Just because he's not releasing any music doesn't mean he doesn't have a career to worry about
theres Still such a thing as depending on those old school fans to purchase tickets to his shows ... he really doesn't even need to release any new music . He can eat off his catalog for the rest of his life
He's still touring
and someone his age may not looking UP to lil nas for inspiration to come out ldddd . He may not see himself in someone as outrageously flamboyant as nas .
OR OR ... maybe it just felt good for him to just PUT IT OUT there real quick and let the internet do its magic . And opted not to let a circus in his Twitter comments continue on . Maybe he feels putting out there was enough and that was his therapy. His small sigh of relief All he needed, as opposed to letting it linger on his Twitter. I actually think this is the most likely reason behind the post and delete .
