AceShowbiz - Lil Nas X is set to make music comeback soon. Taking to social media, the "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)" hitmaker announced that he will release a new single and his first ever self-directed music video.
The 24-year-old, born Montero Lamar Hill, shared the announcement via Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, January 3. "New song and visual next week! - Official art dropping soon," he penned.
To preview the song, Nas X uploaded a picture featuring four photos of himself in priest robes. It featured words that read, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen."
Nas X's announcement arrived on the same day he clapped back at Dave Chappelle's "MONTERO" diss in "The Dreamer". Replying to a video of the comedian joking about the song and its MV, the Grammy winner wrote on X, "yall gotta let call me by your name go, me and the devil broke up 3 years ago. yall acting like children of divorce."
Hours later, Nas X let out a new post in which he boasted about his achievements. "I love this constant cycle the world has with me. when i started making music yall told me i was just another twitter rapper. then i made the biggest song of all time. yall called me a one hit wonder. then i dropped one the most streamed albums of the year with 3 top 5 hits. now yall saying my new s**t not finna do nothing. At some point yall gotta realize I am gods favorite," he declared. "1/12/24."
In "The Dreamer", Dave claimed Nas X walked up to him at a party and said that he wanted Dave in the visuals, which he didn't remember " 'What do you want to be when you grow up, Lil Nas X?' That n***a stood up in front of the whole class," the comic said.
" 'I want to be the gayest n***a that ever lived. I want to do a music video, slide down a stripper pole, all the way to the depths of hell, and suck the devil's d**l at ten o' clock on BET while all the kids are awake and can see me,' he continued. "Shockingly, that was the only dream that worked out."
