In 2018, he dropped out of college during his freshman year to pursue music full-time. On July 24, 2018, he released his debut mixtape titled 'NASARATI'. His breakthrough came in 2019, when his single "Old Town Road" went viral on TikTok and became a number one hit, both in the US and internationally. The song also caused controversy when it was disqualified from the Billboard country chart, and was later remixed featuring country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

On April 3, 2019, it was revealed on Michael McCrudden’s popular YouTube show, “Before They Were Famous”, how Lil Nas X got his rap name. On May 13, 2019, Billboard confirmed Lil Nas X signed with CAA for worldwide representation. He released his debut EP, 7 EP, on June 21, 2019.

In January 2021, his hit song "Old Town Road" set a record as the highest certified song ever by the RIAA with 14-times platinum status in the United States, meaning it accumulated 14 million in equivalent song units. Later that month, Lil Nas X released a children's ABC picture book named 'C is For Country'.

On March 26, 2021, he released the single “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)”, which was followed by the announcement of his upcoming debut studio album, MONTERO, released on September 17, 2021. The album includes 15 tracks and features from Doja Cat, Elton John, Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion and Miley Cyrus.

Lil Nas X has achieved great success in his career and is considered one of the most influential figures in modern music.

Thing that wrecks me the most, it the fact that both songs are about completely opposite things - dramatic plead for love and bitter breakup. They appear to argue over it!

The first time I heard "That's What I Want", I knew it was sampling "Hey Ya!" from nearly 20 years ago... Yet there seems no official acknowledgement of this fact.

Yeah he definitely copied hey ya when he made that song

@FreeSpiritPaulette

@@twenty2twenty216 if y’all think this sounds like hey ya, listen to Rae sremmurd black Beatles. The beginning chord progression is exactly the same, and people have done mashups of it and hey ya as well as this song.
