Lil Nas X Performed ‘Old Town Road’ With Diplo And Billy Ray, And It Was Bonkers
Can we get a yee-haw?
In the past few months, Lil Nas X has gone from being the owner of a Nicki Minaj fan twitter that wrote interactive stories into being the voice behind one of 2019’s biggest hits, ‘Old Town Road’.
And now, after breaking records and dominating the charts to the point where even Taylor Swift’s new single might land at #2, he’s performed live for the very first time. The moment happened at country music’s Stagecoach festival, which takes over the Coachella grounds at Indio, California one weekend later.
Lil Nas X (real name Montero Lamar Hill) wasn’t slated to perform: after all, he has one song. But Diplo was — and he just released his EDM remix of ‘Old Town Road’. See where this is going?
Diplo first bought out Billy Ray Cyrus — who features on the song’s original remix — before Lil Nas made an appearance.
Watch the very cute moment below, featuring Diplo DJ from behind a hay bale-deck.
