Lil
Nas
X
recently
addressed
backlash
from
the
Christian
community
over
his
“J
Christ”
video
that
caused
an
uproar
with
a
communion
scene.
If
being
controversial
is
part
of
your
brand,
there
will
always
come
a
time
when
you
fly
too
close
to
the
sun
and
get
burned.
For Lil
Nas
X,
that
recently
happened
while
he
was
promoting
his
recent
single
“J
Christ”
when
he
released
a
video
of
himself
having
communion.
While
dressed
as
Jesus
he
ate
communion
crackers
and
drank
copious
amounts
of
communion
wine.
According
to
Complex,
Lil
Nas
X
recently
said
that
he
understands
that
he
crossed
the
line
with
the
scene,
but
he
doesn’t
regret
anything
else.
Earlier
this
week,
he
opened
up
about
the
entire
ordeal
while
on
Jay
Shetty’s On
Purpose
podcast.
“I
already
kind
of
explained
the
situation
in
that
video,
but
it
was
thing
that
that
artistically
was
just
supposed
to
be
like,
‘I’m
returning.
I’m
back,
I’m
back
like
Him,’”
said
Nas
X
to
the
British
author
and
podcaster.
“It
turned
into
this
whole
thing
where
it
was
me
trying
to
dunk
on
Christians
or
something,
and
that
was
never
what
it
was.
I
looked
at
the
video
with
me
eating
like
the
communion
or
whatnot,
and
I
was
like
‘Okay,
this
looks
really
bad
on
paper.
This
thing
that
I
thought
was
a
little
jokey
fun
video.”
If
you
thought
his
apology
meant
he
was
done
trolling
or
being
his
authentic
self,
think
again.
“I
feel
like
I’ve
apologized
to
the
communion
thing
on
that
note.
Everything
else
I’m
not
sorry
about,”
said
Lil
Nas
X.
“I
don’t
think
I
did
anything
wrong.
I’ve
also
been
making
a
lot
of
gospel
music
to
God
and,
like,
my
spiritual
side,
and
I
hate
that
this
whole
thing
gets
turned
into
a
‘mockery,’
which
it
isn’t.”
In
every
artist’s
career,
there
comes
a
time
when
they
upset
a
large
group
of
people,
it
always
happens.
However,
Lil
Nas
X
should
have
known
the
Christians
who
were
already
against
him
wouldn’t
let
him
play
about
Jesus.
You
live
and
you
learn,
but
all
of
this
could
have
been
avoided.
After
this
recent
backlash,
he
will
have
to
come
up
with
some
great
music
because
any
gimmicks
will
quickly
be
written
off.
“J
Christ”
debuted
at
No.
69
on
the
Billboard
Hot
100
Chart
and
the
rapper
lost
almost
150K
followers.

Nas
