Contents

As mentioned above, Lil Nas X was born and brought up in Lithia Springs, Georgia but he has never revealed where he currently lives. He was born on 9 April 1999, making him 25 years old as of June 2024 and 18 years old when he released his breakout song hit, "Old Town Road" in 2018. The singer also bought his first house in 2021 although he has never revealed where he bought it.

Lil Nas X's parents are Robert Stafford and Tamikia Hill. His father, Robert Stafford, pursued a career as a gospel singer, while his mother, Tamikia Hill, worked in banking. Lil Nas X has openly discussed his strong bond with his mother, regularly expressing gratitude for her unwavering support throughout his journey.

His parents divorced when he was six years old and after initially living with his mother and grandmother, he moved in with his father three years later. The decision was made because Nas believed that he would have fallen in with the wrong crowd if he stayed in Atalanta.

In a 2019 interview, he credited his mother for helping him embrace his sexuality with acceptance and understanding. Although less visible in the media, Lil Nas X has mentioned his father, Robert Stafford, in various interviews and social media posts. His family has consistently supported his career and his decision to come out as gay, with Lil Nas X often sharing glimpses of their close-knit relationship on social platforms.

Lil Nas X earned his breakthrough via his hit “Old Town Road” in 2018 but was popular on Twitter before that. He reportedly created and ran several Nicki Minaj fan accounts.

X (formerly known as Twitter)

Lil Nas X's early online presence was marked by his active involvement on Twitter, where he managed fan accounts dedicated to Nicki Minaj during his teenage years. He spent considerable time crafting an internet persona and engaging in creating popular "scenario threads" that gained attention.

However, one of his accounts, @NasMaraj, was later suspended due to violations related to "Tweetdecking." Nas moved on from that account to another (@NasMarai) with his own official account, a repurposed version of the same with a different handle. His current account on X has over 7 million followers under the handle @LilNasX.

As Lil Nas X, born Montero Lamar Hill, was born in Georgia, USA, it makes him an American citizen and while he was an atheist, Nas revealed that he was entering his “Christian era”.
