I mean I consider Cellophane extremely aesthetic and conceptual. I see it as finding healing and embracing failure and heartbreak. 

Montero is also art but in a very campy and unapologetic way, turning the "sinners" go to hell narrative on its head. 

They may have similar imagery but the message and storyline are very different.

Lil Nas haters right now:

No hate in the thread please, most of the FKA twigs fans including myself were just trying to show her and her team support. Our intent wasn’t to hate Lil Nas X, but to point out that there was a clear inspiration and that it should be acknowledged. Glad they worked it out.

The word "hate" gets thrown around so flippantly these days.

Lil Nas X has admitted that his video has similarities to cellophane and thanked FKA Twigs and Andrew Thomas Huang for pointing it out for him, as he wasn't aware of how similar they were. 

Here's his full caption: 

i want to show love to @fkatwigs & @andrewthomashuang ! the “cellophane” visual is a masterpiece. i was not aware that the visual would serve as inspiration for those who worked on the effects of my video. i want to say thank u to twigs for calling me and informing me about the similarities between the two videos, as i was not aware they were so close. was only excited for the video to come out. i understand how hard you worked to bring this visual to life. you deserve so much more love and praise. 🏹🤍

In return, FKA Twigs posted the following:

thank you @lilnasx for our gentle honest conversations and for acknowledging the inspiration cellophane gave you and your creative team in creating your iconic video!
i think what you have done is amazing and i fully support your expression and bravery in pushing culture forward for the queer community. legend status.
i want to thank @andrewthomashuang and @kelyvon for helping me create cellophane but also and most importantly i would like to thank sex workers and strippers for providing the physical language to make both videos possible. i have been working with @swarmhive to help support this community and i know all donations to the swarm hardship fund will be welcome during this difficult time. link in bio x

I'm glad they dealt with this so maturely 

 

Soft, soothing, and succulent

You mean you guys wanted it publicly acknowledged that inspiration was drawn. There was nothing to “work out” except the drama you guys made about it.
