Lil Nas X has become known for being a boundary-pushing artist, often stirring up controversy with his bold and provocative choices. However, despite the backlash he receives, he has found a fan in an unlikely place - the Church of Satan.
His latest music video for his single "J Christ" has caused quite a stir among religious groups, who have labeled the artwork and visuals as "shameful" and "blasphemous." But amidst the criticism, the Church of Satan has come out in support of Lil Nas X, with their magister David Harris praising the video as "fantastic."
This is not the first time Lil Nas X has faced backlash for incorporating religious imagery in his work. In fact, he has become well-known for referencing religion and challenging societal norms in his music and visuals. In 2021, he even released a limited edition line of "Satan Shoes" which contained a drop of real human blood, causing an uproar among conservatives and religious figures.
But despite the criticism, Lil Nas X stands by his artistic choices, stating that he is not mocking religion or Christianity. He argues that Jesus's image is used in art all over the world and that he is simply expressing himself through his art.
In response to the backlash, Lil Nas X took to social media to share a statement defending his creative decisions. He also teased an upcoming acoustic song, playfully asking if his fans would mind if he entered his "Christian era."
While some may see Lil Nas X's use of religious references as a gimmick, he maintains that he is just expressing himself in different ways. He believes that he is often targeted for his fun, cute, and petite persona, and that people don't police other artists in the same way.
Despite the controversy, Lil Nas X has gained a strong following and continues to push boundaries with his art. His fans have shown their support by quickly selling out his "Satan Shoes" and praising his creativity and fearlessness. And as for the Church of Satan, they are not afraid to publicly endorse his work and even ask for a pair of his infamous shoes.
