Grammy award-winning rapper Lil Nas X dropped the video and song for his highly anticipated third single “Industry Baby” on Friday and fans are loving it.

A week before the release, the “Rodeo” star teased his supposed court appearance on Monday for the Satan Shoes drama with Nike following the release of “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”.

The “Old Town Road” rapper had also been teasing “Industry Baby” in various TikTok videos with a snippet used as the audio.

With the single, he also dropped a video for the song featuring a prison-themed set-up, along with one of the hottest new rappers Jack Harlow.

In the video, Lil Nas is seen in various set-ups in the Montero Prison, including a dance sequence with his backup dancers in the nude.

He also references his other videos, along with a poster of his now-iconic kiss at the BET Awards.

“American Horror Story” star Colton Haynes also makes a cameo in the video

Lil Nas X previously admitted that he is “insecure” about his sexuality after being “conditioned” to “hate” himself for being gay.

The 22-year-old rapper admitted he is trying to “unlearn” attitudes he had when he was growing up and though he’s taking steps forward, he still has a “long way to go”.

Lil Nas made the admission while responding to a homophobic backlash he received following his performance at the BET Awards, in which he ended his “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” by passionately kissing his male back-up dancer.

One critic tweeted: “You’re so insecure about your sexuality you’re over-compensating for it every chance you get. Gay people who know themselves don’t constantly have to remind everyone that they are gay.”

LIL Nas responded: “You’re right i am insecure about my sexuality. I still have a long way to go. i’ve never denied that.”
