Musician Lil Nas X announced his new album MONTERO is coming out September 17, 2021, but he did it in a pretty unusual way.

He posted to Twitter and Instagram a photo of himself "pregnant" and posed as if it was a baby announcement. The photoshoot look was complete with a flower crown, bouquet and a very realistic looking baby bump.


Lil Nas told PEOPLE he got the inspiration from Megan Thee Stallion's verse on his new song "Dolla Sign Slime."

He said:

"I was like, 'Oh my God, this is amazing,' so I immediately called my stylist."
"She was like, 'Wow, this all comes together. Your album. Your baby.'"
"I was like, 'Yeah, this is my baby, huh?' As a joke, she was like, 'Yeah, you should do a pregnancy shoot.'"

He continued:

"I was like, 'You know what? That's actually brilliant.'"
"So now we have this entire thing coming out, and it's going to be amazing."

The timing for this photoshoot added to the hilarity.

Lil Nas X somewhat hinted at the "pregnancy" while at the same time making fun of rapper Drake's new Certified Lover Boy album art.

The art he posted was originally created by @villain_studio.

Lil Nas X claimed it was purely a coincidence:

"I was like, 'There's no way the universe is lining up this perfect for this to happen."

Coincidence aside, his new album announcement has blown up the internet.

Lil Nas X even followed up with an ultrasound.









A few people mentioned the industry is misogynistic.

While Lil Nas X was able to do this fake pregnancy photoshoot, other artists like Halsey weren't allowed to create cover art because she was actually pregnant.



Lil Nas X also posted a series of bathroom selfies with the pregnant belly, which were even more hilarious than the original shoot.


But transgender musician Jaimie Wilson pointed out a missed opportunity for Lil Nas X to speak up about an important reality.

As Lil Nas X pointed out, it is interesting how the universe seems to align in these ways.

Jesse Watters' Fox News Cohosts Call Out His 'Creepy' Rant About 'High-Value Man' Stephen Miller

Fox News personality Jesse Watters weirded out his own co-hosts after he claimed that New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez secretly wants to sleep with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller after she "short-shamed" him.

In an Instagram livestream earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them." She called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
