So how did Lil Nas X feel about cooking with Gordon Ramsay? Well, it's first worth noting how their meeting happened. And that would be, how else but, from a tweet. Lil Nas X jokingly posted that he wanted to get the superstar chef on a "Panini" remix, but the social-media-savvy Ramsay cryptically responded, "Tell me more..."

Thanks to the tweet exchange, per TIME, as well as that both the rapper and the chef were in London at the same time, Lil Nas X stopped by Ramsay's Lucky Cat restaurant in the U.K. for a lesson on making paninis! Despite singing about the famed pressed sandwich, Lil Nas admitted during the video he actually never made one. Regardless, the ensuing YouTube panini-making experience is adorable, with the rapper chopping his panini in half ... with an ax. 

In November 2020, Lil Nas X reflected on meeting Ramsay while on another food show: The YouTube series, Hot Ones. And apparently, it was all good vibes between them. "He was motivating me a lot saying inspiring things because, you know, he's done so much already and I'm just getting started on my journey," the singer told the Hot Ones' host. He then joked about Gordon Ramsay's famously critical tone, "If you yell at people more, it's definitely going to make the food taste amazing." Ha! We can't wait to see who Lil Nas X collaborates with next, musically and otherwise!
