LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lil Nas X has disappointed fans after he shared that he declined to work with Taylor Swift for an unusual reason.

Speaking with E! News’ Francesca Amiker at GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles March 27, he said, “We were working on something. She offered to let me try a verse on something, but I couldn’t catch a vibe for it, so it didn’t happen.”

The 25-year-old also revealed that he didn’t “even want to talk about” it. He, however, noted that he’s “proud of my girl”.
