Oh, Christ...!

Oh, yes. 

Nobody like Lil' Nas X to get the xtianists' panties in a bunch. He's a master shit-stirrer. He started a few weeks ago, in social media. He talked about his 'going back to Christ' thing and from then on it was posst after post garnering thousands of interactions (remember, people get paid for those) and right wing personalities and common xtianist folk alike losing their shit over his posts.

It paid. The video I'm posting here has millions of views (again, money in his pocket, even if people click on it to bash it) and I'm sure Spotify and Pandora have seen an increment on streaming of his songs overall. He's prepping the ground for the release of his next album, I'm sure. Xtianists. So easy to rile them up....

Because we know that many, many, many artists have used religious imagery in their work. Many. Singers, dancers, writers, painters, sculptors. And the Xtianists always scream bloody murder. You'd think they are Muslims and somebody created the likeness of the prophet. They sound just the same. Also, American wingnuts really like their Franco Zeffirelli approved Jesus. So there's that. 

And Montero went ahead and created an apology video (you know where this is going) that has garnered also a ton of engagement, explaining his views for the video. You know you cannot reason with the xtianists, and he probably knows that too. And on he goes. Just like he did with the pole dancing with Satan. I'm entertained.

And the references in the video? OMG hysterical. From passages from the Bible to that Windows wallpaper to his very own videos to celebrity lookalikes, he does not leave stone unturned. Smart guy. Even if one does not enjoy his music (we all have tastes, right?) watching the video is a fun run through the very creative mind of a guy who is literally doing what he wants. And is laughing all the way to the bank with it. Good for him.

XOXO

P.S.

Look at the engagement, btw.
