“I can act unbothered all I want, but it’s definitely taken a mental toll on me,” Lil Nas X said. “I’m not some evil demon guy trying to destroy everybody’s values and stuff like that. That’s not me.”

He added, “When I did the artwork, I knew there would be some upset people simply because religion is a very sensitive topic for a lot of people. But I also didn’t mean to mock — this wasn’t a fuck you to the Christians. It was literally me saying I’m back like Jesus.”
