Last week Lil Nas X dropped a music video for his new single “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” and many noted some similarities to FKA twigs’ “Cellophane” visual—including “Cellophane” director Andrew Thomas Huang. Now, FKA twigs has thanked Lil Nas X for discussing the similarities with her. “Thank you @lilnasx for our gentle honest conversations and for acknowledging the inspiration cellophane gave you and your creative team in creating your iconic video!” she wrote on Instagram earlier this evening (March 30). She added: “I think what you have done is amazing and I fully support your expression and bravery in pushing culture forward for the queer community. Legend status.” Find her full post below.

The two visuals both feature similar pole dancing choreography. In her Instagram post, twigs also thanked Huang and choreographer Kelly Yvonne as well as sex workers and strippers for “providing the physical language to make both videos possible.” twigs also mentioned that she has been working with SWARM (Sex Worker Advocacy and Resistance Movement), and encouraged followers to donate to the organization.
