<\/p>\nLil Nas X has been slammed his for his Halloween outfit this year after dressing up in a very bizarre costume.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0rapper, 24, chose to dress up as a used tampon for the spooky holiday as he headed out with pals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But some have not reacted well to the choice and have taken to social media to criticise him for ‘making light’ of issues that impact women.<\/p>\n
One said: ‘lil nas x dressing up as a bloody tampon is the most annoying thing I’ve seen tonight. he does nothing except romanticize things that give women pain.’<\/p>\n
Another said: ‘Gay men often think they can get a pass without realizing they can be equally misogynistic\u2026it’s not up to cis men to make light of things like this.’<\/p>\n

Rapper: The star – whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill – is pictured in March 2023 not in Halloween costume<\/p>\n
A third wrote: ‘Now why tf would lil nas be a bloody tampon for Halloween.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone else penned: ‘as someone who has a vagina, this is not it.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
A fifth said: ‘The way he does everything in the little power he has to be misogynistic.’<\/p>\n
Another said: ‘As a woman, I feel disrespected by his actions. Lil nas x is cancelled forever.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The star often makes a statement with his outfits and famously covered his entire body with silver paint and crystals for the Met Gala 2023.<\/p>\n
It comes after last month the star\u00a0was forced to arrive late to the premiere of his documentary, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero, due to an alleged ‘bomb threat’ during the Toronto International Film Festival.<\/p>\n
The special screening at the event was intended to take place at 10:00p.m. local time, and the music artist’s co-directors Carlos Lopez Estrada and Zac Manuel, as well as editor Andrew Morrow, had already arrived to the red carpet shortly before.<\/p>\n
However, just as the rapper arrived to the premiere, organizers were made aware of a phoned-in bomb threat that targeted the Grammy winner ‘for being a Black queer artist,’ a source claimed to\u00a0Variety – which first reported the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

The performer – who publicly came out as a gay in June 2019 – continued, ‘I feel like we live in a generation where Black queer people really control culture, and they’re helping really take the world to the next level.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
