Nas X, 22, did not hold back in his performance of his hit record, which like its companion music video, was daring and homoerotic. The Grammy-winning star pulled out a stripper pole and leather-clad, shirtless male dancers as he performed a pared down version of his controversial video, which has garnered more than 200 million views on YouTube and plenty of opinions.
Despite the backlash he received for the “Montero” music video, particularly among Christians who were outraged by its overt sexuality and imagery of Nas X giving the devil a lap dance, he did not hold back on the shock value. The SNL performance included plenty of gyrating, and at one point, a dancer even licked Nas’s neck and cheek.
