Lil Nas X Reveals What John Mayer Said To Make Him Cry
The ‘Holiday’ rapper spent his Thanksgiving becoming a meme courtesy of his reactions to extremely hot wings. …
It seems all the best stories from Complex‘s Hot Ones interview show come from the segment in which host Sean Evans pulls a photo from the guest’s Instagram and prompts the guest to explain it. It’s also probably no coincidence this segment usually comes after the first few wings have lowered the subject’s guard but before those last three tear them apart and reduce them to coughing fits, tears, and pained contortions.
Shortly before Lil Nas X wound up doing all the latter (while struggling to guzzle an entire carton of soy milk, no less), he was asked just what John Mayer once said to him to make him cry as a photo of the two flashed across the screen. “Maybe he said something super inspirational,” Nas answered. “John Mayer’s a super cool dude. He just says cool sh*t.” He elaborates that the two were at Columbia Records CEO Ron Perry’s party once, “And then John Mayer just walks by the pool and says something super cool and walks away. And it made me cry a little bit.”
After that, though, the interview quickly turns toward Nas’s expert use of the internet and memes — right before he manages to turn himself into another one. Unfortunately, he has no one to blame but himself (seriously, watch to end).

The Project drops a thrilling rock nostalgia in its newest release, “Hold On Tight”
The electrifying new single, “Hold On Tight,” strum by The Project, is a thrilling dive into anthemic rock charm with a catchy pop twist that grabs listeners’ attention. Led by the mastermind of the Cali-rock veteran, James Davis, the band delivers a high-octane track that feels like a passionate love letter to the best of the 80s rock anthems with a modern pop twist that keeps it fresh. Davis, known for his scorching guitar riffs as lead guitarist since his days with ‘Shameless,’ amps the intensity, proving his back more robust and versatile. This one’s worth holding on to come from the heart of a supergroup built on pure talent and chemistry.
“Hold On Tight” has a palpable energy that sets it apart, allowing it to maintain its grit and sleek melodic sound. The razor-sharp guitar riffs, courtesy of producer Dennis Hill’s expert production, punch through the mix with just the right amount of swagger. Jeff Plant’s powerhouse vocals give the song a bold edge, pushing the lyrics with conviction as they echo through the chorus filled with imagery of seizing the moment that channels a sense of urgency like a final call to brace yourself for life’s wild ride. It’s fast, it’s loud, and it’s unapologetically anthemic.
Teaming up with Erik Ferentinos and the heavy-hitting Arron Rossi on drums, The Project has created a nostalgic atmosphere for Davis’ longtime fans and the new generation, honoring the roots that made him a Southern California rock staple while driving headfirst into a sonic time machine of the future. Fans of classic rock and pop will find a lot to love here. The Project’s metallic edge, blended with pop sensibility, makes “Hold On Tight” an exciting listen and the perfect companion for your next road trip.
