Rapper Lil Nas X’s latest single, titled Montero (Call Me By Your Name), is no longer available on all streaming platforms.
This despite Montero being on top of the Billboard Global 200 spot, following the 2019 hit Old Town Road, at 19 weeks the longest running leader in the chart’s history.
In the video, using biblical tones, the musician is in conversation with a 14-year-old Montero about being gay.
The star’s fans vented on social media, with one tweeting: “Is anybody else having trouble playing #MONTERO on @Spotify? I tap on it and then it immediately stops. All other songs work.”

Lil Nas X replied: “It’s happening on all of the streaming services.”
Since his song is no longer working on many streaming services, he’d be “uploading the audio to pornhub”.
“Not even joking. Everybody stream ‘Call Me By Your Name’ hard today because it may no longer be available tomorrow, and there’s nothing I can really do about it. Thanks for all the support tho!”
The song was not available on Spotify or Apple Music, but is still available on YouTube and Billboard reportedly said the nommer isn’t being removed from streaming platforms.
