HE CHECKED HIM! Jonathan Majors Shuts Down NLE Choppa’s ‘Jesus Is My Brother’ Theory With A Question: ‘Have You Read The Bible? Read It Again’!

 

The latest episode of the “Den of Kings” dinner series took an unexpected turn when rapper NLE Choppa and actor Jonathan Majors found themselves in a heated exchange over a sensitive topic: the divinity of Jesus Christ.

The conversation began as the group—comprised of various influential Black men from the worlds of entertainment, music, and activism—discussed spirituality, faith, and the role of religion in their personal journeys. When it was Choppa’s turn to speak, he shared a viewpoint that immediately stirred the room.

“Jesus is like our brother,” Choppa said, leaning forward at the candlelit table. “I just feel like he shouldn’t be praised over God. God is the creator. Jesus walked this Earth as a man. He should be respected—but not worshipped like the Most High.”

Before he could finish expanding on his point, Jonathan Majors, seated just a few places away, interjected firmly: “Have you read the Bible?”

The tension in the room spiked, with several heads turning as the moment grew more intense.

Choppa, appearing a bit taken aback but still composed, replied, “Yes, I have.”

Without missing a beat, Majors countered: “I would say read it again.”

The air got heavy. For a moment, no one spoke. The comment hung there, not just as a critique but almost as a challenge—a call to deeper reflection or perhaps a defense of Christian orthodoxy.

Some viewers saw the moment as a necessary check on theological misinformation, especially in a setting meant to uplift truth and integrity. Others felt Majors’ interruption came off as dismissive, shutting down what could have been a nuanced and important dialogue on differing perspectives of faith within the Black community.

The clip, now circulating widely on social media, has sparked conversations around respect, spiritual hierarchy, and the roles Jesus and God play in individual interpretations of Christianity.

While both men clearly spoke from passionate convictions, the exchange underscores the deep diversity of thought that exists even among those who identify with the same faith tradition. For some, Jesus is the Son of God, equal in divinity with the Father and the Holy Spirit. For others, like NLE Choppa, Jesus is a revered teacher or prophet—but not to be worshipped above God Himself.

As the Den of Kings series continues, one thing is clear: the dinner table remains one of the most powerful places for vulnerable—and sometimes uncomfortable—conversations to take place.
