Lil Nas X has uploaded the video of his chart-topping hit “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” to PornHub after learning it is no longer available on a handful of top streaming sites.

The controversial promo, which features the rapper performing a seductive dance with the devil, mysteriously no longer features on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube in some territories across the world, and now the “Old Town Road” hitmaker is looking at alternatives.

“Since call me by your name is no longer working on many streaming services i will be uploading the audio to pornhub at 3pm est,” he wrote on Twitter on Tuesday (13Apr21). “Not even joking. everybody stream call me by your name hard today because it may no longer be available tomorrow and there’s nothing i can really do about it. thanks for all the support tho!”

Executives at his record label, Columbia, have also been unable to clear up the mystery.

A statement reads, “Thanks for all your comments regarding @LilNasX ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’. It’s unfortunately out of our control but we are doing everything possible to keep the song up on streaming services. We will keep you up to date as we hear more. Thank you for understanding.”

Officials at the streaming sites insist the song has not been removed and it remains unclear what the issue is.

When the song and music video were first released, it did spark outrage from religious groups but the artist fired back, “I spent my entire teenage years hating myself because of the s**t y’all preached would happen to me because i was gay. so i hope u are mad, stay mad, feel the same anger you teach us to have towards ourselves.”

The success of ‘Montero (Call Me by Your Name)’ comes exactly two years since the young rapper released his record-breaking country crossover hit ‘Old Town Road’.

AceShowbiz –
Lil Nas X has scored another TransAtlantic double after topping the Billboard Hot 100 with “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”.

The track hit the top of the U.K. charts on Friday, April 2 and now the rapper’s new tune has shot to the top of the North American singles countdown.

The success comes exactly two years since he released his record-breaking country crossover hit “Old Town Road”.

“Y’all told a 19 year old who had just escaped the lowest point of his life that he would never have a hit again,” he tweeted. “you told him to stop while he’s ahead. he could’ve gave up. But 4 multi platinum songs and 2 #1’s later, he’s still here. thank you to my team and my fans! [sic]”.

In a separate Instagram post, Nas, real name Montero Lamar Hill, recalled feeling sorry for himself just before he started working with Montero co-writers and producers Take a Daytrip, Omer Fedi, and Roy Lenzo in 2020, crying in the studio.

“i was sitting in my apartment thinking it was all over for me,” he wrote. “i was trying so hard to be perfect, to please everyone, and not make any enemies. that stifled me creatively. i felt so sorry for myself. but around this time in 2020 i pulled it together, me, daytrip, omer, & roy, worked for months on end.”

“One day in june i was working on a song and found myself leaving the studio every 10 minutes to cry. but i didn’t stop working, a melody came to my mind. ‘call me when u want na-na-na-na na’, and i knew it was something special about it, fast forward a year later it’s the biggest song in the world. thank you guys so much. we get to decide OUR own destiny, never let the world decide it for YOU! i love you! [sic]”.

The song has also debuted at number two on Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, behind Justin Bieber’s “Peaches”, which “Montero” unseats to become America’s number one.

“Peaches”, featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, drops to two, while Silk Sonic’s “Leave the Door Open” holds at three.

The ‘Old Town Road’ hitmaker steps outside his safe boundaries as he tells love story from the queer narratives in his new single ‘Montero (Call Me by Your Name)’.

Apr 5, 2021

AceShowbiz –
Lil Nas X upped the ante with his new music. While he did talk about lean and adultery in his previous breakout single “Old Town Road”, the lyrics and music video were quite PG. However, things got more explicit with his brand new single “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)”.

The 21-year-old singer/rapper also got steamy with the accompanying music video. While talking about falling in love with a man who was still living “in the closet,” the Grammy-winning artist frolicked with his onscreen love interest depicted as alien and portrayed by himself.

The song, inspired by Timothee Chalamet-fronted movie, soon went viral. It also sparked criticisms from conservative groups, but the backlash only added fuel to the popularity. It debuted at the first position on the U.K. Singles chart as well as the all-genre U.S. iTunes sales chart and bowed at No. 3 on the US Spotify chart. It’s also expected to make a high debut on Billboard Hot 100.

While Lil Nas X was unbothered by the controversies that included debate over the accompanying “Satan Shoes,” he still felt the need to put the religious groups that attacked him in check as he wrote on Twitter, “I spent my entire teenage years hating myself because of the s**t y’all preached would happen to me because i was gay. so i hope u are mad, stay mad, feel the same anger you teach us to have towards ourselves.”

The star vows to remain unapologetic as he continues to stay true to himself in his upcoming debut album which features the single. “With this album, my writing from the past has improved by 100 per cent,” he said. “I’m writing about my actual life and things that I’m actually going through. This album will give people a greater sense of who I am and what I stand for.”

In a new interview for the “Spout” podcast, the “Old Town Road” star, real name Montero Lamar Hill, explains his contribution to his music video concepts.

Asked if he gives input to the costumes he wears and he said, “Ohh, one hundred (per cent)! Especially with music videos, and you know, everything in general like, I have my amazing stylist Hodo.”

“We work together and we create these characters and we create these moments.”

Taking about his music videos and the concepts for them, Nas X added, “I write out the treatment for my music videos.”

The music video sparked response from fellow artist FKA twigs. She reached out to the rapper to point out similarities between her work and his.

He was quick to address the matter, “I was not aware that the visual would serve as a major inspiration for those who worked on the effects of my video.”

But he was grateful to FKA twigs for letting him know about the issue, “I want to say thank u to twigs for calling me and informing me about the similarities between the two videos, as i was not aware they were so close. was only excited for the video to come out. i understand how hard you worked to bring this visual to life. you deserve so much more love and praise.”

She responded in kind, “Thank you @lilnasx for our gentle honest conversations and for acknowledging the inspiration cellophane gave you and your creative team in creating your iconic video!”

While he appeared to be defiant in his previous responses to the criticism over the music video of his latest single, the ‘Old Town Road’ hitmaker claims his ‘anxiety is higher than ever’ now.

AceShowbiz –
Lil Nas X does have concerns after his “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” music video sparked backlash. Despite his seemingly defiant responses to the criticism, the rapper has now admitted that the whole controversy surrounding the clip and his “MONTERO”-inspired shoes has taken a toll on him emotionally.

“i’ll be honest all this backlash is putting an emotional toll on me,” so he tweeted on Monday, March 29. “i try to cover it with humor but it’s getting hard,” he confessed, before revealing, “my anxiety is higher than ever.”

Still, he included a promotion for his latest single as he concluded his tweet with, “and stream call me by your name on all platforms now!”

Nikita Dragun also sent supportive message to the rapper.

Lil Nas came under fire following the release of the “MONTERO” music video on Friday, March 26. While many praised the clip’s prominent LGBT themes, others took issue with the overt sexuality and invocation of religious imagery.

Speaking with Genius, the Grammy-winning artist explained what it is he wanted to say with the provocative new song. “I was like, ‘It’s about time I say something out of pocket in a song,’ ” he said of the openly sexual lyrics in the song. “Let’s normalize having these f**king lines in songs, the same way somebody might talk about f**king a girl or f**king a guy.”

He added that the song’s title was inspired by 2017’s film “Call Me by Your Name” starring Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet. “That was one of the first gay films that I had watched, and I thought the theme was so dope of calling somebody by your own name,” he said. “The way everything is shot, the way the dialogue goes on, the way the background sounds are used, everything about it is so artsy.”

Lil Nas previously seemed to poke fun at the controversy over his “MONTERO” music video by posting a “bathroom of hell” edit version. The video’s title describes the scene that features bathroom stall as “MONTERO but ur in the bathroom of hell while lil nas is giving satan a lap dance in the other room.”
