J Christ, the new song by rapper Lil NasX, which was destined to provoke one of the biggest controversies among Christian believers, since the premiere of Lady Gaga’s Alejandro, has found other critics in its place: Kendrick’s fans. The rapper fans found a lot of similarities between Lil Nas X’s new song and “Humble,” Lamar’s 2017 hit. On social networks, users do not stop commenting on the similarity between both topics, especially on X, formerly called Twitter, where Internet users exposed the lack of originality of the artist, in addition to the fact of having to appeal to religion to continue generating controversy.
The only thing I heard on Lil Nas X’s new single was Humble by Kendrick Lamar
The hate towards LilNasX is pure antiblackness of the j words…but they are not ready for that conversation. GREETINGS
The way Lil Nas X wanted to make a scandal and no one actually challenged him
Three years after the release of Call Me by Your Name, LNX returns with a new religious controversy. This new track is produced by Lil Nas X and respected hitmakers, Gesaffelstein and Omer Fedi. However, American media claim that “the energetic bass line and piano melody feel like a copy of Kendrick’s Grammy-winning track.”
The rapper assured that with this song he formalized a musical resurrection as the “man who had the greatest comeback of all time, Jesus.” Following the aesthetics of his past work, J Christ’s video, which in just under 24 hours has already surpassed a million views, makes a passage from the Bible and also makes reference to well-known faces from the show such as Barack Obama, Tylor Swift, Mariah Carey, among others.
