Ruggedman under fire over photo of Jesus Christ he shared on Instagram (photos)

Nigerian rapper, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as, Ruggedman, has caused uproar on Instagram after he shared a photo of Jesus Christ on Instagram.

In the post, Ruggedman shared a photo of Robert Powell as Jesus Christ and thanked God in his caption.

According to some Nigerians on Instagram who were offended, the post indirectly means that the rapper was giving thanks to Robert Powell because the photo is not really a portrait of Jesus Christ.

They expressed that it is wrong for the rapper to put up an actor’s photo and thank the lord Jesus Christ in the caption.

Ruggedman, however, rejected their opinions, saying that what he did was harmless since no one in the world has the photo of Jesus Christ

He expressed that if anyone can give him Jesus Christ’s photo he would willingly accept whatever objections they have.

People all over the world respect their separate beliefs in different ways, this controversy maybe one of the reasons why Muslims don’t use people to portray Prophet Muhammad in movies or paintings.

Do you also think Ruggedman was wrong to use a photo of an actor portraying Jesus Christ as way to thank God?
