Rapper Lil Nas X sent pizza to a group of 'homophobic' religious protesters outside his concert, and now he says he's falling in love with one of them. The 23-year-old rapper, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, performed at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway on Sunday, September 20. Across the street from the venue's entrance, a small group of Christian protestors convened to spout their bigoted messaging at those lined up for the show.

Retweeting a video taken by one of his fans, Lil Nas X joked that the protesters offered "really good promo," noting that he'd "just told my team to send them pizza".

A few minutes later, Lil Nas X quipped that he "can't stop thinking about the cute homophobic guy that was protesting my concert last night". The 'Old Town Road' artiste continued joking, "I just know we had a connection. I miss him so much man. I'm nothing without him."
