To promote the book, the "Old Town Road" crooner jokingly pleaded on Twitter, "MY CHILDREN’S BOOK 'C IS FOR COUNTRY' IS OUT NOW!!!! GO GET IT PLEASE I REALLY NEED TO PAY MY RENT!"

Turns out that Lil Nas X's request didn't fall on deaf ears, because he later shared that the book was already charting.
