His fans, however, celebrated the song’s expression of queer sexuality and creativity. In March, Lil Nas released the music video for the album’s first single “ Call Me By Your Name (Montero)” which received backlash from angry parents and right-wing viewers due to the rapper giving the devil a lap dance and pole dancing into hell.

In doing so, the artist has been subjected to extreme amounts of homophobia online. Lil Nas X appears to have teased the possibility of being bisexual - or even toying with the idea he isn't really gay at all. In the clip, Lil Nas X ditched a pink jumpsuit. However, gearing up for his debut album MONTERO, which was announced in a cinema-style trailer on social media, the rapper has changed up his style and sound – mostly focusing on hip hop and often using his performances to express his sexuality. The 22-year-old rapper stripped down to his birthday suit in the prison-themed video for his latest single 'Industry Baby ,' featuring Jack Harlow. After dropping multiple remixes – including the most popular which featured country music artist Billy Ray Cyrus – the musician released tracks “ Panini” and “ Rodeo”. Lil Nas X originally rose to fame in 2018 from his country-trap single “ Old Town Road”, which became the longest-running number one song in US chart history. Industry Baby is Nas’ third single of 2021, following in the footsteps of the unforgettable Monterro (Call Me By Your Name) and Sun Goes Down.

Taking to Twitter, the rapper stated: “After I drop the album I will be finish with my gay era and returning to my cowboy era.” Lil Nas X reigns supreme as the king of music video, dancing naked in a shower room and staging an incredible prison break for his new single Industry Baby. Over the weekend (August 6), Lil Nas X hinted at a return to his country music roots.
