Lil Nas X has recently been caught in the middle of a controversy surrounding his latest single and its accompanying music video. Many have expressed concerns about the offensive nature of the video, particularly its references to Christianity. In response, the entertainer took to social media to address the issue and clarify his intentions.
In a post shared on his Twitter account, Lil Nas X shared a video where he addressed the criticism of his music video. Some have called it sacrilegious, especially with its depiction of religious symbols like Communion. While the artist wanted to express the true meaning behind the song, he did not apologize for his artistic vision.
"Hello everyone," he began in the video. "I wanted to take a moment to explain where my head has been for the past week. I know some people may have been offended by the artwork and visuals in my music video, especially because religion is a sensitive topic for many. But I want to make it clear that I did not intend to mock anyone."
Lil Nas X went on to explain that his intention was not to disrespect Christianity. Rather, he wanted to use the imagery of Jesus to represent his own comeback in the music industry. However, he did acknowledge that the promotional video, which featured cannibalistic undertones, may have been too far. He apologized for any offense it may have caused, stating that he did not fully understand the seriousness of the act.
"Although I may not agree with all of Christianity's beliefs and practices, I do apologize for any harm I may have caused. I know that not everyone follows the religion strictly, or the world would be a much crazier place. This is not just an attempt to make things right, but also to clear my own conscience. I know I made a mistake and it has taken a toll on me mentally."
This new era of Lil Nas X's music is a stark contrast from his previous work, which had a more Satanic theme. The rapper has always been open about his complicated relationship with religion, but he wants to make it clear that he never meant to "diss" any religious customs or beliefs. He ended the video by stating that despite the controversy, he will continue to spread love through his upcoming music.
"I believe that I was put on this Earth to bring people together and promote love. That's who I am. I'm not an evil demon trying to destroy anyone's values. I hope that eventually, we can move past this and focus on the rest of this era and the music that I have planned. Thank you for listening."
