LIL NAS X RESPONDS TO CRITICISM

Lil Nas X is certainly no stranger to internet infamy. He’s once again set the internet abuzz with his latest single and video, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name) and has gotten the attention of parents and the Governor of South Dakota.

Our kids are being told that this kind of product is, not only okay, it's "exclusive." But do you know what's more exclusive? Their God-given eternal soul.

We are in a fight for the soul of our nation. We need to fight hard. And we need to fight smart. We have to win. https://t.co/m1k1YWFpuo

In the video for the song, it feature a fair amount of Satanic imagery and at one point, Nas is seen giving a lap dance to Satan. (The video is kind of graphic. I’ll leave it to your discretion to search it out).

Parents are upset that since is song, “Old Town Road” was such a big hit with kids, they’re worried that their children will be exposed to these explicit themes. But Nas points out the content in that song includes drug use and mentions adultery, so parents should be responsible for the content their kids consume, not him.

i literally sing about lean & adultery in old town road. u decided to let your child listen. blame yourself. https://t.co/gYmTi49BqB

And he has a point. I’m sure that he was well aware of the criticism he would receive by putting out this content in his art. And this is just my opinion, the limited edition shoes that have been released in conjunction with the song that reportedly come with a drop a blood included in them, is a little strange. But it’s not up to me what he does. Or anyone for that matter.
