Two years after making history with "Old Town Road," Lil Nas X again made headlines with "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)," an ode to queer love. While the song's title is a reference to the serene film adaptation that made Timotheé Chalamet a star, the "Montero" music video is decidedly darker, as Lil Nas X descends through the layers of hell on a giant stripper pole. Upon arrival, the rapper/singer celebrates his queer identity the best way he knows how: giving Satan himself a lap dance.

Naturally, conservative politicians, QAnon users, and Fox News correspondents weren't thrilled by the Satanic imagery and allusions to gay sex in the "Montero" clip. But — staying true to his origins as the founder of a popular Nicki Minaj fan account — Lil Nas X was able to smartly shut down accusations that he was brainwashing children and promoting Satanism. "There is a mass shooting every week that our government does nothing to stop," he wrote on Twitter. "Me sliding down a CGI pole isn't what's destroying society."
