‘I Saw the Vision of Jesus Christ’–‘Paper Planes’ Rapper Shares She Has Become a Born-Again Christian

Arulpragasam admitted, however, that she anticipated some backlash from her followers for her spiritual transformation. “Basically, all of my fans might turn against me because they are all progressives who hate people that believe in Jesus Christ in this country.”

In an interview with Relevant Magazine, Arulpragasam observed that American Christianity comes with certain connotations. “If you say you’re a Christian, I feel like you have to be this person who’s against this thing, who’s against this president, who’s against that thing, who’s against Twitter. It’s so crazy.” 

The artist nevertheless made it plain that she is on a spiritual journey and that there is much that she does not yet understand about Christianity. She said, “Right now I think the only clear thing I can say is that even when I had no belief in Jesus Christ and Christianity, and even when I was 100 percent comfortable in Hinduism, it was a Christian God that turned up to save me…In my time of need, the God that turned up…was not Shiva. It was Jesus.”
