So you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. This is your fourth new show of the year.

Actually, the final of our first week back. So a quick thank you and love yo face to everyone that's hopped back on the news train in 2024.

We got a lot of news to talk about today. We've got Lil Nas X getting blasted for this Jesus scandal.

Mr. Bees could be the key to beating YouTube. We've got Trump, bomb threats. In South Africa presented their chilling genocide case against Israel today. There's even more,

so buckle up, hit that like button to start 2024 off, right? And let's just jump into it.

Starting with, Jesus Christ is at the center of today's big internet controversy. Also Lil Nas X.

Well, specifically Lil Nas X, because of Jesus. Which I also gotta say,

Lil Nas X, Trojan horse the fuck out of so many people. The man busted onto the scene with Old Town

Road, doing his little honky top with Billy Ray Cyrus. It became the biggest song of the year,

and then he just went on to make some of the most explicitly gave music for the next five.

Then going further, releasing Satan sneakers with blood,

put out a music video where he gave Satan a lap dance.

But for a second, some people were like,

uh-oh, Lil Nasax is going to switch up this year.

Because on his Instagram, he seemingly, out of nowhere,

just posted this image of Jesus,

announcing his new single, Jay Christ, and writing,

that the song is dedicated to the man who had the greatest comeback of all time. And so with this, we immediately saw backlash.

But with a number of people saying he's rage-baiting Christians for some sort of relevance.

So Lil Nas-X hit back, saying the crazy thing is nowhere in the picture is a mockery of Jesus.

Jesus' images used throughout history in people's art all over the world.

I'm not making fun of shit.
