It says a lot that Lil Nas X chose to have men dance on him while the only woman in the video is hypersexualized by Harlow. The video features up-and-coming rapper Jack Harlow as an inmate who helps Nas escape. He raps the lyrics, “You was never really rooting for me anyway” while performing a flamboyant choreography that finds him naked in the prison showers with other inmates.
Three months later, Lil Nas X shows off a new set of grills, tattoos and a few inmates who give him lap dances in between cleaning the Grammys and plaques he has garnered from previous releases. Lil Nas X has delivered to the gays again with his most recent release, “ Industry Baby.” The music video begins with Lil Nas X being sentenced to five years in the aptly named Montero State Prison for being gay.
