Lil Nas X Announces New Single Amid 'J Christ' Controversy

The rapper seeks to move past the backlash with 'Where Do We Go Now' and the premiere of his documentary 'Long Live Montero'.

Lil Nas X is releasing a new single, 'Where Do We Go Now', on Friday, January 26, following the controversy surrounding his previous single 'J Christ'.
The 'J Christ' single, which used religious iconography and portrayed Lil Nas X on the cross, was met with backlash from the Christian community and conservatives.
Lil Nas X has responded to the criticism, stating that the song was a metaphor for his resurrected career and not intended to mock or disrespect Christianity.
The rapper's new song announcement comes alongside the news of his documentary, 'Long Live Montero', premiering on Max (formerly HBO Max) on Saturday, January 27.
'J Christ' debuted at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100, a lower position than Lil Nas X's previous releases.
