Lil Nas X casually unfurls scroll at the VMAs, instantly becomes meme

Lil Nas X has had one hell of a year.

He's smashed records with the inescapable "Old Town Road," he's released more remixes than you can imagine, he came out on Twitter, and -- as of Monday night -- he also won a bunch of awards at the VMAs.

And now, to cap it all off, he's entered the meme hall of fame.

While on stage accepting the award for Song of the Year alongside OTR collaborator Billy Ray Cyrus, Lil Nas X fished out a "little speech" from his jacket pocket in the form of a lengthy scroll. The artist didn't read from it, but the moment nonetheless went down a treat with the audience. Take a look:
