Lil Nas X used his star power and the high public interest in the release of his second studio album, Montero, to help raise awareness about HIV and support local community organizations. Prior to the album’s release, Lil Nas X created the Montero Baby Registry which raised money for 17 organizations; 13 of which were COMPASS community partners. This week, Little Nas X came to Atlanta to celebrate his album’s success with the Homecoming Listening Party. Before the event, Lil Nas X made sure to visit with Atlanta-based COMPASS partner and Montero Baby Registry beneficiary, Thrive SS. We’re so proud to partner with amazing organizations like these, and grateful for Lil Nas X using his platform to help end HIV stigma.
