  • Nas X joked about "going to jail" after dropping the teaser
  • The music video also took a dig at the Satan Shoes' lawsuit

Lil Nas X announced his new music video, "Industry Baby" on Twitter and shared a 2-minute-long teaser. In the video, the 22-year-old singer portrayed all the main characters in a trail room setting and made fun of the entire Satan Shoes controversy and critics commenting on his sexuality.

The video begins with him portraying a judge, who is FaceTiming his girlfriend before the trial starts and informs her, "I'm bored. I'll call you back. I'm doing this little court case with Nike and this little gay n—."

In the next scene, Nas X, the defendant tells the court, "My client Lil Nash, what's your name again? My client Lil Nasty had nothing to do with this," while the jury passes the Satan Shoe to each other with a disgusting look.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is much more than shoes," Nas X, the prosecutor says. "Mr. Nas X, are you gay?" Lil Nas X, the defendant replies, "What does this have to do with the shoes?" "I'll rephrase the question. Do yo momma know you gay?" asks the prosecutor.

After the singer admits saying "yes," the judge sentences him to "five years in Montero State Prison" and the title appears, "Industry Baby," flashing co-producers' names -- Kanye West and Take a Daytrip.

"Industry Baby" will reflect on the recent performance of the singer at the BET Awards in June, where he kissed a male dancer on stage.

The music video also took a dig at the Satan Shoes' lawsuit, which was settled out of court in April.

The singer titled the video on YouTube, "Nike v. Lil Nas X – Satan Shoes Trial."

He took to Twitter on the same day and wrote, "All jokes aside I can’t believe I might be going to jail. who’s going to make mildly funny tweets about being gay while I’m away."

A fan asked in the comments, "What are you going to jail for" and another fan explained, "Quick recap of the past four months for LNX: >He made Montero, a music video that prominently features satanic imagery (namely, pole dancing into hell and giving Satan a lap dance) >Announced a series of "Satan Shoes" to accompany it, made by Nike and customized by MSCHF."

The singer last dropped his music video, "Sun Goes Down" on May 21.
