Lil Nas X may be receiving all sorts of backlash for the religious overtones in the song and video for his new single ‘J Christ,’ but praise is pouring in from a surprising source – the Church of Satan.

According to TMZ, magister/cardinal of the church David Harris has deemed the video “fantastic.”

As reported, the controversial clip sees Nas star as a whole host of biblical characters – including Jesus, Noah, and Moses.

Lyrically, the 24-year-old raps:

“Back-back-back up out the gravesite / B*tch, I’m back like J Christ / I’m finna get the gays hyped, I’m finna take it yay-high.”

Per the report, Harris expressed particular delight at Nas’ braggadocious bars about being able to go viral; a sentiment he says aligns with the church’s practice of “lesser magic” – in essence the ability to manipulate people into doing what one wants.

‘J Christ’ isn’t the only video in which the Hip-Pop star has toyed with controversy. He infamously gave the Devil a lapdance in the video for ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ before snapping his neck and rocking the horns himself.

Recently responding to Dave Chappelle’s remarks about that very video in his new standup special, Nas said:

“Y’all gotta let ‘Call Me By Your Name’ go. Me and the devil broke up three years ago. Y’all acting like children of divorce.”

Nonetheless, the Devil/Satan is featured in the ‘J Christ’ video; this time as Nas’ basketball opponent:
