Lil Nas X has never been known for his restraint, causing new controversies over and over again. This time, however, he faced a great avalanche of criticism from Christian artists and viewers who accused him of offending religious feelings in the latest music video for the song “J Christ”.

Among the artists who have expressed outrage over Lil Nas X’s latest work is Lecrae, the Grammy Award-winning Gospel singer and rapper. However, a real storm broke out after a fragment of a music video appeared on TikTok, showing him eating communion bread and drinking wine from a chalice, dressed as Jesus.
“I didn’t mean to mock.” Rapper’s statement
We have already spoken on this matter. I didn’t mean cannibalism or any other weirdness. But I’m sorry about that. I will say I’m sorry about that. This was an exaggeration. I didn’t mean to mock. It wasn’t ‘Fuck you, people. Fuck you Christians. This wasn’t it. That was it – I came back like Jesus. I’m not the first person to dress up as Jesus. I’m not the first rapper, I’m not the first artist and I won’t be the last,” we read in his statement shared on the X platform (formerly
Twitter).
Although the artist apologized for his artistic concept, his art was released into the world. It’s hard to resist the impression that this was also his goal – after all, controversy always arouses the most emotions. Still, in a four-minute statement, he notes that “It was more to clear my head of my own thoughts. I know I really messed up this time. And I can pretend I don’t care, but it’s definitely taking a toll on me mentally.” ” – noted Lil Nas X.
The music video is full of religion. Lil Nas announces new album
The breathtaking video for “J Christ” features many biblical-themed scenes, ending with Nas as Noah, building the ark and sailing out after the great flood, until the first part ends – continued. Moreover, the clip is full of LGBTQ+ motifs, so we get material that is full of emotions. He is expected to release a new album soon – the follow-up to his debut album “Montero”.
