Lil Nas X teases music video he wrote and directed


Lil Nas X has teased an upcoming music video that he wrote and directed.

The 24-year-old rapper took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday night to announce that he is gearing up to release his latest project.

"Wrote and directed my own music video for the first time," Nas, real name Montero Hill, announced to his fans. "Excited for y'all to see. It's the best one yet!"

He seemingly teased the content of the video by adding emojis of a church, a dove and a white heart.

The rapper rose to fame in 2019 with his viral hit Old Town Road, which became the longest-running number-one song since the Billboard chart debuted in 1958. The song was followed by his debut album Montero, which was released in 2021.

Nas most recently released a documentary film titled Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero, which premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival in September.

In February, the Industry Baby hitmaker told his fans that he wanted to take his time with his sophomore album.

"It's mostly planning now," he wrote on X/Twitter at the time. "I could easily just release music but i have to build moments around this s**t. i have to go bigger than before!"
