In a shocking turn of events, American singer and rapper, Lil Nas X, famous for his chart-topping hits and bold artistic choices, has taken to internet to expose what he reported are injustices within the Hollywood music industry.
The artist, who rose to limelight with hits like “Old Town Road” and faced backlash for his provocative “MONTERO” music video, is now set to release his 2nd album with a new focus on religious imagery.
Lil Nas X recently shared videos on TikTok hinting at his intention to reveal the music industry, asserting that he had returned to God after the industry tried to push him in a satanic direction.
This comes as a shift from his previous use of demonic imagery that drew criticism from religious groups.
The 24-year-old artist shared insights into his hard works with the music industry on TikTok, opening that his record label prevented the release of his first gospel song. Feeling restricted, he planned to go independent, allowing him to promote his message about God more independently and shed light on what he perceives as industry wickedness.
While promoting his upcoming music, Lil Nas X has been active on Instagram, sharing intriguing visuals. A photo of him in a white dress and another of him in a priest’s robe, accompanied by the Sign of the Cross, has heightened anticipation for his upcoming music video.
