Lil Nas X is no stranger to stirring up controversy, and the premiere of his new music video “J Christ” is no exception.

Impersonators of Barack Obama, Mariah Carey, Ed Sheeran, Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, and more all attended the rapper’s red carpet event Thursday ahead of its release on midnight.

The Obama impersonator hit the Griddy, a viral dance popularized by Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, for the cameras while “Carey” dripped in diamonds, including her signature butterfly rings, looking eerily similar to the “Fantasy” singer.

However, the gag became more apparent when the Sheeran impersonator hit the carpet.

Although the stand-in sported a blue and black flannel and orange scruff, his appearance better resembled a bad Halloween Halloween costume than the actual “Thinking Out Loud” crooner.

Meanwhile, the West impersonator was pretty convincing at first glance as the red carpet lookalike dressed in all black with a “Donda” bulletproof vest, similar to the kind the “Heartless” rapper sported in recent years. He accessorized the look with a replica of West’s diamond Jesus chain.

A doppelgänger of West’s longtime rival Swift then arrived at the event in a silver fringe dress and bob haircut, reminiscent of the “1989” era.

A Michael Jackson impersonator followed, mocking many of the King of Pop’s movements — all accept the iconic moonwalk.

Many fans feel Nas X did rapper Ice Spice dirty as her impersonator was a man wearing a bandeau top and jorts which framed his big ole beer belly. The only indicator that the impressionist was imitating the “Deli” rapper was a wig of her signature curly orange hair.

Before the night was over impersonators of Drake, Oprah Winfrey, Queen Elizabeth, and Dolly Parton also flooded the red carpet.

The Post has contacted a rep for Nas X for comment.

The impersonators will also seemingly appear in the music video for “J Christ” as they appeared in a teaser clip as well.

Fans on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, couldn’t help but sound off on the “Industry Baby” artist’s latest gimmick.

“Why did they do Ice Spice like that omg!??!?!” one tweeted.

“The Ice Spice one seems offensive idk?” another said.

Someone else said of the tactic, “Using their names for algorithm promo is crazy.”

Spectators also had differing opinions on whether recruiting the impersonators was “gorgeous and legendary” or “cringe.”

“They really nailed this,” one supporter cheered.

“Stop promoting this mess,” a hater rebutted.

“This is weird,” another stated.

“Why it looks AI generated,” someone else slammed the carpet.

“That do look like Kanye tho,” another admitted.

Nas X has also relied on religious imagery to promote the release of “J Christ,” depicting himself as Jesus on the cross for the single’s artwork and falsely claiming that he plans to attend the conservative Liberty University for Biblical studies.

He released his last album, “Montero” in September 2021.
