After making “nah he tweakin” the viral sensation we couldn’t shake this past week, Lil Nas X linked up with Tony Hawk, and we get to see some of his skating skills—sort of.
In new photos and a TikTok that Nas X shared to Instagram on Monday, the two can be seen looking pretty radical together, holding up Hawk’s limited Liquid Death Mountain Water board and taking turns riding it in the comical clip.
The video, captioned “nah WE tweakin,” starts with Nas telling fans that he’s going to take on some skating tricks, before Hawk takes his place and does the dirty work. It ends with the rapper telling fans “that’s how you skateboard,” with Tony throwing out a faint yell of “tweakin” in the background.
The pair’s last interaction took place last week, when it was revealed Hawk was selling a skateboard with his blood mixed in the deck paint, just months after Nas came under fire for selling his “Satan Shoes.”
“Now that Tony Hawk has released skateboards with his blood painted on them, and there was no public outrage, are y’all ready to admit y’all were never actually upset over the blood in the shoes? and maybe u were mad for some other reason?” Nas X tweeted last week, as he took to @rap’s Instagram comments for the now-influential “nah he tweakin” comment.
The shoes, which were Satan-themed Nike Air Max 97s, created by MSCHF, led to a Nike lawsuit and conservative outrage on social media, which Lil Nas handled with humor and repurposed for his “Industry Baby” music video with Jack Harlow. Nas X also made sure to rock them as he (almost) skated alongside the sports legend.
Also in Nas X news today, the rapper poked some fun at Drake’s Certified Lover Boy cover art with a take of his own, which you can check out here. His debut album Montero arrives on streaming platforms next month on Sept. 17.
