Lil Nas X has teamed up with NBA YoungBoy for the new song ‘Late to da Party’, which arrives with a Gibson Hazard-directed video. The track features the refrain “Fuck BET,” a reference to the network the rapper has been criticizing in recent weeks after receiving zero nominations at the 2022 BET Awards, which air this Sunday (June 26). Check it out below.
Prior to its release, Lil Nas X shared a trailer for ‘Late to da Party’ that contained a Star Wars-style title card. It read:
