In recent days, Lil Nas X ruffled many with his ‘J CHRIST’ artwork & music video in which he portrayed Jesus Christ on the crucifix to which he says he “Did not mean to mock” Christianity and that he is not evil.

The 24-year-old country-rapper shared a video of himself on social media addressing the backlash, in which he says it was not an apology.

“I know I messed up really bad this time. I can act unbothered all I want, but it’s definitely taken a mental toll on me.”

Lil Nas also said “I’m not some evil demon guy trying to destroy everybody’s values and stuff like that. That’s not me.”

He, however, apologized for a TikTok video of himself simulating the act of taking the Holy Communion.

Lil Nas X’s much-hyped music video for his single “J CHRIST,” was released on January 12.
