The game relates to his latest single, ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ as players can control Lil Nas X with their mouse and make him hit the moving arrows. The movements then make him twerk to his hit song. Once players reach a certain number of “temptations,” they are able to move on to the next level. Each level includes a scene from his controversial music video.

“Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” has recently topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and is officially his second number one song after “Old Town Road.”

Lil Nas X is used to being the topic of conversation after the release of his music video and the sneaker collaboration with MSCHF. The shoes were designed with a drop of human blood and drew attention from many, including Nike. Nike filed a lawsuit against MSCHF for making the shoes without their authorization. The court hearing determined that the shoes negatively affected Nike, as the hashtag #cancelnike was trending for some time. All further sales and shipment of the sold out shoes is halted.

The controversy does not seem to affect Lil Nas X much though as he tweeted his response to recent hate and backlash he has received.

i hope my haters are sad. i hope they are crying. i want your tears to fill my grammy cup.
