Lil Nas X is — it's been well established — a marketing savant and a true Gen Z celebrity, mostly because he grew up in stan culture and simply understands his fans.
Now, as he defends his cultural icon status this spooky season (not that there was any competition, tbh), he's donned a costume that many of his fans are sure to recognize.
It is — I'm not kidding — the basketball guy (aka Seth Powers aka actor Alex Black) from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.
Understanding the assignment? No, Lil Nas X created the assignment.
Reader, when I tell you I gasped.
From the surfer-dude wig to the prop basketball, he absolutely killed the look. And check out the replacement of "Ned" to "Nas" in the journal guide title.
I mean, he truly devoured this costume.
I need a TikTok re-creation of this scene.
Now we just need a Coconut Head and the main trio of Ned, Cookie, and Moze. Laters!
