The world premiere of 'Long Live Montero' at TIFF was delayed Saturday after a threat targeting the Black, queer musician, The Times has confirmed.

The Saturday night premiere of the documentary “Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero” at the Toronto International Film Festival was delayed after a bomb threat was called in targeting the artist, multiple sources close to the artist confirmed to The Times., which said that the threat specifically targeted the “Old Town Road” rapper for being a Black queer artist.

The screening at TIFF’s Roy Thomson Hall, home to the festival’s gala events, was delayed by some 20 minutes as authorities determined the threat was not credible. Lil Nas X was held from arriving on the red carpet before he eventually joined directors Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel and entered the building, at which point the screening proceeded as planned. A source who was inside the venue told The Times that attendees were not informed about the threat.
