Lil Nas X pays homage to 'Saw,' 'The Matrix,' and Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' in his surreal new music video
Lil Nas X released his surreal new music video for "Rodeo" on Thursday.
The video begins with a reference to the horror movie "Saw," when Lil Nas X picks up a phone and hears a voice say, "I wanna play a game."

"I felt like there have definitely been some words around me having Nas' name within my own," Lil Nas X previously told Insider. "So, I felt like this would squash that down and also be a nice song, which it is."
