It’s his second major music video, following the star-studded official video for “Old Town Road”. The video takes place in the neon-lit, cyberpunk, Blade Runner-esque world that appears on the cover of Lil Nas X’s 7 EP. Like in Blade Runner, there are a bunch of adverts in this world for IRL companies – let’s hope they don’t get hit by the Blade Runner curse, eh? Later in the video, Lil Nas X dances alongside some robots that feel very Chappie. All in all, the sci-fi aesthetic is a big departure, visually, from the cowboy imagery of “Old Town Road”. The video was directed by Mike Diva. Revisit Dazed’s cover story with Lil Nas X, and watch the “Panini” video below.
