TORONTO (Reuters) – ⁣ American rapper and song writer Lil Nas X hopes his fans get to the “real me,” behind ‍the ‌stage persona through his new documentary film, the musician told ‍reporters at the 43 ⁤Toronto Film Festival on Saturday night.

Nas X, whose given ⁢name is Montero Lamar Hill, is⁣ the ​first ‍openly gay man to receive a Country Music Association award for his song “Old Town Road.”

The biographical documentary “Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero,” directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada and Zac Manuel, follows the star on ⁤tour, capturing his relationship with ⁤his fans. Along the‌ way it brings together Nas’s journey of owning up his identity as a ‍black queer artist.

“I want my fans to see the real me – I am‍ someone who is always joking and making fun 24/7, so through ⁢this film they can take what they want to,”​ Nas⁢ told reporters at the red carpet. The film also ⁢is an end of an era ​of his life‍ and the beginning of‍ a new one, he ‌said.

“This film is so ⁤immediate in the sense the state of mind where I am in… a bit confused.” Nas said.

Estrada told Reuters the⁤ film is structured around the idea of transformation, where Nas and his fans represent owning up to⁤ one’s identity and becoming⁣ the person one is meant to be.

“The ​fans of Nas have embraced his message about becoming that person you are⁤ meant to be, ⁤acknowledging all the parts of yourself that‍ you love and fear,”‌ Estrada said.
