Disturbed’s David Draiman Blasts Conservative TV Host for His Lil Nas X Criticism

David Draiman, the lead singer for the rock band Disturbed, got here to the protection of Lil Nas X this week after conservative TV host Greg Kelly condemned the rapper on Twitter.

In an April 4 tweet, Kelly, a speaking head for the conservative channel Newsmax TV, appeared to equate the overtly homosexual entertainer with a perceived corruption in American tradition when he known as the rapper a idiot “with zero expertise.” The comment accompanied a picture of Lil Nas X performing in an ornate half-shirt at Sunday’s (April 3) sixty fourth Annual Grammy Awards.

Tagging Kelly’s account, Draiman responded in a tweet on Tuesday (April 5), “Information flash @gregkellyusa, artists have been doing issues like this for many years. Unsure why it bothers you when @LilNasX does it. Do not prefer it? Do not watch. You be you @LilNasX.”

For his half, Lil Nas X had already replied to the TV persona, “rattling greg all i did was put on a crop prime this time.” He appended his retort with flippant sobbing emojis.

Kelly’s authentic tweet from Monday stated, “Lil NAS has a BIG PROBLEM (And so does America) — knock your self out NAS. You are just a little FOOL with zero expertise!!!!”

As instructed by BuzzFeed, it is unclear why the Newsmax host was so incensed at Lil Nas X and, presumably, his Grammys efficiency, aside from a common distaste for the implicated immodesty. Conservative voices have spoken out in opposition to Lil Nas X earlier than, equivalent to when the rapper’s restricted “Devil Footwear,” which had been rapidly taken off the market, despatched social media right into a frenzy.

Like Kelly, Draiman usually makes use of Twitter to communicate his thoughts on present points. The Disturbed singer just lately reinstated his account after taking a sabbatical from the social community. Disturbed are at the moment engaged on a brand new album, their follow-up to 2018’s Evolution.
