The “J Christ” music video marks the rapper’s directorial debut and he wrote the story to the video himself.
“The gleefully subversive “J CHRIST” visual sees Nas slaying both the gates of heaven (alongside some major celebrity cameos) and the fires of hell. After an inner battle plays out, he claims victory over evil and chooses his path forward, the path of faith, and sails through a flooded rapture,” his team explained in the press release.
The team added, “As for those doubting which direction Lil Nas X has chosen, he proudly proclaims ‘THIS WAY,’ choosing to express his spirituality in his own way. He’s forging a new life for himself while nodding to the journey that led him here, complete with homage to his iconic music video for ‘MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name).’ Nas has ultimately ushered in a new beginning, and we have now arrived at DAY ZERO of this chapter.”
