Lil Nas X shares revelation of her ‘pregnancy’ during the promotion of her debut album

Lil Nas X shared a tongue-in-cheek “pregnancy” photoshoot to promote their debut album.

The Old Town Road rapper, who has sparked controversy for some of his previous stunts, appeared in People magazine cradling a “baby bump” while wearing a flower crown.

The set was set to promote Montero, the debut album by Lil Nas X, which will arrive this month.

Sharing footage from the People article, the Grammy winner, 22, said: “SURPRISE! I can’t believe I’m finally announcing this. My little MONTERO cabbage is due on September 17, 2021.

Following online reviews, Lil Nas X, real name Montero Hill, tweeted: “Let me disconnect, all this negative energy is not good for the baby.”

Lil Nas X told People he got the idea for the pregnancy while listening to Megan Thee Stallion’s verse on her new song Dolla Sign Slime.

In March, Lil Nas X, who is gay, drew criticism from conservatives following the release of the music video for Montero (Call Me By Your Name), which showed the musician descending from a pole in hell before take a devil’s dance.

He later revealed he hired security guards following the controversy after being confronted on the street.

This week, Lil Nas X received the title of First-ever Suicide Prevention Advocate of the Year from LGBT suicide prevention organization The Trevor Project.
