If there's one
thing Lil Nas X knows how
to do, it's get the internet talking. This ranges from his hit single "Old
Town Road," which he made sure to keep in the cultural conversation long
after it premiered with a variety of versions, to his promotional imagery, and
even just social interactions. Just last week he went viral for clapping back
on a homophobic dig from the rapper 6ix9ine and we ate it up, even though we
now know he probably manufactured the 'receipts." Well, with the next
track, the rapper is back at it with the back at it again.
With
"Montero," Nas X is combining it all. We've been talking about the
track, which has the alternate title "Call Me By Your Name" for
months now. He's premiered snippets on social media, and then had it soundtrack
his Super Bowl 2021 ad. Though it's now dubbed "Montero," likely
for legal reasons, the excitement for it is still pretty high. On Tuesday, the
performer kicked all of that up a notch with single cover art and a release
date. The cover art? Inspired by Michaelangelo himself.
In the photo,
Nas X appears as both Cupid and Adam from "Creation of Adam." As
both, the rapper appears nude with clouds and branches covering the essential
bits.
