He Has Risen: Lil Nas X Returns With New ‘J. Christ’ Video

Lil Nas X has returned after two years in between albums with his new song “J. Christ," which debuted with a provocative music video.

The visual opens with a flock of people marching up the stairway to heaven, including a bunch of berated celebrity lookalikes with a bare minimum resemblance to Taylor Swift, Barack Obama, Oprah, Kanye West, and Ed Sheeran. The camera pans down to the depths of hell to find the artist stewing a cauldron of limbs before returning to heaven to catch a basketball game between Lil Nas X and the devil. The film follows Lil Nas X on his first big tour, offering a mix of performance footage and interviews in which the artist talks about things like his fast rise to fame and sexuality.
