Lil Nas X announced he's taking a break from music, canceling two shows

Lil Nas X said he was going to ride until he can't no more, and apparently now he can't no more.

The rapper announced on Twitter that he's taking some time off -- canceling two shows in the process.

The announcement comes after a historic run by Lil Nas X, whose song Old Town Road spent a record-breaking 19-week run atop Billboard's Hot 100 charts.

The musician has become a household name in recent months because of the viral song and his popularizing of country rap. He released his first EP in June, called 7.
