<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lil-nas-x">Lil Nas X</a> is facing backlash for an image promoting his newest <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">single</a>, “J Christ,” which depicts the rapper being crucified on a cross.
The 24-year-old recording artist announced the song’s upcoming release on X with a still image and a GIF further promoting the song. &#8220;MY NEW SINGLE IS DEDICATED TO THE MAN WHO HAD THE GREATEST COMEBACK OF ALL TIME! J CHRIST JANUARY 12, 2024 00:00 EST BE THERE!&#8221; he wrote. 
Many commenters on the platform speculated the song would be a mockery of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christianity">Christian</a> faith and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jesus-christ">Jesus Christ</a>.
&#8220;Oh gee whiz I’m sure this won’t be as blasphemous as possible,&#8221; conservative author Rachel Wilson <a href="https://twitter.com/Rach4Patriarchy/status/1744436437347410220">replied</a> to the photo.

&#8220;This is demonic,&#8221; Christian rapper Bryson Gray <a href="https://twitter.com/RealBrysonGray/status/1744415022430740903">agreed</a>.
&#8220;Singer @LilNasX MOCKS Jesus in a teaser for his new single ‘J Christ’ as he appears in underwear and silver boots in a video clip posted to his X,” former transgender influencer Oli London <a href="https://twitter.com/OliLondonTV/status/1744453573239361984">wrote</a>. “The singer has previously courted outrage for promoting Satanic practices including selling sneakers containing human blood.&#8221;
Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, made headlines in the past for including Satanic imagery in his music videos and selling Satan-themed sneakers. The rapper has since announced his switch to promoting Christianity. 
Many fans were confused in November 2023 when Hill released a music video of a worship song, <a href="https://twitter.com/LilNasX/status/1730039265890078987">asking</a> fans, “Y’all mind if I enter my Christian era?” 
When people asked in the comments if the rapper was just trolling everyone, Hill <a href="https://twitter.com/LilNasX/status/1730075611497205913">replied</a>, “making Christian (sic) music does not mean i can’t s*** d*** no more. the two are not mutually exclusive. i am allowed to get on my knees for multiple reasons.”
When fans called his latest song release sacrilegious, Lil Nas X once again insisted it wasn’t.
&#8220;[T]he crazy thing is nowhere in the picture is a mockery of jesus (sic). Jesus’s image is used throughout history in people’s art all over the world. I’m not making fun of sh**. yall just gotta stop trying to gatekeep a religion that was here before any of us were even born. Stfu,&#8221; he <a href="https://twitter.com/LilNasX/status/1744405262025228674">wrote</a>.

Later, Hill claimed he was accepted to a Christian college.
“I know twitter hates me right now but i want yall to know im literally about to go to college for biblical studies in the fall. Not everything is a troll! Anyways IM A STUDENT AGAIN! LETS GOOO,” the rapper <a href="https://twitter.com/LilNasX/status/1744865818125443325">wrote</a> alongside a photo of an acceptance letter to the evangelical Christian college Liberty University on Tuesday.
Community Notes added a disclaimer that the letter appeared to be signed by former university president Jerry Falwell, who died in 2007, meaning the letter was almost certainly not legitimate.
