About
Lil Nas X Scroll refers to a moment at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards during Lil Nas X's acceptance of the "Song of the Year" award for his single Old Town Road featuring Billy Ray Cyrus. During his acceptance of the award on stage, Lil Nas X said, " I got a little speech" and unraveled a long scroll insinuating that his speech would be very long but he promptly handed the microphone over to his collaborator Billy Ray Cyrus. The moment quickly became a caption-able GIF on Twitter.
