Lil Nas X Explains What He Contributes to His Music Video Concepts

Lil Nas X and his “Montero” music video have been making tons of headlines this past week, especially after the director of FKA twigs‘ “Cellophane” video said that the new video is a rip-off.

The 21-year-old rapper later released a statement saying that he was not aware that “the visual would serve as a major inspiration for those who worked on the effects of my video.”
