This week on Olay & Friends, we unpack Lil Nas X’s arrest and the media circus surrounding it, plus Snoop Dogg’s comments about a so-called “gay agenda.” We get into how quickly conversations about queer artists spiral into moral panic, the double standards in hip-hop, and why these narratives keep resurfacing. It’s a real look at the culture, the backlash, and the myths people cling to when queerness enters the chat.
