Everyone knows Lil Nas X from his smash song “Old Town Road,” well now he’s got another “hit song” so to speak. When he released the music video for “Montero.” The track was met with widespread criticism as the artist is seen riding a stripper pole down to Hell and giving Satan a lapdance among other things. Well…it gets worse…
On March 26, a partnership with a brand called MSCHF partnered together with Lil Nas X to drop Satan-themed shoes. There will be 666 Nike Air Max ’97s each containing 60cc ink and one drop of human blood. The shoe also features a Pentagram and 666 among other imagery as well. People all across the Internet began to speak out against this Satanic “artistry.” Check out how Christian Rap reacted to Lil Nas X’s shenanigans.

Man I’m sorry that you you felt turned away from Christians. Jesus ain’t like that. His love for you will always pursue you. What’s wild, is that He’s not looking at you in anger. He sees you with love. I don’t see you in anger. He loves you dawg.

Imagine instead of getting angry and yelling bloody murder over “satan shoes” someone could refocus that energy to create a buzz/marketing strategy that’s better?

Happy to announce my Jesus 1s shoes. In these times we need to combat the enemy so these are the proper footwear to stomp on the devil.

Even Joyner Lucus had something to say about the shoes.
Read Joyner Lucas’ Reaction Below:
I think the biggest problem for me is the fact he dont understand “old town road” is every kids anthem. Children love him for that record. They tuned in and subscribed to his channels. So with no disclaimer he just dropped some left field ish & all our kids seen it. Smh

YouTube Christian Rap had some things to say as well when Monday rolled around. Below is a reaction video from Ruslan and a tease of a video from FLF.
Check out Ruslan and FLF Below:
Most of these Lil Nas X reactions miss the most important component, and maybe the most veiled piece of the entire video. Very excited to shed some light on this!
