Lil Nas X shows off ‘baby bump’ for album teaser video

It's almost Lil Nas X's due date

Lil Nas X has shown off his pregnant belly on Instagram on Wednesday in a trio of snaps used for his baby shower. The Montero rapper posed for images at the event, surrounded by balloons, cake and even a throne. The party itself was draped in rich blues and stark whites, with themes of butterflies scattered throughout. https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2qeG1lI9a/ "About to kick off my baby shower," he said. He then shared a promo video for his Montero album that is due to release on September 17. The video shows a blindfolded Nax X walking into an empty baby shower. Gifts littered around the area seem to be from the likes of Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Doja Cat and his recent collaborator, Jack Harlow. Draped in a long blue kimono with a Michelangelo-style painting across the back, the rapper holds his stomach as the camera pans around the room. https://www.instagram.com/p/CT3B6unlm2Q/ The video cuts to an announcement at the end, reading: "Lil Nax X, Montero the album, Due September 17." A plethora of celebs have congratulated the 22-year-old rapper while also apologising for their absence at his party. "Where is the baby daddy sis?" asked Keke Palmer. "I sent u a bedazzled air fryer did u get it?" asked music producer John Cunningham. Entertainment Tonight wrote: "Our invite got lost in the mail!" Lil Nas X has quickly become the internet's biggest troll, with his pregnancy only scratching the surface of his bizarre and yet completely addictive sense of humour. After his video for Montero went viral for his incredible lap dance on Satan, Nas X has continued to break headlines and dominate music conversations. Then came the accusations of him capitalising on his homosexuality, so naturally, the singer made out with a male back-up dancer live on the BET awards stage. His second video for INDUSTRY BABY then used naked male dancers in the shower to further illustrate his point. Whether you love him or hate him, Lil Nas X is serving fans a masterclass is advertisement. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQvLnHrN6Pn/
