Lil Nas Xis back on Twitter after an almost four-month hiatus — and he’s making up for lost time!
The singer revived his suspiciously dormant Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon for the first time since early December, much to the delight of his 7.5 million followers.
“why are people surprised i’ve been away for so long? have y’all really never heard of maternity leave?” he joked. “i’m so happy i’m back on the internet. I missed me so much.”
The Grammy-winning star, 22, is as social media savvy as it gets, and often uses Twitter to interact and joke around with his fans — so when he suddenly went silent in December aftertesting positive for COVID, it sparked concern from fans.
But he returned this week with a clever nod to the fact that he announced his debut albumMonterowith anover-the-top pregnancy photoshootfor PEOPLE in September.
When the album finally was finally released, the musicianstaged a delivery videothat featured him “giving birth” to his album.
