chris Brown took home the award for best “male R & B / pop artist” and Lil Baby took home the “male hip-hop artist” award.
Cardi B’s collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, “WAP” was recognized for “Best Collaboration” and “Video of the Year”. Queen Latifah won a Lifetime Achievement Award. You can view all of the winners and nominees here.
