"She made me feel so great": Lil Nas X shows love to Camila Cabello

Lil Nas X and Camila Cabello share more than just a professional connection—they have built a strong friendship rooted in mutual support. The rapper, known for his bold artistic expression and fearless approach to music, recently opened up about how Cabello played a crucial role in helping him regain confidence during a difficult phase in his personal and professional life.

Lil Nas said,

“It was fun hanging out with Camila, because that was the beginning of me getting comfortable going out to places. It was just genuine fun. It didn’t feel like work. Camila made me feel so good, she made me feel so great. And that was the beginning of me getting my confidence back. To finally be at this place, where I’m like, ‘OK, I know who the fuck I am. I know where I’m going. I don’t care what none of these bitches say. I didn’t care at first. Why do I care now?'”

Lil Nas X and Camila Cabello’s collaboration and friendship

One of the defining moments in Lil Nas X's friendship with Cabello was their collaboration on her song “He Knows." The track, accompanied by a lively music video featuring the two artists comically vying for the same love interest, marked a turning point for Lil Nas X.

He told Paper magazine,

“We did a great job at uplifting each other and showing each other how we view the situation and how we view each other from outside of ourselves. Once you made up your mind: ‘Oh, the world doesn’t see me as something great or feels like I’ve done anything amazing.‘”

Cabello, too, holds Lil Nas X in high regard.

During an interview with Rolling Stone, Cabello said she and the rapper have been “supportive of each other for years.”

She continued,

“He is unapologetically himself. He’s a true, fucking great artist. He’s the kind of artist where it’s more than just the song. He puts thought and care into the performance. He plays with the fans. He cares about the music video and making a statement.”

Their friendship took a twist no one saw coming when they found themselves in an elevator locked up for hours right before West Hollywood got all fancy. According to Cabello, while many around them panicked, she and Lil Nas X turned to humor to get through the ordeal. This shared experience deepened their bond and made them closer friends.
