Lil Nas X is really out here making dreams come true.
On Wednesday (May 29), the rising country rapper surprised a Cleveland elementary school with a performance of his chart-topping track "Old Town Road" after a video of the students jamming to the hit record went viral earlier this week. "I saw y'all video, and I knew I had to come," he told the crowd of excited children before breaking into "Old Town Road."
Lil Nas gave the fifth-grade students the surprise of the lives as they went absolutely wild when he walked into their school's gymnasium to close out their talent show. "AW THESE KIDS TURNIN UP TO OLD TOWN ROAD 5 DAYS AGO AND HAD TO COME THRU AND PERFORM ONE TIME. LOVE THESE MOMENTS! 🤠," he captioned a video of his surprise show.
Before hitting the stage, the 20-year-old rapper told Complex, "I'm finna do the biggest show of my life and it's going to be great."
Earlier this week, Lil Nas hinted that he had something in store for the students when he replied to their "Old Town Road" video: "When they want a free show."
The rising rapper has clearly been in the giving mood recently, as he gifted his "Old Town Road" collaborator, Billy Ray Cyrus —who hopped on the track after the song's original version was removed from the Country charts — a Maserati as a token of his appreciation last week. However, Lil Nas didn't just give the country crooner the luxury vehicle in a regular way. Oh no, he had it delivered by Postmates!
On Monday (May 20), Lil Nas surprised Billy at his Los Angeles-area home with the red convertible, alongside his Postmates driver. In a video, shared by TMZ, the 20-year-old rapper, who was outfitted in his usual country garb, is shown instructing Billy to go check out the surprise he got him as "Old Town Road" blasts through the car's speakers. To Billy's surprise, when he walks around the corner there's his brand-spanking new ride waiting for him. "Wait a minute. There's no way. Are you kidding me? Are you serious man?" Billy says as he hops in the driver's seat. "Holy smokes, man. Wow!"
