Lil Nas X's Controversial "J Christ" Video Sparks Backlash and Debate

Lil Nas X's latest release, "J Christ," has been criticized for its planned virality and misuse of his familiar playbook, with the video being described as a string of micro-shock vignettes lacking in substance. The rapper's use of religious imagery and themes has sparked controversy, with some critics expressing predictable responses to his jokes. Despite his playful manipulation of religious imagery, Lil Nas X appears to be taking critiques seriously in a self-filmed response video, although there is anticipation that he might break character at any moment.
