Musicians are under an incredible amount of pressure when performing on stage, but as Lil Nas X proved, when you gotta go you gotta go.

The Industry Baby singer was playing to thousands at a concert in Atlanta this week as he tours the US off the back of the major success he’s enjoyed in recent years.

First finding fame through his first hit, Old Town Road, going mega viral and picked up by the likes of Billy Ray Cyrus in 2019, Lil Nas has been going from strength to strength since.

But despite having millions of fans worldwide, Nas is only human, and when nature calls, you answer.

In a video taken by a fan at the concert, Nas – who is not on stage – can be heard talking over speakers being projected to the audience.

He announced he was going to have to have a brief intermission at the gig, telling fans: ‘I’m backstage, and this is like, not part of the show, but I’m taking a mean s***.

‘So I’m going to be a minute or two. I’ll be right back.’

The announcement drew laughter from some in the crowd, the sheer bizarre nature of Nas’ words exacerbated by the mystical atmosphere in the room, with starlight and magical-sounding keyboards projected to the audience.

However Nas later took to Twitter to clarify that this was not a joke – he was dead serious.

‘Lmao people really thought I was joking,’ he wrote after the show.

‘I was literally back there dropping demons into that toilet.’

The American rapper, who is himself from Atlanta, has previously made headlines during his tour with his trademark attitude and one liners.

This week alone, the star had fans in stitches when he warned crowds not to take ‘poppers’ at his shows – in the most Lil Nas X way possible.

Poppers, a type of inhalant containing amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite, can give users a head rush, as well as muscle relaxation, which they are well known for.

And Nas, sending a message out to his fans, referenced this by saying: ‘Stop doing poppers at my concert!
