In a video shared to Twitter from one of his two Long Live Montero Tour stops in Atlanta earlier this week, the "Industry Baby" performer told fans from backstage that he was in the midst of pooping and would be back in "like a minute or two." "I'm backstage, and this is, like, not a part of the show, but I'm taking a mean s---, so please forgive me. But I'm gonna be like a minute or two, and I'll be right back," says Lil Nas X, 23, in the audience member-filmed clip, posted Thursday. The following day, he reposted the video and tweeted, "lmao people really thought i was joking, i was literally back there dropping demons into that toilet." Lil Nas X's bathroom emergency occurred during one of his two concerts at the Coca-Cola Roxy venue in Atlanta, held on Sept. 27 and 28.

Thinking back to this conversation we had about 4 years ago and to see your show last night, by the way was the best show I've seen since MJ."
