The rapper Pastor Troy went on a long homophobic rant against Lil Nas X on Instagram in a post that has since been deleted.
Lil Nas X, who came out as gay last year, shut the rapper down with a reply on Twitter: "damn I look good in that pic on god."
The Grammy winner also defended his choice of outfits: "some people like it, some people don't."
Lil Nas X responded in perhaps the best way possible to a lengthy homophobic rant from the rapper Pastor Troy.
In a tirade of abuse posted on Instagram on Wednesday, Pastor Troy wrote: "Welp, Guess I won't be winning a GRAMMY…If this what I gotta wear," a reference to Lil Nas X's all-pink ensemble at Sunday's Grammy Awards.
Lil Nas X, who came out as gay last year, captured a screenshot of the Instagram post, which has since been deleted, and tweeted it alongside a photo of himself at the Grammys. He shut down the rapper with a simple caption: "damn i look good in that pic on god."

In the post, which was put up three hours before Lil Nas X responded, Pastor Troy said: "They love to push this s--- on Our Kids!! The other day @applebees had some punks kissing and laughing eating mozzarella sticks. First Thing My 14 yr old Son said was, 'F---- Applebee's' And It Brought Joy to My Heart!! He sees it…their agenda to take the masculinity from Men, Black Men Especially."
He added: "Y'all Better open that 3rd Eye and let your Sons Know What Is Real…Or They Ass Gone Be Headed Down That Old Town Road Foreal!!~P.T." He ended with the hashtags "#BlackOwnedandIndependent," "#NotMySons," "#ItAintWorthIt," "#Taketheroadlesstraveled," "#Youwillstillgetthere," "#DSGB," and "#Wontbeonmypagelong."
Lil Nas X posted another tweet a few hours later mocking Pastor Troy, joking about the "mozzarella sticks" line in the rapper's original post.

While Lil Nas X drew mostly support from his Twitter followers, some did choose to criticize his all-pink outfit.
One Twitter user with the handle @MrKlassic76 replied to the Grammy winner: "There is nothing wrong with you being gay it's cool, just chill with these crazy ass outfits, your hurting yourself not helping yourself. Respect yourself bro."
Lil Nas X responded to the tweet writing: "I have the upmost respect for myself. I wouldn't do anything i wasn't comfortable with."
