Lil Nas X, like Wu-Tang Clan before him, is for the children.
Video of country music superstar Lil Nas X belting out a performance of “Old Town Road” for an audience of elementary school students is a ray of sunshine for your day. It came about recently after Felicia Evans, the principal of Lander Elementary in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, posted a video of a school gym full of children singing along to the song to close out a school talent show. Lil Nas X, a man of the people, saw the video and offered a free performance for the elementary school.
I love my job. We ended our 5th grade talent show today with the whole school dancing and celebrating…together!! #LanderLove🐾💚 @LanderElem @LilNasX 💃🏽🤠 pic.twitter.com/pzS1id79mu
