Happy birthday! Lil Nas X turns 26 today

Lil Nas X is celebrating his 26th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper-singer Lil Nas X (Montero, Old Town Road, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 26th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

X, a cultural icon

Born Montero Lamar Hill in Atlanta on April 9, 1999, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. X's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Lil Nas hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Lil Nas X as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 26.

Happy Birthday, Lil Nas, you're the best!
