Mase, Rapper Turned Pastor Accused of Living Double Life by Church members (VIDEO)
Rapper/ Pastor Mase is being criticized by some of his congregation who claim he is a fake who has committed blasphemy by using the holiness of the church to advance his rap career.
TMZ reported many of the worshipers at his church are fed up with the Harlem native stating he is using church to push his "very unholy rap agenda."
Churchgoers told TMZ, they believe Mase is "living a double life, spending as much time in the studio with hardcore rappers as in the church." They reportedly said his messages from the pulpit are hypocritical, because what he raps about is exactly the opposite.
The news source said the former Bad Boy rapper turned pastor secretly filed for divorce on January 2, citing irreconcilable differences. He allegedly requested full custody of their two children and child support. He stopped divorce proceedings a day before Valentine's Day.
Some of the parishioner's told TMZ, Mase, who has made a fortune publishing books on making a marriage last, has been preaching about the virtues of marriage even after his filing, and yet never once addressed his own situation. They report there is talk now about refusal to fund the church.
Mase is still doing music, and although a Pastor now, his content on a new song he is featured on "Tricky Situation," is about a man who brags about being with a woman who is already engaged. The pastor is heard dissing the female.
