“It just feels good to walk through the hallways and not get in trouble for it, you know?” The artist joked with the media on his visit, in a school system video. “That’s the best part. Everybody’s excited.”
He sat down with “CBS Mornings” to talk about the visit with Gayle King as well.
“I definitely felt like some kind of hero, in a way, I guess because everybody was just going crazy,” Lil Nas X said.
Lithia Springs does, however, plan to build a new high school between 2025 and 2027.
