An underreported part of Lil Nas X's success, however, is his history operating a popular Twitter account. By trafficking in memes, viral threads, engagement bait, and Nicki Minaj stanning, Lil Nas X was able to create a six-digit follower base on Twitter, and it was that platform that served as a springboard for "Old Town Road." Lil Nas X may seem like an overnight success, but his breakthrough is the product of a years-long, 21st-century marketing plan — one which has been banned from Twitter for its reliance on spammy tactics and copying others.
Music publications have seemingly been strong-armed into not mentioning Lil Nas X's online past, his Twitter account, @nasmaraj, in particular. "This article was updated to correct an error about Lil Nas X's involvement in Nicki Minaj's Barbz Fan Army," reads a post on Billboard that no longer mentions Nas Maraj. An update to a piece on Hot New Hip Hop states that "Lil Nas X's team has reached out to us to confirm that the Lil Nas X did not run a Nicki Minaj fanpage, despite Billboard's initial reports." It's a curious denial, given how much Nas Maraj activity remains visible online, clearly connected to Lil Nas X, and how frequently fans mention his history in relation to "Old Town Road."
"Isn't this an ex twitter barb? Go off @NasMaraj fffff," one user wrote on the popular stan forum ATRL. "Nasmaraj is really gonna get a #1 before Onika," another said (Onika is Nicki Minaj's full first name).

The Bardis stan FIRM in their love for Quee'
dddddd I screamed when I found out he was nasmaraj
He stayed with a viral tweet
And apparently he's gay too
Guess Lee Daniels was right about the gay rapper thing
I wonder if his label will make him get a beard

this didn't really make sense because her fans showed up and showed out. My comments were out fan bases
Keep up
And no Barb should discuss a canceled show :kii: with half empty venues
