Lil Nas X has you working at no cost to him

Alright, let’s unpack this situation with #LilNasX in today’s edition of Rick Party’s Notebook. Lil Nas X, known for his bold artistic statements, is at it again, this time depicting #JesusChrist in his music video.

This follows his trend of provocative visuals, including his infamous descent to the underworld. It’s sparking a lot of heated conversations, but here’s my perspective: Why are we getting worked up over Lil Nas X’s artistic expression? The man is an artist, and part of being an artist is pushing those societal boundaries, challenging our norms.

Let’s be real for a minute. Whether you’re rooted in Christian, Muslim, Catholic, or any other belief system, getting overly agitated about Lil Nas X’s visuals feels misplaced. If his art doesn’t resonate with you, that’s fine – change the channel, skip the track. I see people genuinely losing their cool over this, and it just doesn’t add up to me. It’s like we’re missing the bigger picture here.

Bottom line: What Lil Nas X, or any creative for that matter, chooses to do in their artistic realm is their prerogative. Their creative decisions are a conversation between them, their label, and their spiritual beliefs, whether that’s with God, Allah, or any other higher power. It’s not our place to get caught up in that.

If a person agitates you, stop allowing them to live rent free in your head.
