The “Old Town Road” and “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” hitmaker took to Twitter to announce plans for him and Harlow to perform the song completely nude at the MTV Video Music Awards, which is taking place September 12 at the Barclays Center. However, Memphis rapper BlocBoy JB isn’t down with it; so much, he doesn’t want his children to listen to rap music anymore.
“me and jack harlow have decided to perform industry baby butt naked at the vmas for charity,” Lil Nas X tweeted.
BlocBoy JB wrote in the comments of Akademiks’ repost, “My kids are can’t listen to rap nomoe.”
Following the release of “Industry Baby,” Jack Harlow admitted he would have appeared in the shower scene had Lil Nas X asked.

“Nas wrote the whole treatment for this video and I followed his lead every step of the way,” he wrote on Twitter. “If he had asked me to be in that shower scene I woulda been in that shower scene. I just let the mastermind cook. Honored to be apart of it.”
