Church of Satan Leader Praises Lil Nas X’s New Single and Video “J CHRIST”

Lil Nas X is receiving support from the Church of Satan for his new video “J CHRIST.” In the video, Lil Nas X stretches himself on the cross and beats the devil in a game of one-one-one.

In response, magister David Harris of the Church of Satan told TMZ he thought the video was “fantastic.” For clarity, the Church of Satan doesn’t uplift Satan but instead highlights being your true self, living life to the fullest, and personal achievement.

On Friday (Jan 12.), Lil Nas X officially marked the dawn of his next era with the release of his first single in two years, “J CHRIST.”

Co-written by Lil Nas X himself alongside Omer Fedi, Mike Levy (Gesaffelstein), and Blake Slatkin, the song showcases a blend of creativity with production by Fedi, Gesaffelstein, and Lil Nas X.

Accompanying the single is the release of the official video, which not only serves as Lil Nas X’s solo directorial debut but follows a story he crafted. The “J CHRIST” visual is a gleefully subversive journey, featuring Lil Nas X conquering both heaven’s gates and hell’s fires. The video was shot in Mexico City.

As he asserts his faith and sails through a flooded rapture, Lil Nas X proudly declares his chosen direction: “THIS WAY.” The artist is forging a new path, expressing his spirituality uniquely, and signaling a fresh beginning in his musical journey. DAY ZERO of this next chapter has arrived, showcasing Lil Nas X’s evolution and commitment to authenticity in his artistry.
