“i want to say thank u to twigs for calling me and informing me about the similarities between the two videos, as i was not aware they were so close,” Lil Nas X wrote in a post of his own. “was only excited for the video to come out. i understand how hard you worked to bring this visual to life. you deserve so much more love and praise.”
The two visuals both feature similar pole dancing choreography.
