Listen up, kids: we have a case on our hands. It’s the case of the Instagram canoodle, and as you can see here, it’s locked up real good. This gumshoe, for one, is stumped.
This weekend, Lil Nas X was seen getting pretty comfy on some dude’s abs. Who is this dude, you ask? Well that’s what we’re here to find out, sleuths and junior sleuths.
Now we do happen to have some leads. For one: the BET awards. Remember that? If not, don’t worry because it was simultaneously ten years ago and last week. Here’s a refresher: Lil Nas X swapped spit with one of his backup dancers, Yai Ariza. And although the guy in the IG story is literally just a shirtless torso who could be absolutely anyone, we here at the Internet Gumshoe Academy have our pet theories.

“Solve” might be a strong word, but we admire this young detective for his conviction.

There’s definitely a compelling case to be made for “same legs, same shorts,” but it’s still a bit of a stretch. Meanwhile, this detective is sold on the Yai Ariza theory:

And this man has some inside information:
Y’all keep hitting me up asking if I’m the Nîgga in Lil Nas X’s story…yes! It’s me… please stop asking now

Long story short, the girls want to know ONE THING, Nas. And one thing only!
