Lil Nas X Bounces Back

“swipe for good news … MONTERO IS OFFICIALLY NUMBER 1 IN THE UK! THANK YOU GUYS SO F*CKING MUCH!”
Nike Gets Restraining Order Against Satan Shoes
This week, reports emerged about Nike filing a restraining order against MSCHF, the art collective that collaborated with Lil Nas X to make his recent devil-inspired shoes. They’ve blocked all sales of the limited-edition sneakers, which have drawn a whole lot of backlash. However, MSCHF announced they shipped out most pairs already.
“Nike filed a trademark infringement and dilution complaint against MSCHF today related to the Satan Shoes,” Nike told CBS News in a statement Thursday. “We don’t have any further details to share on pending legal matters. However, we can tell you we do not have a relationship with Lil Nas X or MSCHF. The Satan Shoes were produced without Nike’s approval or authorization, and Nike is in no way connected with this project.”
The court order states that the Brooklyn-based agency cannot fulfill any orders. During a court hearing Thursday morning, MSCHF’s lawyer said that the majority of the shoes, over 600 pairs, have already been shipped to individual consumers, arguing that this rendered Nike’s claims irrelevant. (CBS)

Lil Nas X Being Cancelled Over ‘Montero’ Video?
We asked the SOHH Fam in our YouTube Community for their thoughts on Lil Nas X’s new video for “Montero” and the so-called “Satan shoes” he’s put on sale as part of the promotion. Fans were split; some appreciate the creativity from the “Old Town Road” hitmaker, while others can’t get past what they see as blasphemy and hints of devil worship.
“He will be the next cancelled superstar. Doesn’t he know it’s the year of being politically correct? People need to lighten up…”
