Rapper Lil Nas X, 21, has released a new music video for his single 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name)' that features him giving Satan a lap dance. The video, released on Friday, is the artist's most revealing musical offering to date and is named after his real name, Montero Lamar Hill.
In a letter accompanying the release on social media, Nas addressed his teenage self, writing: 'Dear 14 year old Montero, I wrote a song with our name in it. It's about a guy I met last summer. I know we promised to never come out publicly, but this will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist.' The 'Old Town Road' performer came out as a member of the LGBTQ community in July 2019.
The colourful video features numerous references to the Bible and Greek mythology, with Nas playing multiple characters. It opens with the Grammy-winner as Adam in the Garden of Eden, before a snake, also played by Nas, seduces him. Later, Nas is executed and sent to heaven, where he finds a stripper pole and descends into hell to perform a lap dance for Satan.
