Lil Nas X is celebrating Christian Girl Autumn a little late. The 24-year-old rapper behind “Industry Baby” teased a new song on social media on Wednesday (November 29), and it represents a significant thematic departure from the hitmaker who famously offered Satan a lap dance in a music video just a few years ago. It appears that he has repented since then, gracefully ascended the stripper pole, and entered what is now being referred to as “his Christian era.” Lil Nas X addressed his sexuality while establishing a new era in his life and business. Fans are questioning if this is just another troll from the singer, who is as well known for his pranks as he is for his songs. He dances around a street in the video while wearing a shirt that reads, “If God doesn’t exist, then who is laughing at us?”

Lil Nas X kept posting the song, emphasising how his new era corresponded with his sexuality. In another video, the singer responded to a meme telling Christians that they needed to “forgive” him for his past transgressions after he released a gospel song. Fans have been going crazy over Lil Nas X’s antics and new song. However, it appears that this is not a portent of more Christian music to come. He took to X (previously Twitter) on Tuesday to indicate that he might be trolling everyone (again). This isn’t even the very first time Lil Nas X has taunted the world this year. He left admirers perplexed after announcing the birth of his son.

Lil Nas X Teases New Song Oline Plus Jokes About His “Christian Era” In The Video
Lil Nas X has kept us entertained with his fascinating stream of consciousness, but he has been pretty silent musically since the September 2021 release of his debut studio album, Montero. That could change soon, since on Wednesday night, November 29, we received the best of all worlds – humorous online posting and musical teasing. “Y’all mind if I enter my Christian era?” An unreleased song by Lil Nas X was uploaded to X (previously known as Twitter). In the video, Lil Nas X is sitting in a stopped automobile, lip-syncing to himself while dancing around a desolate crossroads. The music is lovely, but the most significant event was Lil Nas X’s subsequent post around two hours later. “Making Christian music does not mean I can’t suck d*ck anymore,” he wrote. “Neither is mutually exclusive. I’m allowed to get down on my knees for a variety of reasons.” He dances around a street in the video while wearing a shirt that reads, “If God doesn’t exist, then who is laughing at us?” Lil Nas X kept posting the song, emphasising how his new era corresponded with his sexuality.
Lil nas x new gospel snippet made me a Christian idk how to explain it I just started seeing the light when I watched that video something awakened I feel the Holy Spirit Jesus has definitely forgived him for he forgives us for all our sins and this song is a testament to that🙏

He took to X (previously Twitter) on Tuesday to indicate that he might be scamming everyone (again). “running out of money again, gonna begin thinking of new controversies,” he said to his fans in one of his posts. “Honestly, I thought I’d reinvent myself for the next era, but alas, I remain gay,” he wrote in another post. This isn’t even the very first time Lil Nas X has taunted the world this year. He left admirers perplexed after announcing the birth of his son.

Jesus loves @lilnasx and his fabulous gay self completely and totally. I understand that many Christians have been absolutely horrible to Lil Nas X + basically all gay people. But Jesus is real and loves everyone a lot so I hate his people giving him a bad name. https://t.co/ZS0PdLjtpW
