Lil Nas X’s documentary premiere at TIFF delayed due to bomb threat
The world premiere of Lil Nas X’s new documentary was delayed due to a bomb threat. On 9 September, Toronto International Film Festival attendees gathered at Roy Thomson Hall for the first screening of LNX’s doc, Long Live Montero.
However before the event – which was scheduled at 10 pm – could kick off, a bomb threat was called in allegedly targeting the Grammy winner.
According to Variety, the terrifying moment occurred as the ‘Industry Baby’ artist arrived in his car. After thoroughly sweeping the area, LNX and his family were permitted to walk the red carpet and pose for photos.
The ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ artist was joined by his two young nephews and father. Victor Kwong, Media Relations Officer for the Toronto Police Service, gave further insight into the situation in a statement toCNN. “Yesterday, at the TIFF, a passerby uttered a threat towards private security.
