Ouch! Though wholly expecting to brave critical backlash for its Biblical references (deemed by many as sacrilegious), Lil Nas X may not have been prepared for the mixed review his latest tune ‘J Christ’ itself would get upon its debut Friday morning (January 12).
After using his last controversial era, ‘Montero,’ to go to Hell to twerk on and unalive the Devil, Lil Nas X is now using his musical superpowers to go to Heaven in the cinematic music video for ‘J Christ‘ – the first single from his yet-titled sophomore album.
With its polarizing depictions of crucifixion and communion, LNX (born Montero Hill) once again ruffled the feathers of Christian conservatives – many of whom blasted the GRAMMY winner on social media and even signed petitions to have ‘J Christ’ blocked from radio and digital airwaves.
Much to their chagrin, their efforts have proven futile as Friday (January 12) brought with it the arrival of the Hill-directed visual in full.
Featuring a cameo from Web personality-actress TS Madison, hop inside to see the action.
Don’t think the absence of her serially delayed debut album, ‘Pretty B*tch Music,’ means Saweetie is resting on her laurels.
The project – orginally due in summer 2021 – is undergoing an extensive revamp conceptually and sonically.
“I honestly have an ample amount of songs. It’s all about figuring out what kind of story I want to tell,” she said recently. “I don’t know if I want a linear story…I don’t want it to be an album just full of hits. Yes, I want it to have hits but I want the songs to correlate with one another.”
Until she’s ready to lift the lid on official news surrounding the LP, however, she’s building an entertainment portfolio across multiple genres that will keep her in the public eye until the set is done baking.
Following the massively controversial ‘Montero’ era of 2021, Lil Nas X spent most of 2022 and 2023 on the quieter side of headlines.
That changed last week when the GRAMMY winner unveiled a peek at the single cover artwork for his “comeback” single ‘J Christ’ – a visual that depicts him being crucified like Jesus Christ.
Inciting an expected backlash, LNX – when not defending his artistic decision – followed with eye-popping teasers that will definitely get people talking.
Ahead of the tune’s official debut on Thursday (January 11), see the “trailer” inside.

The City Girls unlocked their third studio album ‘RAW’ last week.
And while fans of the Hip-Hop duo are rejoicing, select corners of the culture haven’t been as endorsing with their comments. Especially when it comes to the early sales projections for the project.
As reported, the group briefly addressed the somewhat mute rollout of the project – citing “bad management.”
Now, after being chastised about her specific efforts pushing the LP, member Yung Miami has clapped back at the critique.

Three years after hitting highest rung on the Billboard 200 to date with their sophomore studio effort ‘City On Lock,’ hitmaking Rap duo City Girls unlock its highly anticipated follow-up ‘R.A.W.’
An acronym for ‘Real A** Wh*res,’ the 18-track effort – kicked off by singles ‘Good Love,’ ‘No Bars,’ ‘Pinata,’ ‘I Need a Thug,’ and ‘Face Down’ – is loaded with high-profile guest stars including Usher, Kim Petras, Muni Long, Lil Durk, Juicy J, and more.
“R.A.W. for me is whatever mood I am. So, right now, I’m a real a– working woman, because I am here working with you,” JT said about the project. “But when I get to my man, I’m going to turn into a real a– whore. And then, the next day, I might be rude a– witch. Depends on whatever mood I’m in!”

Drew Sidora has been a scorching hot topic of late thanks to her integral spot on the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ season 15.
The hit show’s latest installment has seen the multihyphenate star’s rollercoaster marriage to Ralph Pittman implode and her relationship with her fellow castmates more tested than ever.
As the age-old adage goes: why not make lemonade out of the lemons one has been dealt? And it’s a memo Sidora has taken and embraced as she struts forward. In both her career and her life more broadly.
For, the entertainer has poured her all into her emotional new single ‘Throw Us Away.’
Produced by Donald ‘haZEL” Sales’ and written Sidora with Nye the Songwrita, Ross Ramzey, Alesia Miller, the telling track chronicles the breakdown of a relationship. Suffice it to say, ‘Throw Us Away’ is very much art imitating life.
