“trying really hard to get the wiggles to coheadline the tour with me,” Lil Nas, a prolific social media prankster, tweeted yesterday (April 27). “i will keep you guys updated.”
The Wiggles were quick to express their enthusiasm for the idea, replying: “We’re ready to wiggle with you!”

It’s not the first time Lil Nas has comedically referenced the Australian children’s group. Back in 2020, the rapper tweeted a photoshopped cover for a Wiggles remix of ‘Rodeo’, a track from his debut EP ‘7’ which featured Cardi B.
