Jack Harlow had a few choice words for Lil Nas X haters during his appearance on the Grammys red carpet on Sunday (April 3).

While walking along the red carpet, Harlow was asked by actress Laverne Cox about his Lil Nas X Grammy Award-nominated collaboration “Industry Baby,” which both parties were gearing up to perform later that night. Harlow had nothing but good things to say about his collaborator.

“I’m grateful to him, you know?” the “Nail Tech” rapper told Cox. “I’m performing with him tonight. It was a collaboration but, you know, I owe him a lot for this moment so I love him for that.”

The former Orange Is The New Black star then asked Harlow for his response to those who have criticized Lil Nas X’s homosexuality.

“Wake the fuck up,” he said. “Fuck’s wrong with you? It’s ridiculous. Yeah, I mean he’s trailblazing a path that you know, it’s sad it has to be trailblazed, but I think it’s amazing. He’s innovating the game and it’s fresh, it’s powerful and it’s necessary you know? So, I love it.”

Lil Nas X was nominated for five Grammys but ultimately lost all of them. He took to Twitter after the awards to jokingly declare he was no longer gay in the wake of his losses, writing, “Can’t believe I lost all my grammys. I am no longer gay!”
