Lil Nas X spent the weekend taking down his critics after his video for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" caused a stir in conservative circles. 

As one would expect, Fox News, Republican talking heads and outright homophobes have had a full-blown hissy fit over the widely seen video, which sees the pop star reenacting biblical scenes and twerking on the devil. 

Despite the heartfelt note he posted to Twitter about the video ahead of its release, people have railed against it. 

Lil Nas X is never one to shy from a fight and made sure everyone knew that, sending out a flurry of tweets this weekend addressing those who have a problem with his art. 

"There was no system involved. I made the decision to create the music video. I am an adult. I am not gonna spend my entire career trying to cater to your children. That is your job," he wrote to those referencing how his first hit, "Old Town Road" was beloved by kids.

He later began releasing satirical responses to the outrage, noting how ridiculous it is for people to expect him to cater his art around their offspring. 

"Showed my 3 month old niece the call me by your name video and she said “uncle that was quite the stupendous visual, why in heavens would any individual be enraged over such a sensational showpiece” i’m gonna go cry yall," he joked.

He sent out dozens of hilarious tweets tackling the controversy head on. 

He then called out the Republican lawmakers speaking about his video instead of addressing the country's alarming spate of mass shootings in recent months. 

In another deleted tweet, he wrote, "Since everybody watching this music video and saying “what about the kids” it would be a great time to talk about the ones still being kept in cages."

i spent my entire teenage years hating myself because of the shit y’all preached would happen to me because i was gay. so i hope u are mad, stay mad, feel the same anger you teach us to have towards ourselves.

In a lengthy letter he sent out last week about the song and the video, he spoke to his younger self about the problems he faced as a gay Black man, as Blavity previously reported. 

"I wrote a song with our name in it. It's about a guy I met last summer. I know we promised to never be 'that' type of gay person, I know we promised to die with the secret, but this will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist," he said.

"You see this is very scary for me, people will be angry they will say I'm pushing an agenda. but the truth is, I am. The agenda to make people stay the f**k out of other people's lives and stop dictating who they should be. Sending you love from the future," he added. 

The chart-topping artist will be releasing a new album called Montero at some point this summer.
