Heck then references a Twitter follower’s question to Lecrae about his political tweet: “How did you get from ‘Rebel’ to this tweet?” the questioner wanted to know. Lecrae responded: “Same way I went from 5’11 to 6’4…I grew.” Heck says he disagrees with Lecrae’s assertion that he has grown. “A spiritually mature person will resist pride’s temptation to arrogantly boast of being on history’s right side by virtue of their politics,” Heck says.
“Instead, they will acknowledge that the only right side is God’s side,” Heck says.
Lecrae Cools the Exchange; Responds Graciously
Heck’s video collected over 52,000 views on “It’s Not the Bee’s” Instagram page by press time. Lecrae responded to the post and addressed the statements Heck made about him.
“God bless you all,” Lecrae wrote. “Thanks for your graciousness, loving concern and prayers for the best.” He then explained his previous tweet, saying, “That tweet was also not about the presidential election, but I’m sure it doesn’t matter because people are more bent on spreading falsities than understanding.”
The “Don’t Waste Your Life” rapper said, “I’m a Jesus-follower who is African American and my experiences have influenced my views. I’ll always be pro-life not simply pro-birth. I will never be a Christian Nationalist. I’ll always choose the Kingdom over the nation.” Lecrae added, “I’m not a fan of Biden or Trump.”
“I also, like most humans, grow and change. Most get the privilege to do that privately,” Lecrae said, saying it was his choice to do so in the public eye. “I accept the slander and gossip and love you all. I live to please Jesus as a broken and fallen human being. I’ll never get it right, but I’ll die trying.”
Lecrae said Heck’s assumption about his performance at Warnock’s fundraiser was based on gossip. “It was a Vote Early rally. And I was asked to come to perform a song, not promote a candidate.” Lecrae pointed out that in an interview with Phil Vischer earlier this year, he told the VeggieTales‘ creator he thought the event was bipartisan and was told both candidates would be there.
