FOF #2947 - Lil Nas X Rides the Pole Down to Hell

A great entertainer says what we’re all feeling, and since it’s been a hell of a year, Lil’ Nas X hung up his adorable pink cowboy hat and traded it for a skin tight bondage getup to ride a stripper pole to hell.

Lil Nas X’s new music video Montero has everything: he plays all the characters in a magical biblical world, Adam in the Garden of Eden, the seductive serpent, his own judge and judy condemning him to hell where he booty bounces for the devil, also played by himself, where spoiler alert! He snaps old Lucifer’s neck, steals his horns and becomes the new queen of hell.

With a Lil Nasty help from right wing outrage, the single has shot to #1 on the charts, and his collaboration with fashion line MSCHF to sell Satanic sneakers embedded with a single drop of human blood has raked in $666,000 and opened up a trademark infringement lawsuit from Nike!

Now Lil Nas is wrestling with the real devil: corporate lawyers!

Today we’re cutting loose like Lil Nas X did with the devil and looking at all the wild stuff rolling around regarding his new controversial video Montero and those wickedly evil shoes.
