This Long Live Montero Tourwill be an opportunity for the young artist with 50 million listens per month on Spotify to present his latest album to his audience, Monterowhich had met with great success when it was released in 2021 and provoked some conservative minds…
He became in a few months the phenomenon of US rap: at only 23 years old, Lil Nas X makes each of his appearances an event. Born on April 9, 1999 in Douglas County, Georgia in the United States, he was passionate about music very early on and began playing the trumpet at the age of seven. After a stint at university, he began to break through on the Internet, especially on Twitter (where he now has 6.1 million subscribers). In 2019, the young rapper unveiled a first project, an EP called 7 and composed of eight tracks, including the hit Old Town Road which will make it known throughout the world or Rodeoin collaboration with Cardi B.
Lil Nas X also made headlines for coming out gay in June 2019 for Pride Month. A past master in terms of media earthquakes and provocation, the rapper has not finished talking about him.
Lil Nas X disturbs the most conservative fringe of Americans. Among the controversies to his credit, that triggered by the sale of his Satan Shoes (“satanic shoes”), Monday March 29, 2021, by the company MSCHF. A limited edition of 666 Air Max 97 sneakers, black, a cross on the tongue and a sole filled with a red liquid. All referring to the devil, which earned Lil Nas X to be accused of satanism and blasphemy for several days. Especially since in the famous red liquid of the sole would have been poured a drop of human blood.
However, for the young 23-year-old rapper, the marketing operation, on the eve of the Christian Easter holiday, was a clear success: his 666 pairs of sneakers at 1,018 dollars (about 860 euros) were snapped up in a few minutes. But Lil Nas X and the MSCHF company have drawn the wrath of Nike, which claims not to have been “associated with this project”. A new buzz for the one who had already ignited the Web with the sulphurous clip of Montero, released in April 2021 and in which he took over scenes from the Bible in his own way, pole dancing in hell or a lap dance on the devil himself.
