The 22-year-old &#8220;Old Town Road&#8221; singer landed a major celebrity milestone last night on <em>Saturday Night Live \u2014 <\/em>the infamous wardrobe malfunction.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night, Lil Nas X took the <em>SNL<\/em> stage to perform for the NBC comedy sketch show&#8217;s season finale. He commanded the stage in a flame-adorned leather two-piece outfit, debuting his performance with his hit song &#8220;Montero (Call Me By Your Name).&#8221; As seen in the music video for the song, Lil Nas X featured pole-dancing in his performance, but as he squatted down to perform, the seam in his pants split with ease down the middle.<\/p>\n<p>He gave the audience a deer-in-headlights look, but swiftly transitioned into performing the rest of his track, being discreet as to hide the gleaming wardrobe malfunction. The singer later <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LilNasX\/status\/1396319648933683205?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">took to Twitter<\/a> to write \u201cnot my pants ripped on live tv. I wanted to do my pole routine so bad this (is) what I get lmaoo.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NOT MY PANTS RIPPED ON LIVE ON TV<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; nope \ud83c\udff9 (@LilNasX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LilNasX\/status\/1396318976209264641?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">May 23, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>For his second song of the night, Nas X performed his newest song &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/34eF4BoV8FPk0uhAAoqU7h?si=0284544317a04673\" target=\"_blank\">Sun Goes Down<\/a>,&#8221; and that performance went off without any unexpected revelations. The singer wore a white suit completed with hefty silver rings, a testament to his love of pageantry and style.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Nas X has run into heat with fashion however. In March, when he released his song &#8220;Montero (Call Me By Your Name),&#8221; he also produced 666 pairs of what were coined \u2018satan shoes\u2019 that were stylized Nike Air Max 97s complimentary with a single drop of human blood. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/fashion\/2021\/mar\/29\/nike-denies-involvement-lil-nas-x-satan-shoes-social-media-uproar\" target=\"_blank\">Nike launched a lawsuit<\/a> against the production of the shoes on the basis that it &#8220;infringed on and diluted its trademark.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CPOJYTrjdFn\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
