Nas X Has Created Plenty Of Controversy In 2021 As Well
Nas X's huge run this year, began back in late March. Then, his Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" single was released, and everyone was interested in this record a lot. When he put out the music video for it that night, the backlash came in. He was seen twerking on Satan in those visuals, and many felt that he was out of line. Following that release, he launched his Nike Air Max 97 "Satan Shoes," which contained blood at the bottom, had a satanic emblem on the front, and also had a Luke 10:18 Bible verse on the side. The shoes also retailed for $1,018, but Nike shut those unauthorized sales, quickly, as a result of a lawsuit that they filed.
Nas X Doesn't Believe That He Should Be A Role Model
Nas X also appeared in a new Breakfast Club interview yesterday and was unapologetic in how he feels about the public believing that he should be a role model. He explained that it's not his job to parent other people's kids and to watch for the content that is put out, in fear of what they should see. Nas X said "f*ck your kids" on the air, but ended up quickly realizing that that was a bad choice, and would put him in even more headlines that he doesn't want to see himself in.
