Lil Nas X‘s sultry performance of “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” on Saturday Night Live over the weekend was a queer tour de force, but it didn’t come without its moment of slight terror for the 22-year-old performer.
A good old fashioned live TV wardrobe malfunction became a mid-song dilemma for Nas X, and it’s safe to say he handled the situation like a pro.

“So, I was, um, pretty much going down the pole, doing my little sexy dropdown and BOOM, I feel air,” he recalled. “I was like, ‘There’s definitely a breeze going on,’ and I also feel like there’s popping still happening while I was down there. I was like, ‘Just please don’t be on TV already.’” The worst part is at the end, the dancers are supposed to touch me and tug on me and they were tugging on the pants. I was like, ‘Please, God, no.’”

Lenny Kravitz did it first, did it better and has a bigger D.

As a retired pastor, I did not find this performance even slightly amusing. Perhaps his wardrobe malfunction was God’s way of telling him what he was doing was pushing the envelope just too far.

No. The seam gave way cause there wasn’t enough stretchiness in the fabric. God doesn’t have anything to do with it. As if some omnipotent being in the universe gives a shit about the shïtstains that are polluting this planet and hunting animals to extinction.

Too far for whom? You didn’t have to watch it. Remember, this is a secular nation. Freedom of religion is meaningless unless it also includes freedom from religion.

I’m so glad you are following Jesus and giving all your wealth to the needy.

Good, I hope Lil Nas X continues to annoy you.

ICK KINDA like a black Britney Sp’s meets Michael Jackson. Get new all ready!

His dad, rapper Nas, was probably embarrassed for his son.
Leash
Are you joking? They are not related. Also why do you feel the need to make assumptions about how his father probably feels about this? From what I’ve read online his father is supportive of him.

He’s gay so he wears an all-pink cowboy outfit and hyper-sexualizes his performances. Maybe a little too on the nose?
I’m waiting for a more sophisticated representative.
That said, he can’t sing worth a damn.
scotty
sing? have you laid eyes on the man? i dont care if he sings or not, just pass that bathwater. you go lil nas x you keep on goin.
Jimmy
I think he’s hot as hell. When I think about the things I’d do to him…..Mmm, Mmm, Mmm.
