Why Christian content? Why now?
Master P spoke up loud and clear with that answer to the Christian Post at this year’s Movieguide Awards saying, “Don’t be afraid to grow and change. You know I come from the streets and I come from the pain. Without God I wouldn’t be here. So, why not change and grow up and do right?”
Romeo also spoke up about why he is choosing to create more inspirational content in his future:
“I’ve had a lot of success in this industry…over 19 years. That success really is because of God. I’ve seen a lot of my cousins pass away when I was younger. I saw my cousin die when I was 8 years old. In that moment, I knew that we are on this earth for a reason. It’s a bigger purpose. You can’t let instagram and social media push you away from what your purpose is. I think we compare too much in this generation. I wanna just make content and movies and let my career be about God and showing kids that we’re all masterpieces you know?
That’s what this next go round is about for me and my pops is about…making sure we get the right content out there that’s leading people in the right direction as well.”

Grammy award winning artist Jekalyn Carr and Christian R&B newcomer have come together for their newest collab “Hands On Me”! In just four days, their new video for the single hit 100K and the numbers continue to climb!
Surprisingly to some, Christian R&B is not a new genre. But, it has recently become more widespread outside of the Christian R&B community in the last few years due to much of the music going viral on TikTok. There have been a host of artists who have been pushing out creative music with this sound as far back as 2012 and before. In recent years, we have seen new artists jumping into the genre style with a fresh take merging Gospel and Christian R&B together!
Following in the steps of recent collaborations from artists like Erica Campbell and Jordan Armstrong and more, Jekalyn Carr and Mike Teezy are continuing the trend of Gospel + Christian R&B artists coming together for a new era of Gospel music!

Justin Timberlake and Tobe Nwigwe recently performed on Saturday Night Live debuting Timberlake’s newest single “Sanctified”. Prior to this performance, only a short portion of the song had been previewed in an NFL Wildcard ESPN commercial. Now that the full song has been released, fans are sharing their love and a few concerns. Considering the Christian references throughout the song, Christian fans are sharing their thoughts as well. While some major websites such as Rollingstone have reported the two artist’s collaboration as a Gospel release, a close listen to the lyrics from fans is bringing a new response that is correcting that perspective.
.
How Are Fans Responding?
The response from fans so far depends on the audience. Most agree that musically the song hits! Everything was done extremely well! With Adam Blackstone involved in combination with all of the artists featured, that was almost a guarantee. But, lyrically is where the divide comes in from the faith based audience and the general mainstream audience.
While it’s clear that the song has a strong sexual connotation, some from the Faith based community specifically feel that the correlation to the crucifixion and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Glory of God might be taking things too far. It has also been stated that the song might have originally been created as a love letter to his wife Jessica Biel as the lyrics also seem to point to the Trolls star feeling grateful for someone who has led him through a dark time:
“You take all of my wrongs, move right along, take mе and fix my mess / Get me up whеn I’m low, hand on my soul, like you see right inside,” Timberlake sings. “I come out a new man, no blood on my hands, sanctified.”
– Excerpt from Justin Timberlake’s “Sanctified”
