With his 2021 album Montero receiving serious backlash for its satanic themes, you’d think Lil Nas X would be stepping well clear of touching on such heated topics any time soon.
Yet, ever the master of manufacturing controversy, his latest promo for comeback track J. Christ sees the American artist stepping high-heels first into a world of blasphemous biblical iconography, pop-culture meme references and Lil Nas lore.
Whatever you make of its themes - and the artist’s underlying intentions- the creative, directed by Montero Lamar (Lil Nas X) Hill himself through SixTwentySix Productions, is a gripping blend of live-action footage and big-budget VFX by Mathematic, striking costume design and captivating choreography.
Having already divided the internet, and seen the artist sharing an apology video within a mere matter of days since its release, J. Christ marks the beginning of an undoubtedly disputatious new album cycle for the rapper.
