Lil Nas X Has A Message For Haters As 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name)' Gallops To No. 1

In addition to calling him by your name, you can also call Lil Nas X a two-time Billboard No. 1 artist. The 21-year-old’s latest single, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” reached the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 charts on April 5. In response, he’s rightfully taken to social media to revel in the achievement and, of course, share a few SpongeBob memes along the way.

“Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” is Lil Nas X’s second single to hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts after his record-pulverizing hit “Old Town Road" back in 2019. Now, with a fresh record under his belt, he's taking a stand against haters who have tried to undermine him throughout his meteoric rise to stardom.

“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 given up. But four multi-platinum songs and two #1’s later, he’s still here.”

Lil Nas X's latest single is his most personal yet, so much so that he even penned a letter to his 14-year-old self about his decision to release it. Its visually stunning music video, which sees him spiral down a stripper pole to hell and seducing the devil, has garnered over 96 million views at the time of this writing and, of course, a flurry of reactions online due to its religious imagery.
