Lil Nas X accidentally blocks breakfast show camera, charmingly styles it out
Lil Nas X is an international treasure.
And his appearance on BBC Breakfast just cemented that status for all eternity.
After chatting to the two presenters, Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt, the "Old Town Road" rapper walked off set at the end of the interview, but accidentally strolled right in front of the camera.
Presenters Munchetty and Stayt called out to Lil Nas X and asked him to join them on the sofa again.
"Nas can we just say, you just walked right across our camera shot," said Stayt. "You see, you know how to steal the show."
True to form, his response was utterly charming.

"I was leaving," the Lil Nas X said.
"So the way this works is you have to sit there so you don't go in front of the cameras," Stayt explained.
"OK, next time that won't happen," the artist replied, with a big smile on his face.
He tweeted afterwards saying he didn't know. To be fair, most of us would've done the same thing.
