Lil Nas X is currently promoting his latest single, “Light Again,” which was released on March 29. However, a recent TikTok video featuring the artist has sparked controversy online. In the clip, someone of a lighter complexion is seen placing their hand on Nas X’s chin and chest while he raps the lyrics, which one social media user interpreted as a “class/status thing.”
The user referred to white people as “sun dodgers,” a term that was unfamiliar to many and sparked confusion online. Some misinterpreted the slur as a new car or automobile, while others had never heard the term before.
Nas X responded to the user, saying, “Baby girl, it ain’t no way you got all this from a seven-second TikTok.” The interaction went viral online, with many expressing their surprise at the term “sun dodger.”
“Light Again” follows Nas X’s first single of 2024, “J CHRIST,” which was met with criticism due to its religious nature and the artist’s past references to Satan. Nas X eventually issued an apology, citing the “mental toll” it took on him.
The term “sun dodger” has gained attention online, with many expressing their confusion and surprise at its usage. The term is not widely known and has sparked curiosity among those who have come across it.
