Not everyone was thrilled, several people commented negatively on the picture.

“What a shame, my daughter loved the Wiggles. I don’t see how someone who dances the devil in their music videos is a good candidate to work in the children’s music industry,” one person wrote.

“I’m sorry, but Lil Nas shouldn’t have anything to do with children. Period,” complained another.

Lil Nas X, real name Montero Lamar Hill, has caused controversy throughout his chart-topping career. The 23-year-old famously rides a stripper pole to hell and gives Satan a lap dance in the clip to his Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit Montero (Call Me By Your Name) (pictured).

He later said of the video: “You see, this is very scary for me, people are going to be angry, they’re going to say I’m pushing an agenda. But the truth is, it’s me. The agenda to get people to stay out of other people’s lives and stop dictating who they should be.
