Animal Crossing: New Horizons Community Recreates Lil Nas X’s Controversial Montero Music Video

It won’t be an overstatement that the Animal Crossing: New Horizons community is one of the most innovative in the world. With every new update, players take on new challenges and modify their islands accordingly. This consistent interaction between the user-base is one of the biggest reasons behind the game’s success in 2020.

Animal Crossing offers a surprising amount of flexibility to its users for customizing their islands. Naturally, they make the best out of it by recreating real-life scenarios and opting themes like Disney, Goth, and many others.

The latest recreation to make this list is undoubtedly the most unexpected too. Lil Nas X recently released the music video for his hit song, Montero, which revolves around him chasing the devil. It contains several scary visuals and ended up making a lot of fans uncomfortable.

Surprisingly, some Animal Crossing players have recreated the music video for Montero in the game. It not only depicts Lil Nas X himself, but other characters from the video too.
