In addition, Lil Nas X's new EP, 7, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard album chart. Two additional songs from the EP also enter the Hot 100: \"Panini\" at No. 16, and \"Rodeo,\" featuring Cardi B, at No. 22.

As previously reported, in connection with Pride Month, Lil Nas X revealed on social media that he's a member of the LGBTQ community.

\"Some of y'all already know, some of y'all don't care, some of y'all not gone fwm no more,\" he wrote in a post that concluded with a rainbow emoji. He followed up the post with a tweet saying he thought he'd \"made it obvious.\"
