Following up his scandalous/instantly iconic music video for "Industry Baby", Lil Nas X released the uncensored version.
In the original video, X jaunts through Montero State Prison and at one moment, jumps in the showers for a choreographed number, completely naked, and surrounded by backup dancers. Their genitals are blurred out, of course.
For fans of the original video, an uncensored version has its obvious appeal, and a video unceremoniously popped up on X's YouTube channel yesterday.
Don't get your hopes up though. 34 seconds in, the video cuts to the shower scene but gets stuck on a loading screen before it shows anything actually uncensored. The rest of the song plays out while the video pauses here.
The video currently has over 4 million views. Well played, Lil Nas X.
\u201cwe\u2019ve been tricked, we\u2019ve been backstabbed and we\u2019ve been quite possibly, bamboozled.\u201d— prant\u00f8 (@prant\u00f8) 1627496277
True fans know this was the type of thing X loves to do, so they weren't too surprised. "If it’s one thing Lil Nas is gonna do, it’s TROLL lmaooo. we knew this was gonna be click bait and yet here we are," wrote one. "We all knew he's gonna troll us again let's be honest.. but we still love it," said another.
