Lil Nas X’s “J CHRIST” song only managed to reach no.69 on the Billboard charts, but he says he’s still proud of the single.
“I’m proud of my song and the video. Everyone expected me to be upset or something. But I’m a very spiritual person. I’m thankful that I get to even be in the charts and still be in the conversation. And I’m making new music and it’s been so long. So I’m grateful for that,” he told Variety.
The rapper faced backlash when Christians took offense to his portrayal of Jesus Christ in the video. He issued an apology after the video’s release and agreed he took things too far.
He continued, “I’m a very spiritual young man. I believe that things are going to work out as long as I’m doing my part. I’ve never worked harder on an album or done more in my life internally to get things right. I’m excited for the outcome,” he said.
