The singer has already teased new music and signaled that he's evolving from his 'Montero' debut-album phase.
Most of his previous high-profile appearances involved televised awards shows, such as the Grammy Awards, and co-headlining gigs at concerts and festivals. The social media star is no stranger to the stage but had yet to embark on a tour, let alone a solo outing. On Twitter, he captioned the announcement: “all of u better come or i will cry on instagram live.” 'I am Lil Nas X, and I present to you my first tour.” Everyone’s allowed - except gay people,' he quips, true to his penchant for trolling his haters. The radically queer musician's head-turning red-carpet looks, BET Awards kiss and satanic lap dance all make appearances. “Hello, I am Montero, and I welcome you to my event,” the 23-year-old said in Tuesday's video announcement, which plays like a highlight reel of controversial moments from his nascent career. Lil Nas X has thrown his cowboy hat in the ring as the latest to reach out for some of that undeniable star power on a single. The collaborations keep coming for Rap Queen Nicki Minaj despite the COVID summer. Reps for Lil Nas X did not immediately respond Tuesday to The Times' requests for comment. Lil Nas X says being gay was the reason why he initially denied being a barb and now Nicki Minaj is responding. It's unclear why he chose such venues for his first tour, but much of what the groundbreaking country/trap/rap/pop star does is hard to explain.
