Viewers couldn't get enough of Jack namedropping his friend and collaborator Nas, talking about the romance speculations that followed their 'Industry Baby' music video.

The 'First Class' musician set the record straight whilst cheekily addressing the claims, saying on the famous stage: “I’ve also heard people try to romantically link me and Lil Nas X as an item."

"But I’m going to tell you right now – no," he said in a deadpan manner.

He continued the tongue-in-cheek bit, addressing the crowd: "Everything that happened between us was casual."

Whilst he comedically shut down the claims, he also added fuel to them, saying it was "one of the best nights of my entire life".

"Working with him! Working with him," he then clarified with expert comedic timing.

Harlow graced the studio audience with tracks 'Lil Secret', 'First Class' and 'State Fair' – what a show!

Jack and Lil Nas X famously joined musical forces to create the mega-hit that was 'Industry Baby' in 2021 and they've been no strangers in showing their love and appreciation for one another ever since.

Nas – who also goes by Montero – shut down homophobic comments following the music video's drop, which shows a steamy dance number in a prison shower scene.

He wrote at the time: "You seem to only respect gay artists when the gay part is tucked away."

"You don’t like me because I embrace my sexuality instead of hiding it and never speaking on it for your comfort," he continued.

Fans of the pop star duo couldn't get enough of the television moment, with one Twitter user posting: "jack harlow knows people ship him with lil nas x. [sic]"

Another shared: "Need someone who talks about me the way Jack Harlow talks about Lil Nas X."
