Lil Nas X, who became a hit a couple years ago with his song Old Town Road, has just come out with what he calls ‘Satan Shoes’ and they are horrific:

Of all the things about these shoes, this is the worst in my opinion:
Notice the photo on the box the shoes come in? Horrible. I have no words for how disgusting this is to me. And he drops these shoes on Holy Week, the week before Easter where we remember Christ’s passion and death for us.
This disgust you feel is absolutely intentional by the gay rapper:
i spent my entire teenage years hating myself because of the shit y’all preached would happen to me because i was gay. so i hope u are mad, stay mad, feel the same anger you teach us to have towards ourselves.

According to CNN, his shoes went on sale today and all 666 of them sold out in less than a minute.
And just to be clear, even though they bear the Nike logo, Nike had nothing to do with these shoes whatsoever. The shoes were purchased by a separate company and customized.
All I can say is pray for for Lil Nas X. He may be lashing out by spitting in the face of God right now, but he is still not beyond the mercy and love of God, Who very much desires to save him as he does the rest of us.
