Montero Lamar Hill is the person behind the rapper, and he is a dark-skin Black man that is homosexual. Why all of this matters concerning a rapper is because Nas X is the first person this young, and with this much mainstream popularity, to foray that clout into a message of equality and acceptance of who a person is as a unique individual. Since then there has been a fight for this community to be treated as equal, to receive the medical care they should be entitled to, and to be able to exist in society as everyday people. We have seen a spike in LGBTQ awareness over the past decade that got a real shot in the arm when the Obama administration finally legalized gay marriage at a federal level. He has directly contradicted the idea that these people were raised with, of this pristine (white) America with “family values” that somehow involve disenfranchising a completely normal subsect of the human population. However, Nas X has shown that he is more than capable of defending himself to the intolerant class of townsfolk. Lil Nas X will be turning 22 in just five days, and it is not fair to just assume that because of this one video he will steer into tackling bigotry as a whole for his entire career. That guy is here to stay and has the potential to be one of the most important musical acts of the century.įirst things first, I do not want to heap mounds of pressure upon a rapper that is younger than myself. Lil Nas X proved to myself, and the world at large that the guy who made “Old Town Road” is not just a meme.

Lil Nas X didn’t just make a banger with a video that has a nice message. In a sub-three-minute music video, Lil Nas X managed to throw a giant ass spotlight on the bigotry and LGBTQ bashing that many people on the right and religious zealots hold so dear. It is about being yourself, facing backlash, and then further embracing the person you are. He retweets praise and people dancing to it, while quote-tweeting and replying to people gay-bashing and telling him he will be burned in hell and is, once again, pushing the “gay agenda.” It doesn’t take a whole lot of logic and reason to see through the religious veil of the music video and see what the message truly is. Lil Nas X has defended his video and song admirably on Twitter. So descended a mob of right-wing pundits and Christian fanatics like a plague of locusts. After the song and lapdance conclude, Nas X kills Satan, removing his horns and donning them himself. In the video, Lil Nas X goes from the garden of Eden, where he engages in same-sex erotic acts, to being put on trial, to being cast out of Heaven (via stripper pole) down to Hell where he proceeds to give Satan a lap dance. So began the best three days of Twitter viewing of my life. It was accompanied by a slightly longer, nearly three-minute-long music video. It took nine months for Nas X to officially release the two-minute song. In June of 2020, Lil Nas X dropped a thirty-second teaser video of the song “Montero (Call Me by Your Name).” Whether it was me, or hundreds of thousands of people on the internet, the hype behind this song was immediate. Other than “Old Town Road (Remix)” being removed from the country charts, Lil Nas X had gotten through this early stage of his career without much significant controversy. He released an EP to somewhat mixed reviews but the sentiment from fans was almost entirely positive. However, Nas X became a Fox News talking point with his outlandish sense of style and a photoshoot he did dressed as Nikki Minaj. The fact that Nas X was gay and becoming this popular led to some right-wing conspiracists to posit that he was pushing the “Gay Agenda” which is patently ridiculous. It was not a secret but for the massive influx of new fans, it was somewhat of a surprise.

Around this time, after breaking Drake’s record for most streams of a song in one week, Lil Nas X came out as gay.

Lil Nas X gained notoriety for the remix of his song “Old Town Road.” The remix stayed atop the Billboard Hot 100 Singles list for nineteen weeks. However, before I get too deep into the meaning of the video and the backlash, it would be a good idea to inform those who may not know of how we got here. The outrage stems from the video to his song. With the release of his new song “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” Lil Nas X received his first true hit of public outrage. Montero Lamar Hill, better known as Lil Nas X, has flipped the worlds of hip-hop and Christianity on their heads over the past two weeks. He might not care if you call him by his name or your name, but I do care about the respect with which you put on that name.
