The 39 year-old rapper-turned-country artist released his seventh studio album, “Whitsitt Chapel,” back in June and referred to it as his “reconciliation with the church.” When asked to expand, he predicted the church will suffer as a result of people “americanizing” Jesus and “weaponizing God:” “Jesus and the church is gonna die, again, if they don’t find a…
