Lil Nas X Dunks on Satan in Heavenly New ‘J CHRIST’ Video: Watch

He’s pole danced to hell , he’s broken out of prison and he’s even eloped with his football playing boyfriend . Now, Lil Nas X is ready to strut his way through the Pearly Gates. On Friday (Jan. 12), the rapper shared his much hyped music video for “ J CHRIST ,” taking the Biblical title to its furthest extent.

The clip opens with a series of celebrity lookalikes — ranging from Taylor Swift to Kanye West to a moonwalking Michael Jackson — as they climb the stairway to heaven. Upon arrival, they’re greeted at the entrance by a dragged up Lil Nas X, declaring he’s reading to “walk up in the club poppin’ s–t like it was Doublemint.” The video — directed by Lil Nas X himself — then proceeds to show a series of callbacks to his hellish video for “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” showing the oft discussed pole to hell and a demonic Lil Nas X stirring a cauldron of arms and legs.

Flying back up to heaven, Lil Nas reunites with his former flame the Devil, this time in a one on one basketball game where the rapper soars over his head, dunks the ball, and celebrates with a personalized cheerleading routine. For the remainder of the video, fans are treated to a host of Biblical vignettes — Jesus’ crucifixion, Nabal shearing David’s sheep, Moses parting the Red Sea — before the rapper transforms into Noah, ushering the denizens of Earth onto a massive ark to survive the flooding of the world.

“Back up out the gravesite/ B—h, I’m back like J Christ,” he declares over a pounding beat. “I’m finna get the gays hype/ I’m finna take it yay high.” As a storm subsides and Nas’ Noah survives, the screen declares that this is “Day Zero” of “a new beginning,” sharing a quote from 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” The “J CHRIST” video comes after Lil Nas X spent much of the week promoting his single the best way he knows how — trolling. Whether he was posting a fake acceptance letter to Liberty University or declaring that his new music would be released independently , the singer made sure that his name was on everyone’s lips throughout the week.
