<p>Lil Nas X&#8217;s marketing team has been working overtime on the promotion of his debut album &#8220;Montero.&#8221; From <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CT4bKpQl24V/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">sarcastic billboards</a> to a prosthetic, pregnant belly, they&#8217;ve found ways to keep the project at the center of viral conversation. The album was finally delivered (pun intended) on Friday and Lil Nas X gave a different take on how &#8220;Montero&#8221; healed him.</p>
<p>&#8220;I love joking but on a serious note making this album was therapy for me,&#8221; Lil Nas X tweeted on Saturday.</p>
<p>And by joking, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/lil-nas-x-responds-to-critics-saying-he-isnt-a-good-role-model-for-children/">Lil Nas X</a> sort of means trolling. In addition to what&#8217;s previously mentioned, he shared fake congratulatory messages from prominent figures. One of those fake messages actually named Obama as the sender of a baby shower basket of goodies. And no, it wasn&#8217;t real.</p>
<p>However, the promotion party didn&#8217;t end there. The day the album dropped <a href="https://twitter.com/lizzo/status/1438895218598690816?s=20">Lizzo admitted</a> she&#8217;s not a fan of Lil Nas X, but that his newest project has her &#8220;Literally pissing, sh*tting and cumming.&#8221; Turns out, that was just Lil Nas X trolling again using a link that populates the same tweet when clicked.</p>

<p>Some unexpected players also joined the &#8220;Montero&#8221; promo game. Children&#8217;s television characters Teletubbies poked fun by asking if they could &#8220;get a feature on the next album.&#8221; Lil Nas X, matching the humorous energy, replied by giving everyone their role on the fictional collaboration.</p>
<p>&#8220;Alright bet,&#8221; Lil Nas X tweeted. &#8220;Me and Tinky Winky on the hook, dipsy &; Po on the verses and we&#8217;ll let laa laa do the outro.&#8221;</p>
<p>Still, despite stirring controversy in the name of artistry and sales, Lil Nas X says &#8220;Montero&#8221; hit him with therapy benefits.</p>
<p>&#8220;I began healing many unchecked wounds, facing skeletons in my closet I never wanted to, fighting internally every day and crying persistently, &#8220;Montero&#8221; is truly my baby. Thanks for the love.&#8221;</p>
