Lil Nas X will debut his documentary, "Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero," at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival next month.

The documentary was reportedly shot over 60 days with unparalleled access through the creation and performance of the Grammy award-winning rapper's acclaimed "Long Live Montero" show.

Filmmaker Carlos López Estrada took the helm on the film, bringing in his stellar talents, which were previously seen in "Blindspotting," "Raya and the Last Dragon," and well-executed music videos for Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, and Carly Rae Jepsen.

He is joined as a co-director by Zac Manuel, who helmed "Time," "Alone," "America," and "This Body."

Per the official synopsis, the film "follows Lil Nas X as he embarks on his first ever global tour." It further explains that it "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."

TIFF's CEO, Cameron Bailey, also had words of praise for the documentary ahead of its debut in September.

"Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero is a triumphant ode to the extraordinary power of self-expression, music, and identity," he said, per Deadline.

He added, "In this groundbreaking documentary, we witness Lil Nas X challenging boundaries and reshaping the artistic landscape. The film's captivating journey underscores the profound impact of Lil Nas X, who fearlessly brings audiences together through the universal language of music."

On social media, fans have revealed that they are eager for the film to debut and have lauded the rapper for making a documentary worthy of being shown at TIFF.

A second fan commented, "I AM SO EXCITED TO WATCH MY KING AGAIN FOR ONE OF THE BEST LIVE SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEE."

Another person wrote, "Can't wait to see this. I love a good music documentary."

"This movie better have every sex scene, car chase, explosion, and musical number imaginable," wrote an excited fan.

One more fan penned, "If it's even half as creative, emotional, and exhilarating as his actual concerts, it'll be a masterpiece. Can't wait to see it."

The news of the documentary comes over a month after the rapper was announced as the latest global ambassador for footwear giant Crocs. The exact value of the deal remains uncertain, though indications point to a potential worth in the millions of dollars.

"I'm always all about taking things to the next level, so I'm super excited to partner with Crocs on this new height collection," said Lil Nas X in a statement, per Variety. "These new styles are so sick, and I know everyone's going to love them!"

They had previously partnered successfully with other musicians like SZA, Diplo, Post Malone, and Justin Bieber.
