In a surprising twist, rapper Lil Nas X announces his acceptance into bible school. Is he really going back to school?
Tuesday, January 9, Lil Nas X, the 24-year-old rapper famed for his hit "Call Me By Your Name," set the internet abuzz with his announcement of being accepted into bible school, a move that coincides with his teasing of new, Christian-themed music.
Lil Nas X took to Instagram to share his purported acceptance into a bible study program. He conveyed to his audience, "I know some of y'all hate me right now but I want y'all to know I'm literally about to go to college for biblical studies in the fall. Not everything is a troll! Anyways, I'M A STUDENT AGAIN! LET'S GOOO."
This announcement was accompanied by what he claims to be an offer letter from Liberty University, addressed to Montero Hill (the rapper's birth name), congratulating him on his acceptance for the Fall 2024 semester with a Dual Concentration in Christian Leadership and Biblical Studies.
However, the authenticity of this letter is under scrutiny, mainly because it is signed by Jerry Falwell, the late president of Liberty University who died in 2007. This incongruity has led many to speculate that Lil Nas X's announcement might be another of his well-known pranks, especially as it aligns with his promotion of a new "Christian era" in his music career.
Social media reactions have been a mixture of humor, skepticism, and confusion. Some fans humorously commented on the impossibility of Falwell signing the letter, while others are left unsure about the seriousness of Lil Nas X's claim. Despite the uncertainties, there is evident excitement for his upcoming music.
