Lil Nas X Reacts to a Huge Star Showing Up to His Show in 'Long Live Montero' Teaser

With Sundance wrapped up, we are now looking forward to the rest of the early 2024 festivals, including SXSW in March. While we already have some idea of what we’ll see at the event, we now know the Closing Night film is one to keep an eye on— “The Idea of You” from director Michael Showalter.

Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero, the artist known as Lil Nas X lays down his ambitions to achieve something “great, super grand, BIG.”He might be referring to his trailblazing career as a Grammy-winning rapper-singer-songwriter, whose unabashedly queer persona and presentation garner admiration and controversy in equal measure.He could mean his first concert tour as a headliner, the Long Live Montero Tour, the American leg of which is chronicled in this film by directors Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel.There’s little doubt he envisions greatness for himself, Montero Hill, the self-described brat from Lithia Springs, Georgia, who uploaded his modest country-rap banger “Old Town Road” to his socials and became a global sensation.The film, a verité-style tour diary in three acts, doesn’t achieve greatness of its own, but offers glimpses at those aforementioned aspects of Montero’s super grand life.Whether rehearsing for opening night at Detroit’s legendary Fox Theatre, getting a surprise pre-show visit from Madonna, or donning his drag persona to meet his uncannily accurate Madame Tussaud’s wax figure, he rides the dizzying whirlwind of music stardom with aplomb, clearly living out a dream.Among the most compelling footage presented here is the video he shot himself in 2018, as a striving but confident 19-year-old, a month after releasing “Old Town Road” to the internet. Looking into the camera, he tallies his current follower count, promising that in a year the count will look different.

Lil Nas X has admitted he “messed up really bad” with the promotional materials for his new single ‘J Christ’, but insisted that he “didn’t mean to mock” Christianity.The rapper/singer released the song last Friday (January 12) alongside a self-directed video that spoofs various biblical stories. In the clip, we see Lil Nas portray a godlike figure at the gates of Heaven and play a one-on-one basketball game against Satan.Additionally, the artist is depicted on a crucifix in one scene. The official ‘J Christ’ cover artwork also shows him on a cross as five bystanders begin to raise him off the ground.

Thania Garcia Lil Nas X addressed claims he was mocking Christianity with his new religion-themed single “J Christ” in a lengthy video the rapper uploaded to X on Monday morning. Nas has been on the receiving end of criticism from spectators — including Christian artists like the Grammy-winning Gospel artist and rapper Lecrae — who disagreed with the promo and visuals for the single and its matching music video. Specifically, Nas found himself in a firestorm of negative comments after uploading a TikTok in which he eats communion bread and drinks wine from a chalice while dressed as Jesus.

Lil Nas X‘s controversial new single ‘J Christ’ has received a stamp of approval from the Church Of Satan.The singer and rapper’s comeback single landed last week and he faced backlash and controversy surrounding the ‘J Christ’ cover artwork, which depicts him lying on a crucifix as five bystanders begin to raise him off the ground.In the video, impersonators of Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Ed Sheeran, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and more appear as a gospel choir sings: “Oh lord please/ Deliver us/ Deliver me.”In an interview with TMZ, Church Of Satan leader David Harris described the track and video as “fantastic.”It comes after the organisation also supported Lil Nas X back in 2021, when he faced controversy after promoting that he would be selling selling 666 pairs of limited edition “Satan Shoes” – each containing a drop of real human blood.Lil Nas X was accused of making a “mockery of Christ” with the song’s artwork, and responded by revealing that he was going to university to join a Biblical Studies programme. He will undertake a dual concentration in Christian Leadership and Biblical Studies later this year at Liberty University, a Christian university in Virginia.In the caption, Lil Nas X wrote: “I know some of yall hate me right now but i want yall to know im literally about to go to college for biblical studies in the fall.

Liberty University did not issue the Montero Hill acceptance letter posted yesterday to social media, and we have no record of Montero Hill applying to the university,” a spokesman for the Virginia-based university told Entertainment Weekly. The statement from the Christian college stated that the school “exists to glorify God by equipping men and women in higher education in fidelity to the Christian faith expressed through the Holy Scriptures.”Liberty’s statement comes after the “Call Me By Your Name” singer posted the faux acceptance letter stating that he would be attending the religious school in the fall of 2024 with a dual concentration in Christian Leadership and Biblical studies.
