American rapper Montero Lamar Hill, known by his stage name Lil Nas X has just given birth after carrying his debut album, Montero, to full term!
The 22-year-old artist took to social media to share the news of his new “baby” with a wild video depicting him giving birth to the album.
In the video, Lil Nas X is rushed into his hospital room where he’s helped by two nurses who instruct him to push, eventually he pushes out Montero, which he then cradles lovingly in his arms.
“It’s already GRAMMY-nominated,” Lil Nas X tells the delivery nurses with a proud smile.
The new album boasts 15 songs, where Lil Nas X takes the genre-fusing approach that made his breakout single “Old Town Road” such a smash hit, and applies it to an entire album’s worth of rocking singles.
Spread throughout the album as well are a number of special guest appearances, including stars like Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Miley Cyrus, Elton John, and of course Jack Harlow on “Industry Baby.”
Starting with his No. 1 single “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” back in March, and continuing through his latest No. 2 hit “Industry Baby,”.
Upon announcing the album back in August, Lil Nas X shared his thoughts on making his debut album, saying that the process opened him up to some new insights.
“Creating this album has been therapy for me,” he wrote in a statement. “I’ve learned to let go of trying to control people’s perception of who I am, what I can do, and where I will be. I’ve realized the only opinion of me that really matters is my own.”
