PHOTO: Lil Nas X mocks women as he dressed up as a giant bloody tampon for Halloween

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Lil Nas X has mocked women as he dressed up as a giant bloody tampon for Halloween.

“You can’t tell me this is not mocking and trolling women,” one user wrote. 

Another commentator wrote that Lil Nas X was playing with “femininity for clout” while simultaneously disrespecting people who get their periods. “Bc vaginas n periods r like funny or scary or something,” they added. 

On Halloween (Oct. 31), Lil Nas X unveiled two costumes that garnered widespread reactions. 

Uploaded to the “INDUSTRY BABY” hitmaker’s Instagram today (Nov. 1), he dressed as a human-sized tampon. The footage revealed the rapper in a white wig, tights, matching high heels, and a red-stained jacket. Aiming to highlight menstruation, the look spurred a number of discussions on Instagram.. 

Not everyone was as critical of Lil Nas X’s costume choice, though. Some Instagram users said they found the costume “funny” and also saw it as a way to remove the stigma surrounding menstruation. 

“Please, can we agree that, besides the fact that it’s freaking funny, it’s also important to TALK ABOUT PERIODS?? Like this is a big taboo for a lot of people (women, men or everyone else),” one user wrote. In the comment section of Hollywood Unlocked, one user wrote, “Doing everything to mock a woman and [I don’t know] why he thought it was funny to be a bloody tampon.” Another came to the musician’s defense, “As a female, y’all really dragging it. Calm down, it was Halloween. I think the s**t was hilarious.”

Elsewhere, one person argued that Nas X wasn’t doing anything people haven’t seen before. They stated, “We have seen people dress up as genital parts as well as contraceptives and drugs… Cancel culture and sensitivity has already damn near destroyed comedy. Let’s not take the last holiday where it’s okay to be a little bit outrageous, too.”

While some fans of the singer appeared to see a humorous side to the costume, others who left comments on the post were less than impressed. Some went as far as to insinuate that Lil Nas X’s attention-grabbing look was misogynistic and an attempt to make fun of people who get their period. 

Representatives of Lil Nas X did not respond to a request for comment. 

“You can’t tell me this is not mocking and trolling women,” one user wrote.
