Lil Nas X Right-Wing Trolls With Mocking Apology For Her New Satan Shoes

Rapper Lil Nas X has issued a mocking apology to those who have been offended by his Satan shoes with a new take on rickroll.

The video, titled “Lil Nas X Apologizes for Satan’s Shoe,” posted on YouTube, begins with the singer wielding one of the shoes, created by himself and a company called MSCHF, which feature pentagram medallions and a drop of human blood.

“I see everyone is talking about this shoe and I just want to say …”

The clip switches to a scene from his new music video for the song “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”, in which he gives Satan a lap dance. Then he kills the devil, takes his horns and puts them on his own head.

If that’s not enough of a troll, Lil Nas X added a second “excuse” in the comments, which actually links to the full song video.

The Satan shoes are a limited edition of 666 pairs and feature red ink in the air bubble with a drop of human blood in each, which the company told The New York Times was “sacrificed” by employees. . Each also has a pentagram medallion and Luke 10:18 written on the side, a reference to a Bible verse that reads:

“And he said to them, I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven.”

Satan shoes also come with a positively ungodly price tag of $ 1,018 / pair.

Online, right-wing figures ranging from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (right) to evangelical preachers sued the rapper:

Some have also attempted to quash Nike with calls for a boycott despite the company having nothing to do with the shoes.

“We don’t have a relationship with Little Nas X or MSCHF,” Nike said in a statement quoted by Christian Broadcasting Network. “Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them.”

MSCHF, for the record, has previously released Jesus Shoes, white kicks with holy water that are currently running out, according to the website.

Lil Nas X, real name Montero Lamar, posted the video for his new song last week with a touching open letter to himself at 14.

“I wrote a song with our name on it,” he wrote:

The video has since been viewed nearly 30 million times.
