Post Malone and Justin Bieber are quite good friends, however that hasn’t stopped him from opening up about Justin’s ‘cult’ ways in a new interview with Rolling Stone.
As we know, Justin is heavily involved in Hillsong Church, and has spent the most recent years of his life devoting himself to his faith. It’s even how he and Selena Gomez rekindled their romance.
Although Post Malone believes there is something much bigger going on than your ordinary church. He explained how Justin had turned “super-religious” and “really culty”, even accusing him of donating 10 million dollars to the church.
“It’s nice to support something you believe in, I guess. But people are spending so much money, and God doesn’t care that your church has a f***ing gold roof,” he explained.
He went on to call the church “a total cult” but remained to call Justin a, “f***ing awesome, great dude” and a “genuine friend.”
Justin has yet to respond to the allegations, but his good friend and lead pastor of Hillsong Carl Lentz has hit back at Post Malone’s allegations.
Also speaking to Rolling Stone, he said, “I put no stock in comments made by people who know absolutely nothing about the subject they are speaking on. I do not know Post Malone, and I have no idea why he would say reckless things about our church, which he has never visited. Justin has not given our church $10 million, and we do not have gold ceilings. We do not even own a church building. So that gives you a little insight about how serious you can take his observations about anything to do with us.”
Wowza.
However Carl kept his class when explaining further that he admires Post Malone as an artist. “He is a very gifted artist, and I wish him nothing but the best.”
