Lil Nas X took over "Maury" yesterday, for what host Maury Povich called "one of the most scandalous stories" he's ever seen on the show.
The rapper brought his "That's What I Want" music video to life in the segment-- which ended with an on-air disclaimer clarifying it was for "entertainment purposes" only. Running a good 20-minutes, the extended bit starredLil Nas X as Montero-- his birth name and the title of his debut album --a football player who was shocked to learn his boyfriend and teammate had a wife and child at home.
But Montero claimed his man -- played by real-life ex-boyfriend and music video costar Yai Ariza-- was no longer in love with his wife and didn't believe their son was actually his.
Yai's wife Ashley then came out, believing she was only on the show to find out the results of the paternity test -- and flipped out when Montero revealed their secret relationship. She called him a liar, "homewrecker" and swore the child was Yai's -- while exclaiming, "I'm sorry you don't have a family of my own."
Yai himself then joined to two on stage, kissing Montero and igniting another outburst from Ashley in the process. He confirmed he wanted to be with Montero, before Maury revealed the results of the paternity test.
"In the case of 4-year-old Noah, Yai ... you are NOT the father!" he revealed, leading to a backstage fight between Yai and Ashley, who finally admitted to making some mistakes.
A lie-detector test then confirmed Yai wanted to not only leave his wife for Montero, but also wanted to be in a committed relationship with him. Unfortunately, the test also revealed Yai hadn't been faithful -- and had slept with at least 10 other people while they were together.
With that, Montero ran straight out of the building -- and didn't look back.
A message at the end of the segment read,"The 'Montero' segment is a collaboration between Lil Nas X and The Maury Show for entertainment purposes. The storyline is loosely based on the music video 'That's What I Want' by Lil Nas X."
