Lil Nas X has trolled Drake over the Certified Lover Boy cover art in the most hilarious way.
The controversial rapper and provocateur posted a photo featuring a series of pregnant men, with the caption “MONTERO: THE ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 17, 2021.” Although Montero will be dropping on that date — and Lil Nas X shared a link to pre-save it — it’s unclear if this will be the cover art (probably not, but it’d be great if it were).
Check it out below.

What High Snobiety has confirmed, however, is that Drake will be partnering with Nike to drop official merch tied to the album. The merch includes T-shirts with quotes from the album, including I don’t miss… Let alone miss you,” and, “Something other than me has got to give.” He’s currently handing out shirts all over his hometown of Toronto.
