Lil Nas X‘s debut album ‘Montero’ arrived today to rapturous applause from fans and critics alike.

Led by chart-topper ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ and follow-up smash ‘Industry Baby,’ the set has been supported by what has been deemed one of the most well-executed marketing campaigns in recent memory.

Indeed, the set’s infectious music has been paired with high-octane performances and Nas’ quirky use of social media – which he has cleverly used as a potent promotional tool.

The masses have watched on and marveled as the performer played up being “pregnant” with the long-awaited LP. Each stage – from the announcement to the baby shower to the labor and delivery all were comically chronicled.

All, it seems, has created the perfect storm of buzz around the project.

The perils of life in the closet acts as the plot behind Lil Nas X‘s latest music video, ‘That’s What I Want.’

Directed by Stillz, the new clip – which comes as the latest in a string of controversial visuals from LNX including ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ ‘Sun Goes Down,’ and ‘Industry Baby’ – addresses life for men who live double lives and are torn between being who society would have them be versus who they want to be.

A conversation starter for sure, ‘Want’ – which features a cameo from TONY and EMMY-winning singer-actor Billy Porter – arrives on the same day as its parent album, ‘Montero’ (click here to stream).

After rolling out one of the most unique (and unforgettable) campaigns to trumpet its arrival (see: pregnancy hoax), Lil Nas X‘s long-awaited debut album, ‘Montero,’ has finally landed on digital shelves.

The eponymous affair – kicked off by the controversial singles ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ ‘Sun Goes Down,’ and ‘Industry Baby’ – comes as LNX’s first studio effort and first full body of work since exploding onto the scene with 2019’s ‘Old Town Road’-housing EP, ‘7.’

Though X (born Montero Hill) handles most of the 15-track project by his lonesome, his list of guest stars – which includes Elton John, Jack Harlow, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Miley Cyrus, and more – is far from anything to shake a stick at. What’s more, Hill recently revealed Nicki Minaj and Drake were almost included!

Nevertheless, hop inside to watch the ‘delivery announcement’ of ‘Montero’ then stream it courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.

Fresh from show-stopping at the MET Gala, the 22-year-old sat down at both The Breakfast Club and Hot 97 and as ever kept it super candid.

No topic was off-limits, as such Nas waxed honest about being a Pop provocateur, the “gay agenda,” Boosie’s jabs, his artistic process, and much more.

For fashionistas and fashion forward fellows, “fashion’s biggest night out” – better known as the Met Gala – is easily the most wonderful time of year.

A designer costume party that doubles as a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City, the outing is an annual assembly of Hollywood’s “who’s who” to show off some truly outrageous and over-the-top ensembles courtesy of top named and well respected designers.  As history has seen jaws dropped courtesy of gowns adorned by the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, and many more, 2021’s exhibition – christened ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion’ – promised no different.

With GRAMMY winner Billie Eilish, tennis pro Naomi Osaka, and designer Tom Ford acting among the event’s co-chairs, look below to see how they – and all the other big-named guests – turned heads with amazing their threads Monday night (September 13).

Like clockwork; whenever Lil Nas X makes any post on any level of the ‘shock’ spectrum he can expect to be peddled with a brigade of critics who claim he’s gone too far.

Such was certainly the case earlier this week when he took to social media to announce the September 17 arrival of his long-awaited debut studio album, ‘Montero,’ by dressing in a costume that made him appear to look pregnant.

As expected, among the many detractors making headlines for disliking the photo was rapper Boosie Badazz.  Despite recently declaring he wasn’t homophobic because his tour manager is gay, the 38-year-old has made clear his stance on LNX’s antics over the past few months – even suggesting the GRAMMY winner is on a mission to influence children to engage in homosexual activity.

Look inside to see what the ‘Industry Baby’ performer had to say about Badazz’s latest critiques.
