Openly gay rapper Lil Nas X has announced that he's written a children's book titled "C is for Country," reports Entertainment Weekly.
The upcoming book - like Lil Nas X's crossover hit "Old Town Road" - has a country flavor, EW reports, centering around "a pony named Panini" as he takes what the book's synopsis calls a "joyous journey through the alphabet from sunup to sundown."
