Lil Nas X Fires Off Warning Shot on Bouncy ‘Big Dummy’ Single: ‘Y’all Finna Get This Heat All 2025’

The song comes on the heels of Sunday's (March 9) release of the title track from the rapper's upcoming album, "Dreamboy."

Lil Nas X took some time off, but clearly it was no vacation. The rapper has dropped back-to-back new singles this week and on his latest he’s warning that no games will be played this year. “B–ch, I’m in my prime like a paintbrush/ Big s–t poppin’, walkin’ ’round in a mink vest/ Whoop-whoop, talkin’ ain’t tryna hear the stank breath/ B–ch, shut the f–k up unless she’s got a big chef for me,” he raps over a spare, bass-heavy beat.

In the equally bare-bones video, Lil Nas delivers the song’s fair warning to watch yourself in a white void, rocking a pink shirt and black jeans with pink crosses and wings across the front as three male dancers in pink matchin bounce around behind him. When the sing-songy chorus comes around, LNX is back on his fun vibe.

“In the club, cuttin’ up/ Gettin’ drunk while I’m pickin’ out my pick-me/ All my opps and my simps gettin’ low/ ‘Cause they want but they know they can’t get me,” he sings in a high voice before getting back to business with some NSFW bars about “bangin’ on his top like bongos.”

A third preview of Lil Nas’ upcoming album, “Hotbox,” is due out on Friday (March 14), after the rapper teased the song’s video last month.

This week opened with the surprise drop of the “Dreamboy” single, on which Lil Nas raps “I was scared then, ain’t scared now/ Weren’t ready then, but I’m ready now,” over some chunky piano. The Dreamboy album — the follow-up to 2021’s Montero — does not yet have an official release date.
