Lil Nas X just keeps winning!
After slaying the stage earlier in the evening with a performance of his bop "Industry Baby" with rapper Jack Harlow, the 22-year-old Out cover star took home the biggest award of the night -- the highly coveted Video of the Year -- for his other iconic single, "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)!"

"I want to say thank you to the gay agenda," X said during his acceptance speech, surely angering the homophobes who were absolutely fuming when the video for the track, which featured X giving Satan himself a lap dance, was originally released back in March!
