Lil Nas X is reflecting on his controversial song and music video J CHRIST and offering an apology following backlash.

Lil Nas X‘s controversial new single ‘J Christ’ has received a stamp of approval from the Church Of Satan.The singer and rapper’s comeback single landed last week and he faced backlash and controversy surrounding the ‘J Christ’ cover artwork, which depicts him lying on a crucifix as five bystanders begin to raise him off the ground.In the video, impersonators of Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Ed Sheeran, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and more appear as a gospel choir sings: “Oh lord please/ Deliver us/ Deliver me.”In an interview with TMZ, Church Of Satan leader David Harris described the track and video as “fantastic.”It comes after the organisation also supported Lil Nas X back in 2021, when he faced controversy after promoting that he would be selling selling 666 pairs of limited edition “Satan Shoes” – each containing a drop of real human blood.Lil Nas X was accused of making a “mockery of Christ” with the song’s artwork, and responded by revealing that he was going to university to join a Biblical Studies programme. He will undertake a dual concentration in Christian Leadership and Biblical Studies later this year at Liberty University, a Christian university in Virginia.In the caption, Lil Nas X wrote: “I know some of yall hate me right now but i want yall to know im literally about to go to college for biblical studies in the fall.

Liberty University did not issue the Montero Hill acceptance letter posted yesterday to social media, and we have no record of Montero Hill applying to the university,” a spokesman for the Virginia-based university told Entertainment Weekly. The statement from the Christian college stated that the school “exists to glorify God by equipping men and women in higher education in fidelity to the Christian faith expressed through the Holy Scriptures.”Liberty’s statement comes after the “Call Me By Your Name” singer posted the faux acceptance letter stating that he would be attending the religious school in the fall of 2024 with a dual concentration in Christian Leadership and Biblical studies.

He then plays a one-on-one basketball game against Satan in Heaven in front of a crowd of spectators.The video spoofs various biblical stories, with Lil Nas X later seen on a crucifix and travelling across a stormy ocean on an arc.

Lil Nas X has announced that he is going to university to join a Biblical Studies programme.The rapper took to his Instagram page yesterday (January 9) to share an image of his acceptance letter to Liberty University, a Christian university in Virginia.

The Grammy winner shared both the song’s title and cover image on Monday, with the visual being quite striking. The artwork sees Lil Nas X impersonating Jesus Christ as he’s being crucified. He lies on the cross, covered in nothing but a small yellow cloth.

Lil Nas X has shared new details and the artwork for his new single ‘J Christ’.Last week, the singer revealed that he will return with a new single and self-directed music video.

Lil Nas X has gone 15 months without releasing new music, a surprisingly long time given how effectively the pop artist channeled the success of “Old Town Road” into a string of hits in a relatively short amount of time. One of the key factors in his ascent was his keen understanding of how internet discourse works and how to bend it to his will, something he’s been flexing again recently.
