Did This Local Rapper Go Too Far With His Image Of Jesus Holding Naked Women?

It looks like one of our local rappers is a firm believer in the notion that there's no such thing as bad publicity. He might owe Kanye West a thank you as well.

Oh hey, you must be that guy who’s trying to be South Africa’s version of Kanye West?

South African rap artist Reason, real name Sizwe Moeketsi, took to Facebook to give his fans a taste of what might be in store for his upcoming album cover. He must have known it was going to cause serious buzz when he posted a picture of Jesus rocking out some black shades and carrying a naked woman slung over each shoulder.

Of course no social media post is complete without a hashtag and Reason chose #ReazusChristIsCummin, making it blatant that he is toying with Kanye’s Yeezus persona. Below is that post in full:

I guess Reason subscribes to the idea that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, with the interest drummed up sure to make tomorrow’s big release one that folks will be watching closely.

I wasn’t able to reach Jesus for comment but I imagine Reason owes someone a few Hail Mary’s.
