Lil Nas X has given us many amazing music videos over the years, and his next one will be directed by none other than himself! The Grammy-winning rapper teased the start of his next era by dropping hints about the upcoming self-directed visual on social media.

Lil Nas X ended 2023 by sharing some exciting news with his fans on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The rapper tweeted, “Wrote AND directed my own music video for the first time. Excited for y’all to see. It’s the best one yet!”

Lil Nas X is no stranger to dropping hints about new music on social media, and this is exactly how his fans learned they’ll have to wait a little bit longer for his next album. Earlier this year, the rapper said he could easily drop new music if he wanted to, but added he has to build momentum and “go bigger than before” with his next project.

Lil Nas X’s debut studio album Montero hit the shelves in 2021 and scored him his second Grammy nomination for album of the year. It also produced chart-topping singles “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” and “Industry Baby” ft. Jack Harlow.
