Dramatizing giving the Eucharist, robed up in priestly regalia for a music video that has no connection with Christianity is disrespectful. In his Bandana video, he depicts black goats troping into the church, with cloven tongues of fire above weird men. Asake, I think, is a Muslim. Why doesn’t he go above and beyond to embarrass his Muslim faith in this same way? Why do Christians even listen to these musicians who bluntly disrespect Christianity?”

_@damilola069: “Christian religion looks like playing ground, you can do anything and go scot free.”

_@BG_Liberty: “This video 2/10, who directed this? who accepted the idea? what a disrespect to Christianity‍♂️. I wish you can try this with your own religion.”

_@martins.turner: “Asake look at how you mocked the catholic religion, your battles is with God, Asake do the needful and delete this video.”
