After winning Halloween this year, out, gay, Grammy-winning rapper/songwriter (and self-professed Barb) Lil Nas X is ready to come for the Christmas crown by dropping a brand new holiday single (literally entitled "Holiday") this week! 
"MY FIRST SINGLE IN ALMOST 2 YEARS 'HOLIDAY' IS OUT THIS FRIDAY!" Nas (born Montero Lamar Hill), said earlier today, tweeting out a short time traveling, Western-themed teaser video for the single where we see him trade in his signature cowboy look for a classic, red Santa suit. 
\u201cMY FIRST SINGLE IN ALMOST 2 YEARS \u201cHOLIDAY\u201d IS OUT THIS FRIDAY! \ud83c\udf85\ud83c\udffe\u2744\ufe0f\u201d
 — NASARATI (@NASARATI)
        1604894656
And one of the best surprises from the teaser clip includes a cameo appearance from Back to the Future legend Michael J. Fox who warns, "Whatever you do Nas, don't go to 2020..."
\u201cIt\u2019s always a good time when you travel back to the past. Thrilled to be a part of this! Good luck in the future \ud83d\ude01 \u2066@LilNasX\u2069\u201d
 — Michael J. Fox (@Michael J. Fox)
        1604930565
After the hellfire of a year we've all had, Lil Nas X should definitely be taking Michael's advice...
"Holiday" is set to drop this Friday, November 13! Watch the teaser for the single in the video below!

A country music singer is going viral after going on a rant about President Donald Trump’s immigration policy that involves ICE raids across the country and the MAGA supporters who claim to be Christians. 
“You don’t get to call yourself a Christian and then advocate and fucking laugh when families are torn apart outside of courthouses, when people [are] trying to come here the right ways,” singer Bryan Andrews said on social media last week.
