Nas is "thinking that he can make money,” Owens said in her video, before alleging both are being “used” by corporations “to initiate evil throughout American society”.

While Nike said they had nothing to do with the release or design of the shoes and even sued MSCHF for trademark infringement, the company has yet not pulled the line. The backlash at Nas X comes after he designed Nike sneakers with the company MSCHF and promoted the collection of 666 pieces available with satanist references. Owens claimed these organizations are using Black Americans and people like Nas X are ultimately just a “pawn in a larger game” who “does not understand what’s happening”. Joining those criticizing the singer is conservative pundit Candace Owens, who went on a Twitter rant calling the media and corporations a 'sick culture' for promoting items such as Nas X's new product.

The release dropped alongside a poignant open letter written and published on social media by the Georgia-based musician, addressed to his 14 -year-old self. But some critics say the video is strikingly similar to a fellow artists’. Lil Nas X’s new video “Montero” was a vulnerable expression of the singer’s sexuality. “If Eve ain’t in your garden, you know that you can,” he sings, possibly referring to the biblical damnation of homosexuality. “I’m not phased, only here to sin,” Lil Nas X sings in the bawdy new video, rife with biblical and mythological symbolism, which sees the 21-year-old scantily clad in an Eden-like fantasy world before finding himself banished to hell - but not before he dances down a celestial pole to the underworld. Now, instead of riding off into the sunset, he’s sliding down a stripper pole - straight to hell, where he gives satan an NSFW lap dance that quickly became a meme among fans.
