A conversation about faith on Kirk Franklin’s ‘Den of Kings’ podcast sparked a viral moment between actor Jonathan Majors and rapper NLE Choppa.
The exchange, centered on the nature of Jesus Christ, led to a pointed suggestion from Majors and a subsequent social media response from the rapper. This clash has ignited widespread online debate about Christian doctrine and scriptural interpretation.
The now-viral interaction occurred during an October 10 episode of ‘Den of Kings,’ where the conversation turned to Christianity. NLE Choppa expressed a personal issue with the faith, stating, “In Christianity, it’s a thing where people praise the Son more than they praise the Father. And that’s what I don’t like”.
He elaborated on his perspective by reasoning, “Because if we are man made in the likeness, Jesus is our brother. Why would I drop down and praise my brother instead of praising my father?”. This controversial viewpoint prompted a calm yet direct intervention from fellow guest Jonathan Majors, who had been listening to the discussion.
Jonathan Majors’ Pointed Question and ResponseResponding to Choppa’s theological claim, Jonathan Majors interjected with a simple but loaded question: “Have you read the Bible?”. The rapper affirmed that he had, replying, “I’ve read it, listened to it, and received from source”. Seemingly unconvinced by this answer, Majors looked at Choppa and delivered his now-famous retort: “I would say read it again”.
The actor’s response, noted for its composure and clarity, left the room in awkward laughter and quickly drew praise online for its confident delivery. Social media users enthusiastically reacted, calling it one of the best comebacks they had heard.
NLE Choppa Fires Back with Bible VersesFollowing the viral spread of the clip, NLE Choppa responded to Majors on social media. In a post captioned “READ IT AGAIN,” the rapper shared screenshots of three specific Bible verses from the books of Matthew, John, and Hebrews. These passages appeared to support his original argument, emphasizing the familial relationship between Jesus and believers.
One shared section from Hebrews 2:11 stated, “Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters”. This move signaled that Choppa was standing by his interpretation of scripture.

The encounter ignited a broad conversation on social media, with users weighing in on both the theological debate and the style of the exchange. Many commentators appreciated Majors’ straightforward reply, with one Instagram user calling it “the best and most straight forward reply”.
Others engaged in the scriptural discussion, with some pointing to verses like, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’”. Another user supported Choppa’s core point, writing, “NLE is 100% right… he understands correctly”. Many observers simply valued the open discussion, with one commenter noting, “I love that everyone in the room gave him the space and the time to process what he wanted to say”.
A Resurfaced Personal History Between the TwoThis was not the first time NLE Choppa has been linked to Jonathan Majors’ personal life. Months before Majors’ marriage to actress Meagan Good in March 2025, the rapper had publicly admitted his crush on her during an appearance on The Jason Lee Show. At the time, Choppa reacted to her photo by saying, “I’ve been waiting on her!”.
Good later responded to his comments, describing him as a “sweet young man” but “too young”. Though that earlier exchange had faded from view, their latest encounter during the faith-based discussion brought the past back into the spotlight.
