With an average of 16.3 million viewers over the course of its second season, “Euphoria” has become the most viewed of any HBO series (per The Hollywood Reporter). It’s no surprise, then, that the show would have drawn in huge stars like Lil Nas X. In an interview with Variety, the singer said of his desire to branch out more into acting, “I would like to do some stuff like ‘Euphoria.’ I was actually going to do ‘Euphoria,’ but I didn’t want to take time from finishing my album. It was going to be great.”
While it sounds like the “Industry Baby” rapper has wanted to focus more on his music, Lil Nas X certainly didn’t turn down a role on “Euphoria” for lack of interest. After the Variety interview was published, he clarified his statement on Twitter in a quote tweet, writing “This was not me saying [I’m] too good for [‘Euphoria’], that’s literally one of my favorite shows right now.” So, although Lil Nas X turned down a role on “Euphoria,” it’s clear that the teen drama’s massive fanbase is in very good company.
