Lil Nas X did a lot of trolling on social media to promote his new "J Christ" single, and he was heavily criticized.

But it turns out, all of his antics didn't amount to a strong chart showing and some clowned him.

Per Chart Data, the single opened up at number 69 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. That's despite the 24-year-old using a lot of religious imagery, lying about going to Bible college, and saying he was going to expose the entire industry with his new music.
