Lil Nas X has officially announced he’s releasing a follow-up track to his recently released controversial single, J. Christ, this week. LNX took to his Instagram story on January 23 to post a behind-the-scenes shot from his music video for J Christ, captioning it with:
“We made it to billboard! I don’t want yall to think I take this for granted! I appreciate you and adore you. New song next week!”A day later, the rapper announced the upcoming song will be titled Where Do We Go Now and will hit streaming platforms on January 26, one day before his highly anticipated documentary Long Live Montero releases on HBO MAX.

LNX’s post blew up with fans and critics slamming the rapper for his alleged humorous take on Christian ideologies, even after the rapper had posted an apology video addressing this situation on his social media last week.

Lil Nas X suffered major backlash over the past few weeks stemming from his initial announcement on January 8, 2024, leading up to the release of J Christon January 12.

Fans and critics were quick to address the rapper’s portrayal of himself as Jesus as insensitive to Christians. The accompanying music video he released for the song only added to the stream of public backlash he was facing for the song.

A week after the release, LNX took to social media to address this backlash and try to clarify his stance on the topic. On January 15, he posted a video to his social media where he addressed the backlash by stating that it was never his intention to hurt or harm anybody’s religious beliefs.

He clarified that the music video and song were simply artistic expressions. He added that his official return to music was symbolic of the way Jesus rose from the dead, and that is why he chose to incorporate Christian imagery in his music.
