Lil Nas X found himself a trending Twitter topic over the weekend when he unveiled his new “Satan Shoes.” The shoes will reportedly contain 66 CCs of red ink and one drop of human blood in its sole. Other features of the infernal footwear are a pentagram pendant over the laces and “Luke 10:18” written on the side, a Bible verse about Satan’s fall from heaven.
The announcement came shortly after his controversial video for “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” went viral due to its sexually explicit content and satanic theme. For retired NBA star Nick Young, it wasn’t the Grammy Award-winning rapper giving Satan a lap dance that pushed him over the edge — it was the devilish kicks.
On Sunday morning (March 28), Young revealed there’s now a Lil Nas X ban in the Young household and admitted he was thinking about boycotting Nike – even though the retail giant wasn’t involved in the creation of the shoe.
“My kids will never play Old Town road again,” he tweeted. “I’m still debating about wearing @Nike after this come nike a drop of blood for real.”
A few hours later, Lil Nas X replied to Young’s message with a healthy dose of sarcasm, writing, “they shouldn’t be playing old town road anyway, we streaming call me by your name now.”
Only 666 of the limited edition shoes will be produced and each pair will be individually numbered but come with a hefty price tag of $1,018. While the shoes are Nike’s classic Air Max ’97s, Nike has made it clear they had nothing to do with the creation or sale of the shoes.
In fact, Nike told Snopes in an email: “Nike did not release nor design these shoes.” Instead, the Air Max ’97 shoes were bought independently. In this case, Lil Nas X teamed up with the MSCHF clothing brand to come up with the unique take on the popular Nike shoe.

Young isn’t the only one offended by the collaboration. Pastor Mark Burns, who has appeared as a commentator on CNN and Fox News, tweeted, “This is evil and heresy and I pray that Christians rise up against this,” while Grammy Award-winning Christian singer Kaya Jones tweeted, “I told y’all what was up a long time ago! You are ready for what we are facing. Better start reading your Bible!”
In response to the criticism, the openly gay artist vowed not to bow down to the pressures of making “kid-friendly” videos like “Old Town Road.”
“i made the decision to create the music video,” he wrote in part. “i am an adult. i am not gonna spend my entire career trying to cater to your children. that is your job.”
Lil Nas X’s “Montero” video arrived on Friday (March 25) and has since amassed over 24 million YouTube views.

This kid is a puppet for evil and he don’t even know it
He knows exactly what he’s doing. The devil already got his soul in the bag.
cancel this clown he’s pushing gay and devil bullshit that shit is mad corny
the only nas we appreciate is Nasir jones
We fight not against the flesh but spiritual wickedness — Ban Lil Nas
It’s 2021 and people actually still worry about silly folk tales like the devil and evil spirits?
Exactly, it’s not like he’s paying tithes to Church anyways lol, so their not losing any money and the audience he’s geared toward already hate them anyways they’re not losing any true supporters really their only losing potential future molestation victims.
Yeah it’s no longer heaven vs hell, it’s democrips vs rebloodicans, fam…get with the time.
So now y’all want to cancel him but y’all still allowed catholic priest and Penn/Ohio State Coaches molest children. Y’all can’t pick and choose. I’m not a fan of the gay agenda either but at least he’s an adult going after grown men. Hell, y’all didn’t cancel RuPaul after all these years so unless he’s breaking any laws, let him express himself cuz if if we don’t we’d be hypocrites for denying him the right to do so. (Especially with PC and Cancel Culture Vultures around)
Nobody is mad that he’s gay. The guy came out 3 years ago. He is pushing the boundaries of decency and they’re pushing back
Who allowed “y’all still allowed catholic priest and Penn/Ohio State Coaches molest children”? Who ? You should look deeper into every race around the world. That shit doesn’t happen just in the United States; moron. People are God Damn DUMB!
If you buy shrimp from another country YOU FUCKING SUPPORT SLAVERY! YES TO THIS DAY! Ignorant FUCKS! Go eat your dick cereals why the people make billions off you dumb fucks buying 3 dollar made shoes! Fuck man Michael Jordan made more money a year than the fucking country that makes his fucking shoes THAT NIKE MAKES!
Yes it does. The fact that you’re getting emotional about it suggests that you’re either a priest, republican, a Penn State Coach, or a Ohio State Coach. You know nothing about history or current events at all. We just recently had an Olympic Gymnastics Coach, John Gedder kill himself cuz he was involved with the mistreatment and sexual misconduct/assault of female gymnasts along with United States Olympics gymnast disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar. You’re just looking for any reason to be upset about something, so you can just rant and complain in all CAPS because you’re an ignorant, uneducated, confrontational isolationist. It’s never about the argument, you just need to feel important and feel the need to provoke progressives.
I don’t listen to the guy but jesus, haha, he knows how to get people riled up. People will eat this up for years, likely connect it to illuminati theories, when the guy probs came up with the idea while eating applejacks.
The irony is this dude got rich off of bible belt thumping white people playing his song like crazy. Before they knew he was a gay satanist lmao
This is what happens when butt pirates are allowed to become rappers
My question is why a company like Nike would give a guy that had 1 hit that wasn’t even in this decade his own shoe, let alone a controversial one like this but would immediately pull a different endorsement if they said anything the internet even perceived as mildly racist or anti (insert cause). Nike must want to pander hard to the gay community
Maybe don’t be such a fucking dumbass and learn to read?
“Nike did not release nor design these shoes.”
No need to be so testy. If you think I was going to read this long of an article on Lil Nas X than you don’t know me. Ill always leap before I look in a situation like this.
Do you really think your statement is legit? “Nike did not release nor design these shoes.”
Nike would be pushing a lawsuit so fast it would raise ADIDAS and REEBOK’s stock!
People will boycott Nike for a music video but are okay with the 1800’s level working conditions some of their workers endure. People wanna go at Nas X for religious reasons but ignore their religious leaders protecting actual murderers, child molesters, ect. Ya’ll go head lol.
Its not because of the video. Its the use of human blood in the shoes.
People worried about the stupid devil shit when the worrying part really is the human blood factor. They probably used slaves in China for that shit.
Ugh blood? It should have been a real drop of you know what 😉 ohhh yeah
No surprise Nas X giving you religious zealiots the bird when all you do is hate on people like him. What goes around.
Also lol @ actually being so stupid you believe in a magical sky wizard for real
Read an old book/sing songs vs shagging goats. You lost son!
Stupid.
Got to pull a gimmick when your music sucks!!!!!
I see a lil nas Eminem Collab coming soon… especially since he’s back on meth
Where can one acquire such a devilish and delicious set of these foot garments?
I wonder how many people who are against this kid have actually read a page of the bible lmao
Bible is bullshit like all religions. Doesn’t mean if you’re against his nonsense that you’re some overtly religious shit kicker.
Battle of titans.
They let this shit get their far. They don’t realize that once they placate this nonsense they’re gonna see how far they can go. First they act like this James Charles guy is a woman then they get mad at him for posting a picture of himself pregnant. Now they wanna be upset at this clown for being the clown that he is. I mean damn! My 8-year-old daughter was playing Roblox over the weekend and the top selling items were “Pride” and “Bi Pride” flags in a game for children. GTFOHWTBS!
Also, these articles need to quit referring to this guy as “Nas”. He’s not Nas. Not even remotely!
Nas did a collab with Lil Nas X and gave him his blessings to use the name smh
