Who is Lil Nas X’s rumoured new boyfriend Cody Jon? The Australian singer-songwriter and viral TikTok star is a self described theatre kid who counts NCT’s Jaemin among his fans
Cody Jon is a sensation online, but has also caught the eye of ‘Old Town Road’ singer Lil Nas X, who was spotted kissing the TikTok star in LA recently
It looks like rapper Lil Nas X has caught the love bug and is not trying to hide it.
In November, the “Industry Baby” artist was spotted on a stroll with singer Cody Jon, who he has recently sparked romance rumours with. Per TMZ, the pair attended an Adele concert together not long ago and indulged in some PDA on the LA streets during their latest outing, with the two-time Grammy winner leaning over to plant a kiss on Jon’s cheek.
Neither Lil Nas X – whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill – nor Cody Jon have confirmed or denied the rumours, so despite tabloids reporting the pair as either Hollywood’s hottest new couple or a publicity stunt, they may in reality just be very close friends.
So just who is Cody Jon, who might even have inspired Hill’s new song, “Need Dat Boy”?
He’s a musician too
Cody Jon is a TikTok and Instagram-famous singer-songwriter and dancer with several viral videos to his name. Per Out Magazine, he was raised in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia and took to music when he was only five years old. Dancing followed soon after and marked his transition into a self-proclaimed theatre kid.
Jon says his music is characterised by “generational dysmorphia” in his Spotify artist bio, meaning he draws inspiration from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. He released his second EP, Death Wobbles, earlier this year.
