“STOP TROLLING ME F----- LOL!!," the tweet said, in part. "IF YOU #commitsuicide YOU WOULD DO THIS WORLD A HUGE FAVOR NOBODY WANTS U HERE."

Twitter took down the rapper’s post for violating the company’s policy on hate speech.

Badazz's offensive remarks came shortly after Lil Nas X jokingly told fans on Instagram Live over the weekend that he would be collaborating on a new song with the 38-year-old rapper, who earlier this year threatened to "drag" and "beat" the 22-year-old singer, whose debut album "Montero" dropped last month.

Lil Nas X — who was honored as the Trevor Project‘s Suicide Prevention Advocate of the Year in September — responded on Twitter in jest, saying, “i am truly saddened. i have never been so mortified in my life. i can’t believe disney channel has yet to play halloween town this entire october.”

The remarks against Lil Nas X come after the "Old Town Road" singer revealed in February that he suffered from suicidal thoughts in 2019.

“I got news that my mom wasn’t doing so well in rehab with her addiction,” he wrote in a series of TikTok captions. “Also me and my boyfriend broke up. During this time old town road was still killing it while I was… spiraling. I found myself in a hotel room contemplating ending it all. But I didn’t.”

In the series of videos, Lil Nas X also said he was previously kicked out of his sister's home and experienced domestic abuse while living with one of his brothers.

The rapper has further addressed his grapples with suicidal thoughts in a music video for his single "Sun Goes Down," which depicts him uplifting a younger version of himself when he is struggling to come to terms with his sexuality.

On Saturday, fans were quick to come to Lil Nas X's defense.

"Boosie isn’t mad that Lil Nas X is queer," one user wrote on Twitter. "Boosie is mad that a queer Black rapper is doing better than him in an industry that has built its foundation in homophobia."
