In an interview released on Thursday with SiriusXM, the young star was quizzed on his relationship status by host, Andy Cohen.

"And it sounds like from what I'm reading that you have found somebody – are you happy?"

Nas coyly replied: "Where did you read that?"

Andy exclaimed in response: "I heard you had a boyfriend!"

The pop sensation took the opportunity to set the record straight about his recent relationship, saying: "I was seeing someone, um, I kinda decided I didn't want to anymore."

Lil Nas went on to shed some wisdom on taking time out for yourself after a breakup.

The latest single from the popstar's debut album, 'Montero', centres around being in the pursuit of love – Andy quizzed the star on 'That's What I Want'.

"I don't want to ruin anybody's perception of this song but I don't think I want any guy right now – you know?"

He continued: "Maybe I'm floating around right now, I just want to work on music."

This summer Lil Nas X had been dating Yai Ariza, one of his backing dancers. Yai can be seen kissing the superstar in the 'That's What I Want' music video.

The pair also put on a steamy display at the BET Awards in June, where they stole the show with an on-stage kiss!
