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).

Reetoxa channels shyness and charm in new single “The Lisa Song”

Reetoxa’s latest release, “The Lisa Song,” is a tender, emotionally curious new release that taps into the subtle magic of admiration and quiet attraction. The track is built around a simple but arresting lyrical conceit, and the centerpiece is a moment of wonder, “Hey Lisa why are you so shy.”

There is something immediately human in the way the song progresses, Reetoxa painting the picture of someone completely taken by the gentle presence of another. The lyric “her dimples make me stir and I cant look away” becomes the emotional center of the track, turning a small detail into a powerful emotional pull.

“The Lisa Song” is a song of intimacy, not of grand production or overcomplication. It is like a thought that you cannot get rid of, a feeling that gets louder the more you try to push it away. Reetoxa keeps it simple here, allowing sincerity to be the star.

The trapheaux gracefully glides over in new release “Marble Floors”

Trapheauxly’s latest release, “Marble Floors,” is a smooth, seductive single that combines clean, complex rap verses with melodic R&B. The song’s production, soulful vocal harmonies, and steady rhythmic pulse create a luxurious yet emotionally grounded atmosphere. All of these elements work together to create this atmosphere.

The most impressive aspect of it is the way it shifts from a catchy melodic hook to a rapid-fire delivery of the lyrics. One moment, “Marble Floors” is silky smooth, and the next, it is razor sharp. This contrast is what gives the musical its identity.

When it comes to lyrical concerns of intimacy, devotion, and elevated aesthetics, the image of marble floors appears, time and time again, as a symbol of elegance and emotional weight. Trapheauxly is a polished package that combines style, substance, and value that cannot be denied in terms of replay value.
