During your Fall over interview, Lil Nas – whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill – also spoke about the origins of his stage name.
“I didn’t use Montero as my stage name because Nas is my nickname on the Internet,” he explained. “When I started making music, I thought, ‘I want to have fun with this.’ Every new rapper was called Lil, Lil, Lil – what if I was Lil Nas? Ha, ha, ha, it would be funny. So I thought, ‘Okay, I bet. I will be Lil Nas. ‘ I added the X later. “
The rapper, who appeared on the dawn show to discuss his new children’s book, C is for country, also gave fans an update on what to expect from their new album.
