Lil Nas X is gearing up to make his return in 2024, and kicked off the year with another nod to his forthcoming era on Instagram on Tuesday (Jan. 2).
The rapper’s latest post featured him holding a large black machine gun while dressed in an opulent white gown. The second slide in the Instagram post featured a cloudy and rainy landscape with large green hills. Lil Nas’ logo then forms from the raindrops and glows a shade of gold and holographic hue.
“I know it’s been 2 years but….yall ready for a show?” he captioned the post. Fans in the comments section of the post were more than ready for a new material from the rapper, with one writing that they will be “kicking crying and screaming till it drops.” Another excited fan shared, “Damn I can’t comprehend that Montero been out for 2 years, and Nas for like 5 years,” while another added that the announcement is the “best news of 2024 already.”
The 23-year-old’s latest era teaser comes after he released a snippet of a new song back in November. In the tweet he asked fans, “Y’all mind if i enter my christian era ?” and gave fans a clip of the material to come: “Father stretch my hands/ The lonely road seems to last the longest,” he crooned. “Help me with my plans/ Everything seems to go nowhere,” he crooned in the snippet.
Lil Nas X’s next album will serve as his sophomore release as well as the follow up to Montero, which both peaked and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2021.
