Lil Nas X suffered a wardrobe malfunction during his appearance on Saturday Night Live over the weekend.
The star, real name Montero Lamar Hill, served as the musical guest on the sketch comedy show on Saturday evening, with actress Anya Taylor-Joy taking on the role of host.
However, the gig didn t go entirely smoothly for Nas X, as he accidentally split his leather trousers during the performance of his single MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name).
Taking to the stage for the sexually charged number, complete with shirtless dancers and racy choreography, the 22-year-old was partway through a pole dance sequence when he squatted down to the floor and the seam of his pants split. He flashed the audience a slightly embarrassed look but managed to continue with the show, and later returned to the stage for his performance of Sun Goes Down.

According to
Vogue, the polarizing artist performed his new song “Sun Goes Down” draped in an outfit from London-based Nigerian designer Mowalola Ogunlesi’s spring 2020 “Coming for Blood” collection. The song is Lil Nas X’s latest offering from his forthcoming
Montero album, set to be released this summer.
“Sun Goes Down” was the second performance for the controversial artist whose first act of the night didn’t go according to plan. As he gyrated across the stage with his chest completely exposed, the 22-year-old artist from Georgia sang his Billboard Hot 100 number one hit “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name).”
The rapper and his backup dancers wore tight leather trousers for the performance.
It wasn t until Nas performed a routine on a pole (around the 2:20 mark) that the front of his trousers ripped wide open.
He was forced to cover his crotch with his hand for the rest of the song.
He addressed his wardrobe malfunction on Twitter. i know i do a lot of planned sh t but ripping my pants on live television is not one of them, he insisted. i wanted to do my pole routine so bad this what i get lmaoo
His reaction = priceless.

Over the weekend, Lil Nas X rocked up to the
Saturday
Night Live studios in New York to deliver the last musical performance of the season.
He definitely delivered, although probably not in the way he necessarily expected. He gave a shit-hot performance of recent chart-buster ‘MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)’ everything was going swimmingly, Nas was backed by oiled-up backup dancers dressed slickly in arseless chaps, until he pulled some pole dancing moves…and promptly split his pants right up his crotch.
