Lil Nas X Explains Religious-Themed ‘J CHRIST’ Artwork & Video Amid Backlash: ‘I’m Not Some Evil Demon Guy’


“I can act unbothered all I want, but it’s definitely taken a mental toll on me,” he said of the controversy.

On Friday (Jan. 12), Lil Nas X shared his much-hyped music video for “J CHRIST,” taking the Biblical title to its furthest extent. The clip opens with a series of celebrity lookalikes — ranging from Taylor Swift to Kanye West — as they climb the stairway to heaven. Flying back up to heaven, he reunites with the Devil for a one-on-one basketball game where the rapper dunks the ball and celebrates with a cheerleading routine.
