Is Jay Z Anti-Catholic?

The video sees the couple and their daughter Blue Ivy in a church

Jay-Z and Beyonce‘s video for ‘Family Feud’ has sparked outrage from the Catholic League, with the organisation branding it ‘exploitative’.

The video for Jay-Z’s song – which is taken from the Brooklyn rapper’s thirteenth studio album ‘4:44’ and features guest vocals from Beyoncé – premiered on Tidal last month (December 29).

The nearly 8-minute long video sees Jay-Z take his daughter Blue Ivy Carter into a church where he confesses his sins to Beyoncé.

The Catholic League, who are not officially connected to the Catholic church, have now released a statement from its president Bill Donohue, condemning the rapper’s latest visuals.

“Jay-Z’s recently released “Family Feud” video shows him walking into a Catholic church with his real-life daughter, rapping away—”Nobody wins when the family feuds”—as he struts,” Donohue writes. “This is followed by a flashback scene where he is shown kissing a gal in her undergarments. Then Beyoncé appears, standing at the pulpit, wearing a navy blue outfit dressed like a queen. She is a priestess: she hears Jay-Z’s confession, apparently a statement on his real-life infidelities.

“Is it anti-Catholic? No, it is not a bigoted assault,” he adds. “Indeed, it pales next to Jay-Z’s relentlessly racist (and anti-black) lyrics. But it is we would expect from this genius couple.”
