Lil Nas X fans, rejoice! His new single and music video, titled\u00a0“Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” are here\u00a0\u2013 and fans, including his dad, have a lot to say.<\/p>\n

The video, out Friday, shows the singer in a colorful fantasy world, where he plays multiple characters and slays in elaborate makeup, hair and costuming.<\/strong>The new song is the title track for his upcoming album “Montero.” According to Lil Nas X, the full project is expected to release this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to celebrate\u00a0the video on social media.<\/p>\n

“Lil Nas X came through with Montero \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\ude2d” user\u00a0@ArthShahverdyan tweeted.<\/p>\n

“I can truly say that Lil nas x put his whole soul into Montero\/ CMBYN and it shows I\u2019m low key speechless,” user\u00a0@_kingxay wrote.<\/p>\n

Others praised the video\u00a0and track for being unabashedly queer.<\/p>\n

“Lil Nas X being unapologetically BLACK & GAY, giving queer kids someone to look up to AND pissing of homophobes in the process >>>>>>>” user\u00a0@atb__william tweeted.<\/p>\n

The rapper’s dad sent him a text praising the rapper’s creativity and expressing how proud he was of him in all-caps. The rapper shared a screenshot of the message on twitter that read:\u00a0“Very creative video. I got through it. Congratulations. Live life on your terms. Very PROUD of you.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

New music out this weekend includes albums from Chris Stapleton, AC\/DC and Andrea Bocelli plus songs from Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X.<\/p>\n

Some viewers, however, thought the video walked down an “Old Town Road” that has already been walked before, drawing comparisons\u00a0to FKA twigs’ 2019 music video for “Cellophane.”<\/p>\n

“lil nas x beat fka twigs’ cellophane for best music video at the grammys then completely ripped it off,” user\u00a0@linoangelo_ tweeted.<\/p>\n

“LIL NAS X IS A BLATANT THIEF, COPYING FKA TWIGS\u2019s CELLOPHANE MUSIC VIDEO CONCEPT,” user\u00a0@takenolsjustws wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“i like the concept of guys doing something creative like this but like it\u2019s kinda copying of cellophane by fka twigs,” user\u00a0@anduwus wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
