Lil Nas X on what Dave East is saying: "I do not give a fuck about what Dave East is saying.”
East said “Old Town Road” was “wack” recently, but Lil Nas X isn’t paying attention.
"Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X is the No. 1 song in the United States, but not everyone's a fan: New York City rapper Dave East recently blasted the song as "fucking wack" in an Instagram Live session.
When asked about East's comments during an appearance on The Zach Sang Show, Nas X brushed them off. "I honestly have gotten this question so many, it's like, I have the No. 1 song in the country," he said. "I do not give a fuck about what Dave East is saying." That's fair!

Dave East wasn't the only person caught off-guard by the surprising success of "Old Town Road." The song's profile grew after it was pulled by Billboard from the Hot Country Songs chart, a move that prompted criticism and accusations of racial bias. A remix from Billy Ray Cyrus helped boost the song to the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 chart, and eventually the tune broke the record for most streams in a week, a milestone set by Drake.
