2021 has seen Lil Nas X push the envelope further and further, between his unambiguously homoerotic video for “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” to his performance of the song on “Saturday Night Live” (which was as memorable for his accidental pants-split as his interaction with his dancers). And on Sunday night, on the BET Awards, he pushed the envelope even further, ending his ancient-Egyptian-themed performance of “Montero” (paying tribute to Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time”) with a long soul kiss with one of his male dancers.

The immediate reaction on Twitter was largely positive — it didn’t hurt that the performance took place at the end of Pride weekend.

Nas has released three singles in the past seven months: the holiday-themed “Holiday,” “Montero” and the latest, “Sun Goes Down.” The first two featured elaborate, CGI-heavy videos, but the third is memorable for a different reason, showing a young Nas at his prom, where he is ostracized by his classmates until he meets his future self, who encourages him to be himself. The video ends happily. with Nas taking over the dancefloor.
