This is only the 2nd time LNX used christian imagery. The first time being Montero. Something I think ppl aren’t considering is that LNX grew up in the south and his father is a gospel singer. So of course he’s going to have experiences with religion that will be portrayed in his work. I see nothing wrong with a black queer creative showing how they feel and/or felt being raised in a religious community. I think ppl are over exaggerating by calling it blasphemy. My church had children plays on Easter Sunday that recreated the exact same scene of LNX’s cover.

For me, it just seems Christian imagery is used in a lot of cases for the shock value, to mock and to offend because it results in views and being the topic of conversation. Not sure if this is what Nas X is doing in this case because I haven’t seen the video just yet. I don’t see this happen as often with other religions and I have always wondered why? I think we should all respect each others religions even if we don’t agree with them. I would never use Islamic imagery if I didn’t serve that god. But that’s just my two cents. 🤎
