Lil Nas X laid it all out on stage at the BET Awards on Sunday with a royal rendition of “Montero”, sealed with a kiss.

In an Ancient Egyptian themed performance inspired by Michael Jackson’s “Remember The Time”, the rapper gave a show to remember, complete with a steamy kiss with one of his male dancers.

The 22-year-old emerged on the fiery stage from underneath a black cloak, into a shimmering scantily-clad Pharaoh costume for the memorable homage to Jackson. The daring performance, which took place during the end of Pride Week, sparked mostly a positive reaction on Twitter.
