Lil Nas X’s “J Christ” Receives Church Of Satan’s Stamp Of Approval

by

Lil Nas X may not have won over Christians with his new single “J Christ,” but it looks like he at least got a stamp of approval from the Church of Satan. Amid the onslaught of backlash the hitmaker has received for his new religious era, TMZ chatted with the leader of the organization, magister David Harris. According to him, the track and its accompanying music video are nothing short of “fantastic.”

Harris also says that despite Lil Nas X comparing himself to Jesus in the song, his trajectory lines up pretty well with the church’s belief in “lesser” magic, or influence on others. He also clarified a few misconceptions about the Church of Satan, claiming that instead of actually worshipping the devil, it encourages its members to simply be themselves.

Lil Nas X Wins Over Satanists With New Single

While magister David Harris appears to be a fan, many others have made their disapproval known following the release. Conservatives have accused the performer of mocking Christianity, disrespecting God, and of course, being a Satanist. Obviously, this latest development probably won’t help with the accusations. Lil Nas X insists they’re not true, however, firing back on Twitter last week.

“I’ve crossed satan up and broke his ankles, snapped his neck and literally killed him, made a song referencing the return of jesus, and somehow yall still think im a satanist,” the artist responded to a user accusing him of being a Satanist. “I can not win lmaooo.” Regardless, it doesn’t look like he’s letting the backlash get him down, and says that he currently has an entire gospel album in the works. What do you think of the Church of Satan showing love to Lil Nas X’s new single? What about the backlash he’s been receiving as of late? Are you a fan of the track?

by

During a recent interview with Apple Music, Doja Cat shared her feelings on rumors prompted by some of her Scarlet tracks. Some listeners have accused her of being a Satanist. According to her, references to the devil in her music or visuals are merely a creative choice and don’t always carry the meaning that social media users assume. She says that while her work is up for interpretation, some of the speculation can get old, leading her to become frustrated.

“I like the idea of I did it on purpose and it’s this big ruse to make people react, but I also like the idea of—what it is is that I love this piece of visual art,” Doja Cat explained. “I like this visual for this sound. So, I chose that visual and I applied it to the sound and people made up what they want, which is what you do with art. You interpret it how you want to interpret it.”

Doja Cat Thinks Devil-Worship Rumors Are “Annoying”

“Everybody has the right to interpret it how they want, but this whole very confident Satanism thing is like, I’m sorry – when the f*ck did I say that I was a Satanist?” she continued. “When did I ever say anything or even go marching outside the church? Talking about—no, when the f*ck did I say that? Anyway, it’s really tacky and annoying and f*cking discredits a lot of the hard work that I’ve put in. It discredits a lot of the hard work that a lot of people have put in.”

Lil Uzi Vert Compares Christianity To A Cult

by

Lil Uzi Vert is an artist who has consistently been criticized for their various references to the occult. Overall, the satanic panic that is currently going around has been humorous to watch. Some people really believe that Uzi is conjuring up the devil by wearing upside-down crosses. It is all very silly, and it truly feels like we are back in the 90s when parents were upset with Marilyn Manson. However, Uzi continues to provoke people, and it has ultimately led to the current discourse.

In a recent interview with GQ, Lil Uzi Vert got to speak on a whole host of different topics. For instance, they talked about the influence of Young Thug, their conversations with Nicki Minaj, as well as being inspired by Chance The Rapper. Moreover, Uzi got to speak on all of the controversy surrounding their supposed satanism. As you can imagine, they find this all very amusing. Additionally, they said that every religion is a cult in one way or another. It’s just that some are more accepted than others.

“Do these people think me being Satanic is what helps my success?” they said. “Or that I’m trying to force people into the occult? Any type of religion is some type of a cult. Being Christian is a cult. You all meet at a place to pray and worship.” It’s a solid point, although there are plenty of people who would take large issue with this kind of characterization.

Let us know what you think of Uzi’s comments, down below. Additionally, be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music. We will always be sure to keep you informed of the biggest news from the biggest artists.

Lil Uzi Vert Faces Backlash For Alleged Satanism Over New Magazine Cover

by

Lil Uzi Vert has faced criticism and backlash from fans for his recent bloody photo shoot with 032c Magazine. It is another instance in a longline of accusations of “Satanism” leveraged at the rapper. The magazine cover features Lil Uzi with an upside-down cross painted on his forehead and blood coming out of his nostrils. While it can certainly be said that the rapper is drawing up “Satanic” imagery and themes, the rapper is almost certainly not actually a Satanist. However, that didn’t stop fans and critics from expressing disappointment.

Fans took to the magazine’s comment section to express their disapproval. One critic straight up referring to Uzi’s behavior as “Satanic.” Another accused him of using his music to brainwash and confuse the youth. This is not the first time the Philadelphia rapper has been accused of Satanic behavior. He previously performed a song with lyrics referencing Satan during his Rolling Loud California set. Of course, this drew criticism from other rappers and fans alike. Tony Yayo, a member of G-Unit, expressed his disbelief. He stated that he personally believes in God and finds Uzi’s lyrics to be too extreme. Summer Walker also voiced her concerns about the trendiness of demon worship. She questioned whether those promoting it had actually encountered or understood the gravity of such entities.

Uzi Responds To Claims Of Satanism

After the Rolling Loud song performance criticism got too loud to ignore, Lil Uzi Vert eventually responded to the backlash. In the aforementioned song, he raps the line, “I make a City Girl believe in Satan.” While this isn’t the first time Uzi has mentioned the devil in his music, this particular lyric sparked significant pearl-clutching. Apparently, it even led to a pastor denouncing the rapper during a sermon. The pastor highlighted not only this lyric but also other instances where Lil Uzi Vert had referenced the devil in his songs throughout the years.

During a recent encounter with TMZ, Uzi addressed the backlash and clarified his intentions behind the controversial lyric. He confirmed that his upcoming album, Pink Tape, would be released in the next few months. He also said that the song performed at Rolling Loud would be included on the tracklist. When explaining the meaning behind the lyric, he clarified that the line had nothing to do with Satan. Rather, it meant that he has influence over women. Uzi also mentioned that JT, of the City Girls, didn’t think much of the lyric when he discussed it with her.
