Rapper Mase Once Preacher Seeks Prayer As He Re-Enters Hip Hop Industry

Rapper Mase retired from the hip hop industry 13 years ago to preach the gospel and eased his way back.
Also known as Mason Betha, the 34 year old shared on a TBN interview that some were worried about him going back to rap, afraid his commitment to the church would waiver.
“Why is it Christians are more confident in the Devil taking me more than Christ keeping me,” Betha questions. “What I have inside of me is more powerful than anything the world could ever offer me.”
Instead of going the entrepreneurial route, Mase went Christian and opened up El Elyon International Church and Mason Betha Ministries in Atlanta.
He also stated:

“I didn’t give myself any room to grow, I went from one extreme to another extreme, I was just so gung ho about what I was learning, that’s all I wanted.

Pastor Mason Betha Returns to Rap Music and Regrets the Transition of Becoming a Pastor: Does Religious Influence from Other Pastors Taint A Person’s Good Will to do for God?

Mason Betha, a multi-platinum selling rapper from the late 1990s who retired from the industry 13 years ago to become a pastor, is returning to the hip-hop scene once again.
In a new remix to rapper Wale’s song, “Slight Work,” Betha uses a plethora of religious themes as metaphors in his rhyme.
“..Getting money like I’m jewish/…got a cult following of bad broads like i’m Buddhist,” Betha rapped. ” ..Think your (crew is staying foolish) if your crew don’t have a Judas/ Get you wetter than a venue… howling like a Hindu.”

Betha asked Hip-Hop radio DJ Funkmaster Flex for help with a comeback in a radio interview last month where he spoke about his initial choice to leave the rap industry alone to honor God as a preacher.
