Yesterday, some of the biggest names in music gathered together to celebrate the highs and lows of 2019. With the end of a decade in sight, the American Music Awards honored the best songs of the 2010s, and Lil Nas X couldn't avoid a mention. His single "Old Town Road" became a phenomenon this year, but the country trap track didn't steal all the limelight last night.
No, Lil Nas X made sure of that. When the artist showed up to the AMAs wearing a printed neon green suit, anime fans had to do a double take because all they could see was a JoJo, and Lil Nas X is responding to those comparison.
Taking to Twitter, the singer shared an article showing off his outfit. It was there he wrote, "Please stop saying I look like a JoJo character."
In a follow up, the rapper admit fans were quick on their memes as he praised one piece of fan art. It does not look like Lil Nas X was too hurt by the comparison and fans of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure mean it as a compliment. The once-niche title has became a mainstream hit with the fandom, and they all love how the JoJo crew dress.
As you can see above, Lil Nas X is definitely channeling the aesthetic which artist Hirohiko Araki is famous for. The singer's oversized cropped jacket is the best kind of extra. The outfit's overall color would thrill Giorno Giovanni, and Lil Nas X took things an extra step with his tiger-print shirt. All in all, this is an outfit any JoJo would be proud to wear, and you can see just some of the Internet's reactions to the look below!
Do you like Lil Nas X would fit in with the Joestar crew? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB to talk all things comics and anime!
