“[L]ife has come full circle,” Lil Nas X wrote Monday on Twitter. “i officially work at taco bell again.”
The rapper and marketing savant, real name Montero Lamar Hill, is partnering with Taco Bell to promote his debut album “Montero.” As the company’s inaugural, honorary “chief impact officer,” his role will be merging philanthropy, music and food while working on “menu innovations” and more.
Launching Monday, Lil Nas X will make a cameo in Taco Bell’s breakfast campaign as the chain hopes to revive the most important meal of the day at 90 percent of restaurants nationwide. More “fan engagement opportunities” featuring the rapper will be announced later this fall.
The rapper and the restaurant company will be creating “an exclusive experience” around the upcoming album release and rewarding young creatives through the Taco Bell Foundation’s Live Mas Scholarship, according to a press release. While the album’s release date is still TBD, the musician has left a Marvel-inspired album trailer to keep fans at bay.
