Lil Nas X made his Saturday Night Live debut and he had himself a bit of an embarrassing moment in front of a national audience.
During his performance of his controversial song Montero (Call Me By Your Name), the rapper accidentally ripped his pants near his crotch area while dancing on the stripper pole on stage.

Lil Nas X was forced to continue with his performance with his hand on his crotch to cover up the ripped pants.
I’m pretty sure Lil Nas X’s pants just split on SNL, because he never moved his hand for like the last 30 seconds.

Pretty sure @LilNasX ripped the crotch of his pants while dancing on the stripper pole during his performance of “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” on @nbcsnl. But props to him for keeping cool & not allowing his performance to become truly x-rated, if you get me.😳 #SNL #SNLFinale pic.twitter.com/gKIvv5Ggf8
