Many online commenters pointed to past posts and public appearances as supposed evidence of his earlier religious affiliation.
The rapper did not let the speculation linger. Responding directly on Elon Musk's X platform, he set the record straight in a brief but firm statement:
"Never was a Muslim; I've prayed with them before but never was Muslim. Respect."
