Lil Nas X has been teasing the hell out of his fans during the lead-up to his upcoming single release. Posting plenty of videos with a snippet of the song playing, it took nearly a full year for the diamond-certified hitmaker to reveal the release date for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)". The song will finally be out before the end of this month, and it's already receiving a lot of praise.

Despite the song not being out yet, it's already attracted the attention of some huge names in the music business, including Rihanna. Posting a video from their recent Zoom call, Lil Nas X showed off his fresh co-sign from the Fenty superstar.

"By the way, I heard a clip of your new song the other day," said Rihanna on the call before Lil Nas X anxiously awaited the rest of the sentence. "Banging! Honest to God, I'm not just saying that. It is dope!"
