Welcome to Montero.”Īddressing the message behind the controversial music video over the weekend, Lil Nas X posted a letter to his childhood self, stating in part: “Dear 14-year-old Montero, I wrote a song with our name in it. In the spoken opening of the music video, Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, says: “In life, we hide the parts of ourselves we don’t want the world to see, we lock them away, we tell them no, we banish them. The collaboration comes on the heels of the release of the rapper’s new music video for “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” which has drawn its own mixed feelings, with some celebrating its message and others denouncing its biblical imagery, including the rapper giving a lap dance to a figure dressed as Satan.
