He told PEOPLE exclusively that he came up with the idea to do the shoot after listening to Megan Thee Stallion's verse on his new song "Dolla Sign Slime" for the first time.

"I was like, 'Oh my God, this is amazing,' so I immediately called my stylist," he said. "She was like, 'Wow, this all comes together. Your album. Your baby.' I was like, 'Yeah, this is my baby, huh?' As a joke, she was like, 'Yeah, you should do a pregnancy shoot.'"

When asked if the album was an immaculate conception of sorts, Lil Nas X responded, "I guess I am the father as well as the mother."

During the making of Montero, the "Industry Baby" artist said he learned "to have full faith in myself."
