 The hashtag #LilNasXIsOverParty started trending on Twitter early Sunday morning, thanks to the efforts of stan accounts accusing the "Old Town Road" songwriter of Islamophobic tweets on what is allegedly his old social media account
 The accusations were met with backlash, creating a storm of controversy over whether the tweets were really even from Lil Nas X or not
  Before hitting no. 1 on the Billboard Top 100 charts for his country-rap crossover with Billy Ray Cyrus, Lil Nas X  may have ran the once popular, now suspended Twitter account @nasmaraj
 If so, old tweets from @nasmaraj containing  Islamophobic sentiments such as "Stop pretending there is no correlation between violence & islam," could be attributed to the artist
  That connection was made Sunday by stan accounts, which are social media profiles created by fans of different artists and celebrities to tout their idols
 Most of the ire toward #LilNasXIsOverParty has come from k-pop stans, but several prominent tweets are from Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande stans, as well
  With Lil Nas X having just dropped  his EP "7" and "Old Town Road" continuing to hold  at no
 1, it's no surprise that stans for other artists and genres may be sick of seeing him in the spotlight
 Whether their "receipts" from @nasmaraj will actually sway support for their artist is questionable, since a majority of the tweets using the hashtag are criticizing the attacks
  The songwriter himself has been active on Twitter since the hashtag started trending,  and tweeted "me at the lil nas x is over party" with a clip of his single "Panini" and an animation
  Lil Nas X has never claimed that he ran @nasmaraj, and the connection between him and the account has never gone mainstream, but the claim that the two are connected isn't baseless
  An investigation from New York Magazine's  Intelligencer blog lays out compelling evidence that @nasmaraj and Lil Nas X are one in the same, and the songwriter's team has denied it to publications  like Billboard
 Stan accounts have contributed  evidence, too - although, almost anything can be faked or taken out of crucial context on the internet
  The Intelligencer  reported that Lil Nas X attained a six-digit follower count before getting suspended for  tweetdecking, or spamming Twitter with coordinated attempts to go viral based on faked or stolen content
  Evidence that Lil Nas X ran @nasmaraj  includes Reddit user u/NasMaraj, an account that identified itself as both @nasmaraj on Twitter and Lil Nas X multiple times before and after "Old Town Road" debuted
  Additionally, after @nasmaraj was suspended, a new account called @nasmarai appeared and identified itself as the successor to @nasmaraj
 The email that appeared in @nasmarai's Twitter bio  later appeared in Lil Nas X's official Twitter bio, and his Lil Nas X's Instagram bio used to identify him as @nasmarai on Twitter
  @nasmaraj was also a Nicki Minaj stan, which has irritated current Minaj stan accounts on Twitter, who believe Lil Nas X has purposefully collaborated with Cardi B, the rapper's primary competition, to dispel rumors of his past
  If Lil Nas X was @nasmaraj, it would also make sense for the songwriter to disassociate himself with the controversial account given his recent fame
  For now, it seems to have worked - regardless of the trending hashtag and compiled evidence, no real-life mob outside of Twitter has successfully knocked Lil Nas X from his Billboard pedestal or viral fame
  INSIDER reached out to Lil Nas X for comment but has yet to hear back.
