In it, LNX performs Noah, captaining his ark by way of tough waters, and even exhibits him as Christ on the cross. He additionally breaks the satan’s ankles in a one-on-one basketball sport for good measure.
The lyrics solely add to the tune’s spiritual ties … that includes strains like “Back up out the gravesite/Bitch I’m back like J Christ” — so yeah, you can say faith is a principal theme.
Whereas sure Christian rappers and teams have expressed disgust with the tune and video, the Church of Devil loves it … magister David Harris tells TMZ he is giving the video a thumbs up, calling the imagery “fantastic.”

The magister (kinda like a cardinal to Church of Devil members) says his church — which does not really worship Devil and as an alternative touts being your true self, private achievement and dwelling life to the fullest — is not obsessive about iconography like different church buildings … you will by no means see them react to portrayals of the Satan with anger.
Harris’s obtained receipts to again that declare up … having beforehand given a stamp of approval to his “Montero” music vid despite the depiction of Devil (he additionally lauded the second Lil Nas kills him and takes his crown.)

Lil Nas X mentioned he’s divorced from the satan … but it surely does not seem like the Church of Devil is dropping him anytime quickly.
