In a recent interview with TIME, X credited Thugger for starting the “country trap” movement. “I believe whenever you’re trying something new, it’s always going to get some kind bad reception,” he said. “For example, when rap started, or when rock and roll began. But with country trap, I in no way want to take credit for that. I believe Young Thug would be one the biggest pioneers in that.”
Last week, Lil Nas X dropped the Billy Ray Cyrus remix to “Old Town Road,” which rises from No. 15 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.
