Lil Nas X officially has another hit song.
With the release of "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)" came an avalanche of controversy, outraged Christians, a series of hilarious trollings, and even a lawsuit from Nike.
It all paid off because the 21-year-old openly gay rapper nabbed the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 with a "song about gay sex."
X celebrated on Twitter:
"Y’all told a 19-year-old who had just escaped the lowest point of his life that he would never have a hit again," he wrote more seriously in another tweet, referencing the longest running #1 song of all time, "Old Town Road." "You told him to stop while he’s ahead. He could’ve gave up. But 4 multi-platinum songs and 2 #1’s later, he’s still here. Thank you to my team and my fans! ily."
And in typical Lil Nas X fashion, he posted a few memes.
We wouldn't expect anything less. We will continue streaming!
