After selling the news of his fake pregnancy to whoever cares to listen, Lil Nas X has finally birthed his debut album, Montero.
In a dramatic YouTube skit, the 22-year-old hitmaker`s water breaks, and he is taken to hospital, where he welcomes his next musical chapter to the world.
As if dropping an entire album wasn`t enough, Lil Nas X also created the steamy That`s What I Want music video, complete with a Brokeback Mountain tribute and a surprise appearance by Billy Porter.
I’ve changed the way that I handle a lot of situations, the way I manage my sadness and anger, and just understanding that I don’t have to react to emotions in certain ways, Nas X told PEOPLE. I can’t choose how I feel, but I can choose how to react. I’ve learned to let people’s comments roll off my back.
You’re getting a lot of stories about me. You’re getting a lot of stories about my past and where I want to be in my love life. But they’re also a bop. I feel like I finally found a great balance between being as real as possible within my music and making a hit song.
