Lil Nas dropped the Industry Baby music video today, featuring Jack Harlow and it is already a hit. Fans are going crazy over the video which focuses on Nas' infamous "Satan Shoes" and those who judge him for his sexual performances.
Cameos included in the music video are Teen Wolf's, Colton Haynes, and an Aquaman lookalike that has since been confirmed is not the beloved, Jason Momoa.
A teaser video for the new music video -- which was released earlier this week -- features a trial in which Lil Nas X faces a jury of his peers -- including himself. The artist juggles multiple roles, including playing himself, the judge, the lawyers, and the sole juror who speaks a line. The spoof follows Lil Nas X's comments about appearing in court over his trademark infringement case with Nike. Lil Nas X plays the prosecuting attorney, who states that the trial isn't so much about the shoes, but rather Lil Nas X's sexuality. After the musician acknowledges that he's gay, the judge sentences him to five years in "Montero State Prison."
Most of the video showcases Lil Nas after his courtroom appearance and how he embraces his sexual identity. There is a sequence of nude shower dances and a prison riot that ends in a jailbreak.
Here is the Industry Baby music video! Lil Nas' warning is correct...this is not for kids!
Industry Baby Behind The Scenes
Industry Baby also dropped the same day Kanye West's new album, Donda dropped. Coincidence or not?
Fans believe this song will blow West's whole album out of the water.
More importantly, @LilNasX has organized the ‘Bail X Fund’ with The Bail Project in honor of the release of his new single with @JackHarlow, “INDUSTRY BABY.” 100% of donations will go toward cash bail funds for incarcerated Black Americans."

You can most likely find Industry Baby on Lil Nas X's debut album, Montero.
