Lil Nas X has teased his new project ‘Dreamboy’, whose artwork has been accused of plagiarising that of Sega Bodega.The rapper took to social media on November 12 to announce that his brand new single ‘Light Again!’ will drop this Friday (November 15).

However, Lil Nas X sparked fury online when he wrote a follow-up tweet expanding on the world of ‘dreamboy’, seemingly his latest new project, and sharing artwork from the upcoming project.“It just dawned on me how lucky i am to have all of you that still fuck with me,” he wrote. “bc i know it isn’t always easy!

dreamboy isn’t just an album, it’s me coping with the loss of what once was and fighting for a new world. im so excited to bring you on the journey.”However, Sega Bodega (real name Salvador Navarrete) took to X/Twitter to point out the similarities between the ‘dreamboy’ artwork and the artwork for Navarrete’s 2021 single, ‘Angel On My Shoulder’, suggesting that Lil Nas X may have plagiarised his work.“Not even trying to put a spin on it is where I’m like yeesh”, Navarrete wrote.
