The sensational artist, born Montero Lamar Hill, recently received a bomb threat at the premiere of his new documentary. The show, titled “Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero” debuted at the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday, September 9.

The incident took place at the Roy Thomson Hall and the venue was scheduled to hold a gala screening at 10pm But the documentary’s co-directors Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel, along with editor Andrew Morrow, had arrived on the red carpet before Lil Nas X.
The trio posed for pictures with fans without a problem until the “Old Town Road” singer arrived in his vehicle. Before he could join them, event attendees received word that a bomb threat targeting the 24-year-old had been called in.
Sources claim the entertainer was told to wait, delaying her red carpet appearance. According to an informant, the Georgian was threatened because he was a “black queer artist.” For 20 minutes, the media personality was unable to leave his vehicle as TIFF security searched the alleged bomb site.
Once they clarified that the threat was a hoax, the “Industry Baby” hitmaker was allowed to join her colleagues on the red carpet. Due to the delay, the screening reportedly started at 10:30pm Speaking about the play, a TIFF spokesperson revealed that the authorities had informed them about the bomb.
“Earlier this evening, we were notified by the Toronto Police Service of an investigation surrounding the red carpet for the screening of ‘Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero’,” explained the rep. However, the spokesperson denied sources’ claims about the Grammy winner as the intended target.
“Our standard security measures remain in place at this time, and inspections are being initiated with little delay. To our knowledge, this is a general threat and not directed at the film or the artist,” the individual claimed. A representative for the Toronto Police Service echoed similar sentiments about the attack.

“Yesterday, at TIFF, a pedestrian expressed a threat to private security. Out of an abundance of caution, Toronto Police and private security swept the scene and cleared within 20 minutes. The threat is general and does not target any individual,” the spokesperson announced.

The bomb threat against the “THE ART OF REALIZATION” artist came weeks after the premiere of his documentary was announced in August. “Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero” was reportedly filmed over 60 days with rare access to the creation and performance of the Georgian’s first global tour.
The official synopsis states that the documentary is “a deeply intimate portrait of an artist on a journey navigating identity, family, expectations and acceptance.” Additionally, the film promises to reflect “the performer’s place in Black heritage, the queer performer.”

The “SCOOP” hitmaker’s documentary comes months after he and fellow DJ Zedd were sued for vandalizing a Hollywood Hills mansion. The couple reportedly threw a party and trashed the luxury property they rented in 2022.
The homeowner, Daniel Fitzgerald, is seeking $1 million in damages, claiming the two violated the non-party rule. In addition, they allegedly caused more than $25,000 in property damage and cost him $40,000 in income because he could not rent the house during the repairs.
