The always-provocative Lil Nas X has announced his new single, “J CHRIST,” out this Friday (January 12th).
“MY NEW SINGLE IS DEDICATED TO THE MAN WHO HAD THE GREATEST COMEBACK OF ALL TIME!” the rapper/singer wrote in an Instagram post promoting the track. He also teased the song with a brief social media clip, which you can watch below.
Last week, Lil Nas X shared the motivation for his next era. “when i started making music yall told me i was just another twitter rapper. then i made the biggest song of all time,” he wrote on Twitter. “yall called me a one hit wonder. then i dropped one the most streamed albums of the year with 3 top 5 hits. now yall saying my new shit not finna do nothing. At some point yall gotta realize I am gods favorite.”
“J CHRIST” marks Lil Nas X’s first single in two years and arrives just before the January 27th debut of his documentary Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero on HBO and Max. This past September, Lil Nas X teased a possible “Brazilian funk record” while premiering the film at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Lil Nas X’s latest album was his 2021 debut effort, Montero.
