Lil Nas X is giving fans a glimpse of his upcoming Nasarati 2 mixtape, by sharing some teasers of songs from the project. Yesterday (March 13) on TikTok, he posted a video of himself rapping in an airport. However, as of right now, it is currently unavailable on the app.
“My big sis just had another baby, popped him out the labia / My other nephew sitting in class with a broken knuckle,” Lil Nas X raps, before pointing out a fight happening. “Now listen, I ain’t saying I condone that sh*t / F*ck it, I’m saying I condone that sh*t,” he said in the video.
As for why he might have taken the snippet down, Lil Nas X has been vocal about his struggle when it comes to putting out his music — and the fear that comes with it. “Been hoarding music for years smh i hate my relationship with fear of my songs not doing well and perception,” he shared on Instagram previously. “i wish i could just release music and not give af.”
He also asked fans to pick their favorites out of the little clips he’s released so far, so he simply might be building anticipation and interest in certain songs that way.
When you’re a star, one of the highest honors you can receive is a wax figure. In most cases, Madame Tussaud is responsible for the many meticulous sculptures, which can take up to 20 different artists to complete. The wax museum has locations all over the world, which all create their own wax renditions of different stars.
Other than Madam Tussaud, there is only one other artist that has earned quite a buzz by creating very realistic wax figures. Just recently on Jan 29, artist Mr. Officials, (@mr.officials.llc) posted his tribute re-creation of the late Takeoff. With over 66,000 likes, even celebrities are commenting on how the sculpture is one of the most realistic they’ve seen. Here’s a list of celebs with the best wax figures we’ve seen over the years.
Rapper Lil Nas X revealed his wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hollywood. He said he was shocked by how realistic the figure was pic.twitter.com/dVhOsO2USr
In Sept 2022, Madame Tussaud’s Hollywood unveiled its uncanny, yet faultless wax sculpture of rapper Lil Nas X. The wax figure dons a replication of the gold Versace armor suit Nas wore at the 2021 Met Gala, including a Versace earring, choker and nail art. But the most intricate detail about the “Old Town Road” singer’s life-size sculpture is a replica of his diamond grill, making it the first wax figure in Madame Tussaud’s history to wear one.
One night in Sept 2021, Drake surprised his London fans with a legendary performance at the Wireless Festival. In tribute to that night, Madame Tussaud’s London created the Canadian rapper’s outfit from that special show. The OVO Sound CEO wore a camouflage shirt and matching pants, a bright green puffer jacket, and white Nike Air Force 1s. His tattoos and ear piercings are included on the wax figure. Further, his signature facial hair and the heart-shaved into his hairline represent his Certified Lover Boy era. According to Madame Tussaud, his likeness also sports replica pieces of Cartier and Van Cleef jewelry.
Nipsey Hussle
In 2022, Mr. Officials (@mr.officials.llc) created the wax figure of the late rapper/activist Nipsey Hussle.Taking nine months to create, an Instagram video shows the process. “The most tedious part, however, is making the hair,” Mr. Officials said. The wax figure also has exact replicas of Nipsey’s tattoos and his signature jewelry. This is reportedly the only Nipsey Hussle wax figure and is not a part of Madam Tussaud’s. However, it did debut in the SouthPark Mall in Cleveland, OH.
Tiffany Haddish
Cousins! Madame Tussaud’s in Las Vegas has officially unveiled a Tiffany Haddish wax figure apart of their signature collection! Did they nail it? pic.twitter.com/U1AhMdpEM0
Tiffany Haddish met her wax figure in Sept 2021 at Madam Tussaud’s Las Vegas. The figure wears the infamous Alexander McQueen dress that Haddish wore on multiple occasions. This included her Saturday Night Live performance, the 90th Academy Awards Show, also the red carpet premiere for her movie Girls Trip. The outfit holds special meaning for Haddish; a symbol of her breaking the rule of wearing a dress multiple times.
Jack Harlow was immortalized in July 2023 by Madame Tussaud’s Las Vegas. And the “What’s Poppin” singer could not believe the similarities of his wax figure. It wears a custom-designed suit from his music video for “Churchill Downs”(feat. Drake.) Additionally, his wax figure’s hands are draped in a crystallized necklace with a Kentucky state-shaped pendant. It took the 20 artists six months to create the figure.
ATTENTION:My WAX FIGURE is OFFICIALLY in @madametussaudsusa Museum in #LasVegas!YOU MUST SEE IT IN PERSON It’s INSANEThe braids in my hair they did strand by strand NO wig or unit & My outfit is from the @vmas when I received the Michael Video Vanguard Award!pic.twitter.com/YBfrdavmmI
Missy Elliott’s wax figure is a recreation of her legendary appearance at the 2019 VMAs, where she was awarded the Video Vanguard Award. Twenty artists went over approximately 200 measurements and photographs of Elliott to capture her exact features. Having creative control over her figure’s fashion and accessories, the result makes it hard to tell the two apart. The figure dons one of her signature tracksuits with an intricate hand embellishment. It also includes a pair of her own Versace sneakers—which she donated. Her elaborate braid design was done “strand by strand.” The doppelgänger is a part of Madam Tussaud’s Las Vegas collection and debuted on Nov 4, 2022.
Of all the “Kardashian Klan,” it’s Kourtney and momager Kris Jenner who have the most amazingly real-looking wax figures. In May 2019, fans visiting Madame Tussaud’s in New York City were able to see the figures together. The likeness was even more uncanny because Kris wore the exact ensemble to her unveiling. Making it impossible to tell the difference in pics posted on her official X (Twitter) page.
Just when the public began to turn down the flames on the “Doja Cat is a Satanist” claims, Lil Nas X entered public discourse to ignite yet another online holy war. After announcing his musical baptism and (phony) biblical studies plans, Lil Nas X unveiled his latest single, “J Christ.”
From the track’s artwork recreating Jesus’ crucifixion to the official video (in which the devil makes a cameo), religious leaders have been clamoring for Lil Nas X to repent for his artistic choices. However, that’s not going to happen anytime soon. On January 29, during an appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, Lil Nas X doubled down on his decision. In response to the religious backlash sparked by the record, Lil Nas X held firm to his artistic vision.
“I’ve never been here, mentally and even physically, where… you push your art into the world, and it’s received negatively by the majority,” he said. “But then, like, also understanding why and having to see it through… I’m usually strategic with things, and I can kind of move the conversation.”
Lil Nas X admitted that the swift blowback was initially “depressing” but quickly added that those who are upset should be “mad with themselves.”
“Artistically, it was just supposed to be like, I’m returning… I’m back like [Jesus],” he added. “[But] it turned into this whole thing where it was me trying to dunk on Christians or something. That was never what it was. And then I looked at the video with me eating the communion or whatnot, and I was like, ‘Okay, this looks really bad on paper – this thing that I thought was just, like, a little jokey, fun video.’”
Lil Nas X previously took to Instagram to address the pushback.
Throughout Lil Nas X’s career, the songs that have helped him blow up are his blockbuster bangers. Go figure though right? But, one of the more underrated talents he possesses is the ability to write thought-provoking tracks. That is what he is bringing to the table this week with “Where Do We Go Now?” This is Nas X’s second single in two weeks. The reason why this one is out so quickly is that his documentary is dropping tomorrow.
This single will be able to be heard in Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero. The Georgia native is showing fans what it was like during the first world tour of his still-young journey in music. His film will be out on Max and HBO on January 27 at 8 p.m. Since we know that this is a song that accompanies this project, it will be interesting to see if his next tape will be a soundtrack.
Although, “J CHRIST” has some underlying meanings tied to Christianity and the Gospel. So, who knows at this point? But, what we can tell you is that Nas X hit it out of the park with this one. Debatably, this may be the better put-together track out of the two. While it may perform even worse than its predecessor, “Where Do We Go Now?” is minimal but effective. The quaint and singer/songwriter-like production paired with his lyrics about feeling lost with himself are a match made in heaven. Give it a try with the link above.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Where Do We Go Now?” by Lil Nas X? Is this going to be the best track from his upcoming record? Do you like when he gets more emotional, or when he delivers bangers? Which track is the stronger of the two and why? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Quotable Lyrics:
Suddenly, gravity’s just like me Pullin’ me down every chance it gets Holdin’ me bound to the way I is, oh And therapy, there’s no need It ain’t no good for me Why would I wanna talk about the s*** I did?
Lil Nas X has unveiled a new original track, “Where Do We Go Now? (Music from Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero),” co-written with Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin. The song is part of Lil Nas X’s contribution to his upcoming HBO Original documentary, “LIL NAS X: LONG LIVE MONTERO.”
Featured in the end credits of the documentary, “Where Do We Go Now?” accompanies the narrative of Lil Nas X’s journey and experiences. The HBO documentary is set to premiere on Saturday, January 27 (8:00-9:35 p.m. ET/PT) and will be available for streaming on HBO Max.
LIL NAS X: LONG LIVE MONTERO captures the creative dynamo and mesmerizing star power of Lil Nas X, the groundbreaking, Grammy award-winning rapper, singer, and songwriter, as he prepares for and embarks on his first-ever headlining U.S. tour. With unparalleled access, the film follows the genre-breaking artist on a personal journey of self-investigation and discovery as he creates, rehearses, and performs nightly in front of his legions of devoted fans.
Lil Nas X has the world talking. His latest video, “J Christ” has been met with praise by fans, as well as controversy from Christian conservatives (as was expected). This weekend, the pop and hip-hop hitmaker is set to drop his documentary Long Live Montero, which will give fans a look at his rise to fame, coming out, and handling scrutiny from the public. Ahead of the documentary, Lil Nas X has shared a new song, “Where Do We Go Now?,” written just for the film.
On the song, which was produced by Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin, Lil Nas X finds himself wondering what’s next. He’s had an impressive run as a gamechanger in the mainstream music landscape, however, seems to be grappling with the mixed emotions that come with fame.
“Where do we go now? / We’ve seen everything we had to see / We figured it out, my love / So where are we goin’? / So where do we go now? / We did everything so endlessly / And only to feel undone / So where are we goin’?,” he sings on the song’s chorus.
The song serves as a bridge between Lil Nas X’s debut Montero era, and the world he’s creating with his imminent second album.
You can listen to “Where Do We Go Now?” above.
Long Live Montero will be available for streaming on Max beginning 1/27.
Lil Nas X is a master of trolling. His ability to get people talking is uncanny and that was the case with “J CHRIST.” It is the lead single to the Georgia artist’s forthcoming sophomore record that has no release date or title yet. Months and months before the semi-gospel-inspired cut hit streaming services, it was receiving massive amounts of backlash. The main reason is because of Nas X’s comments online.
Maybe this time around for him will be different. Uproxx recently reported that Nas X announced a second single “Where Do We Go Now?” and it will drop this Friday, January 26. He captioned the IG post, “good news yall im dropping new music to match with your depression. ” There could be a secret plan behind dropping another one so soon. It could be a sign the album is dropping soon. Or, this has the potential to be somewhat of a response to all the people who were upset with him over “J CHRIST.” Especially with the caption, Nas X could be hinting at that and is trying to get under fans’ skin.
What are your thoughts on Lil Nas X announcing a new single, “Where Do We Go Now?” Will this be better than “J CHRIST,” why or why not? Is that track still in your rotation? Do you think he is dropping a new one so soon because of the negative backlash? Will this be one of the biggest albums of the year when he eventually drops it? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lil Nas X. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.
Lil Nas X is keeping fans fed. Earlier this month, the hitmaker and provocateur made an epic comeback with his buzzy single “J Christ” — the video of which depicts him being crucified and making an ascension into heaven. But it appears his next single will be a bit more personal.
Today (January 23), Lil Nas X announced his upcoming single, “Where Do We Go Now?”
The song is set to arrive this Friday (January 26), as Lil Nas X revealed on his social media accounts.
“im dropping new music to match with your depression,” he said in the post’s caption.
There’s not much context regarding the subject matter thus far, however, the song’s artwork sees a drawing of Lil Nas X standing in a lush, green field, and holding hands with what looks like a younger version of himself. So, it’s likely that the song will showcase Lil Nas X’s more introspective side.
If it’s anything like his Montero cuts “Dead Right Now” and “Sun Goes Down,” fans are certainly in for a ballad that will tug at the heartstrings.
“Where Do We Go Now?” arrives in tandem with Lil Nas X’s documentary, Long Live Montero, which is set to premiere on Saturday, January 27 on Max.
Last year, Lil Nas X made a splash at the Toronto International Film Festival with the premiere of a new documentary movie, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero. Soon, the film will be made available more widely, as its set to debut on HBO January 27 at 8 p.m. ET and start streaming via Max at the same time.
Today, a new two-minute trailer was shared, and it serves as an overarching summary of his journey so far, from early life to “Old Town Road,” from his sexuality to his fans and his haters.
A press release for the movie notes:
“The film […] follows Lil Nas X as he embarks on his first ever global tour. The diaristic film is a remarkably intimate portrait of an artist on tour navigating identity, family, expectations and acceptance, all while reflecting on his place within the legacy of Black, queer performers. Directed by Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero captures one of today’s most provocative pop stars at a transformational point in his life, both on and off stage. Shot over the course of 60 days with unparalleled access, the film follows Montero Hill, aka Lil Nas X, on an emotional odyssey through the creation and performance of the critically acclaimed Long Live Montero show.”
Another day, another rapper is mad at Lil Nas X about his “J CHRIST” single. This time, Louisiana rapper Hurricane Chris gives a strong message to Lil Nas X.
“Find you something else to play with besides Jesus,” Hurricane Chris said. “Don’t play with nobody religion. That’s some down bad ass shit.
He added, “You think just because you have your community behind you, that you can do anything at this point? You got this fucked up. We slide behind Jesus.”
Lil Nas X is responding to the backlash for his “J CHRIST” single. Hitting Instagram, Lil Nas X delivered a message claiming he “messed up really bad this time.”
“I can act unbothered all I want, but it’s definitely taken a mental toll on me,” Lil Nas X said. “I’m not some evil demon guy trying to destroy everybody’s values and stuff like that. That’s not me.”
He added, “When I did the artwork, I knew there would be some upset people simply because religion is a very sensitive topic for a lot of people. But I also didn’t mean to mock — this wasn’t a fuck you to the Christians. It was literally me saying I’m back like Jesus.”
