Lil Nas X’s Fake Acceptance Letter
In a surprising turn of events on Jan. 10, a representative from Liberty University told TMZ Hip-Hop that Lil Nas X’s acceptance letter was fake and that the university had never heard of him.
“We can confirm that Liberty University did not issue the Montero Hill ‘acceptance letter’ posted yesterday to social media, and we have no record of Montero Hill applying to the University,” the statement read. “Liberty University exists to glorify God by equipping men and women in higher education in fidelity to the Christian faith expressed through the Holy Scriptures.” “We continue to pray for America and for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be proclaimed across this land. We welcome all to apply and join us at Liberty University.”
Lil Nas X’s alleged fake acceptance letter was initially shared by the artist himself on Jan. 9. He claimed he would pursue studies in Christian Leadership and Biblical studies at Liberty University. However, it soon became evident that this was all a publicity stunt for his upcoming single, “J Christ,” scheduled for release on Jan. 12.

Another user, @justvanillaling, voiced their frustration, stating, “I wish Lil Nas X would put as much effort into his music as he does into lying.”
