You may or may not have seen the YouTube clip of a pastor by the name of Elder G. Craige Lewis, of EX Ministries in Harlem, who claims that Jay Z is the devil, or anti-christ, or something along those lines. He "proved" this by playing a proposed clip of one of Jigga's song in reverse and claimed it said "666, murda, murda, Jesus" [Stop rolling your eyes].

So, while visiting Power 105.1's morning show Egypt and Ashy in the Morning, Jay Z commented on the allegations saying:

"He should be arrested, seriously," Jay laughed. "My position is not unlike anyone else who ascends to the top of their field. That comes with the game. But that's crazy. That might be the craziest one I've had."

"But do you go to church?" asked Egypt.

"Nah, I"m more spiritual than [having] organized religion. I have a personal relationship with God. ....I believe in karma, I believe in cause and effect...but religion, I have my opinions about religion."

When the clip first swept through the internet, it was all the buzz...I had one question...How is it that this pastor one day decided to listen to an "underground" song by Jay Z backwards? Okay...I had another question, how do you reverse an mp3?

It is definitely an outrageous conspiracy theory...Jay Z, his lyrical content and lifestyle may not be in line with contemporary Christianity, but this is by far a stretch of the imagination!

Nonetheless, I agree with Jay, this may be the craziest one around!
