Over the weekend rapper Lil Nas X's documentary "Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Unfortunately the event was delayed by a bomb threat...
From Variety
The world premiere of Lil Nas X’s documentary “Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero” at the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday night was delayed after a bomb threat was called in targeting the artist.
The gala screening was scheduled for a 10 p.m. start at Roy Thomson Hall, one of TIFF’s premier venues. The documentary’s co-directors Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel and editor Andrew Morrow arrived on the red carpet first, posing with fans that lined the entryway. But as their subject, pop superstar Lil Nas X, pulled up in his car to join them, organizers were informed that a bomb threat had been called in and the artist was told to hold, sources told Variety. The threat specifically targeted the rapper for being a Black queer artist, one source added.
Nas’ arrival was delayed 20 minutes while TIFF security conducted a sweep of the venue. After the threat was proved not credible, he joined Estrada and Manuel on the red carpet and the screening began at approximately 10:30pm.

I hope that the authorities catch whomever made the threat. Incidents of this sort cost precious time and lots of money.
So much manufactured drama with this one. I wouldn't be surprised if he had one of his friends call in the bomb threat to bring attention to his movie.
I love me some Lil Nas X and loved the Montero video, I really dig the symbolism in the video. We all have our haters, it comes with the territory. I am not here for those ugly clogs he has on his feet, and hopefully they find the fool doing bomb threats.
Wrong shade of lipstick. They’re a hero for giving trans kids a role model.
He is so over the top.
What's so special about him? There's people out here saving lives and making the world a better place to live yet this attention-wh0ring, gender bending one-hit wonder warrants a documentary?
@5:57 Well apparently he 'warrants' enough attention from you to stop and comment on him, doesn't he?
I'll say it again. SHUT YOU AZZ UP!!!! If it wasn't posted I wouldn't give it any attention.
