Getting People to run your album "pregnancy" pics?? Iconic.
In an interview with People, Lil Nas X explained that the inspo for the shoot came from listening to Megan Thee Stallion's verse on his new song "Dolla Sign Slime." He explained, "I was like, 'Oh my God, this is amazing,' so I immediately called my stylist."
The song is currently unreleased, so stay tuned.
"She was like, 'Wow, this all comes together. Your album. Your baby.' I was like, 'Yeah, this is my baby, huh?' As a joke, she was like, 'Yeah, you should do a pregnancy shoot.'"

As it turns out, that was just a pleasant surprise. "I was like, 'There's no way the universe is lining up this perfect for this to happen,'" he told People.
