At the award show, Nas X’s “Old Town Road” won song of the year and was also nominated in eight other categories including video of the year and song of summer.

Earlier this month, Nas X dropped in on his former high school in Georgia, Springs High School during an assembly and gave an impromptu performance for his hometown.

As previously reported, Nas X made an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show touching on his rockstar new life and his decision to tell the world he’s gay. He tells Ellen,

Just knowing it was something that I should have [already] done. But I was [previously] in a position where I had to worry about family and friends and how they would react. But in the past year, I’m on a new level, so it doesn’t really matter, I guess.”

He added how he wanted to set an example for the younger generation,

And, also just how it would be good for the youngins listening to me right now, who are going to have to go through stuff like this in the future, to know that it’s all right.”

To top off his incredible year, Nas X even had the chance to meet media mogul, Oprah Winfrey.
