'The crazy thing is nowhere in the picture is a mockery of Jesus. Jesus's image is used throughout history in people's art all over the world,' the rapper, 24, insisted on Twitter.

The song's music video featured the rapper and singer dressing up at times with dark wings and horns, which was described by some of his critics — and defenders — as satanic imagery.
