Rapper Lil Nas X will be the subject of his own documentary coming Jan. 27 to HBO and streaming service Max.
Called “Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero,” the documentary will feature cameras following him as he preps for his first headlining U.S. tour in 2022 and 2023. It will cover 60 days of his tour in verite style.
His career broke open in 2019 with his massive crossover hit “Old Town Road,” which is the longest running No. 1 song in Billboard Hot 100 history at 19 weeks. He has had a string of other hits since then including “Panini,” “Montero,” “Industry Baby” and “Thats What I Want.”
Mirroring the elaborate stage show, the film is divided into three acts (rebirth, transformation and becoming) and shows Lil Nas X (real name: Montero Hill) grappling with sudden fame.
