The “Industry
Baby” singer and rapper revealed the tracklisting for
his debut album Montero on Wednesday (1
September), with Elton John, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat and Miley Cyrus set
to appear on the record.
But it wasn’t
long before Twitter users started to criticise Lil Nas X over the lack of Black
male artists appearing on the album.
One person
tweeted: “Lil Nas X’s album has no Black male guest lol. Just women and white
men. No agenda tho.”
Naturally, Lil
Nas X responded. “Maybe a lot of them just don’t wanna work with me,” he
tweeted.
Kid Cudi wants
to ‘frolic in rose gardens’ with Lil Nas X
Thankfully,
the exchange seems to have led Lil Nas to collaborate with trailblazing rapper,
singer and actor, Kid Cudi.
Cudi quickly
weighed into the furore, writing on Twitter that he was prepared to work with
Lil Nas X and “frolic in rose gardens w u singin about my pain”.
Lil Nas was
apparently on board. The chart-topper shared Kid Cudi’s tweet, hinting that the
rapper could yet appear on a deluxe version of his debut album Montero.
It’s fair to
say that fans are ready for the collaboration – Lil Nas’s tweet has been liked
more than 85,000 times, while many rushed to share their excitement at the
prospect of Lil Nas X and Kid Cudi on the same song.
The news comes
after a busy few days for Lil Nas X. The singer sent fans into a frenzy on Tuesday (31 August) when he
unveiled the album artwork for Montero.
The intricate,
highly-detailed artwork shows Lil Nas suspended in mid-air, entirely naked,
against a background that appears to be inspired by the Bible and Renaissance
art.
Just 24 hours
later, he unveiled the tracklisting for the album, which is due
to be released on 17 September.
Lil Nas X had
a rapid rise to fame in 2019 when his single “Old Town Road” spent a record-setting 19 weeks at the
top of the Billboard chart in the United States.

I think it's a mess in a way but hey, good for them for pairing up, I guess. 🤷♂️
ReplyDeleteNot a Cudi fan, not crazy about Lil Nas X either but I like him so, I'll check his album anyway. 🙂
Everybody wanna come for my Lil Nas X. He is a super hero and will bat them all aside with a flick of a nail. People need to tear down what they do not understand. Lil Nas X is not someone you understand... you simply stand in awe of his talent and let him take you on a journey. So looking forward to his new album. It is going to be HUGE!
