\n\tThe Pope, as it turns out, has definitely got bars. At least in the hands of the writers from The Late Show<\/em>. After a week in which Pope Leo XIV and Donald Trump exchanged barbed comments about each other\u2019s competence and devotion to the word of God, Stephen Colbert and company did what they do best and turned the bizarre papal beef into a Kendrick Lamar parody song, naturally.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the cold open to Thursday night\u2019s (April 16) show, the infamous 2024 battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake that was definitively won with K-Dot\u2019s lacerating, Grammy-winning \u201cNot Like Us\u201d firebomb was given a holy makeover to fit the bizarre back-and-forth between the American president and the first-ever American Pope.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHey, peppers on my beef, yo\/ Leo\/ Here to defend my papacy, bro,\u201d the faux Leo raps in a distinctive Chicago accent over Lamar\u2019s bouncy backing track. \u201cYou got JD\/ I got JC, though\/ You keep Rubio\/ I ride around with the holy trio\/ I\u2019m up in the Vatican\/ You\u2019re still in denial\/ I\u2019m the Holy See\/ You\u2019re the holy senile\/ How many mentions of you in the Epstein files?\/ Certified bestie with that certified pedophile.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe sanctified slams play out over familiar news footage of Trump wildly waving around a soldier\u2019s sword, cavorting at a party with late convicted pedophile Epstein and the AI-generated image that helped set off the war of words this week of Trump as a Jesus-like figure putting healing hands on a sick man.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPope, Pope, Pope, Pope, Pope\/ Lemme do my prayer\/ Pope, Pope, Pope, Pope, Pope\/ Big hat on my hair,\u201d the phony pontiff raps in a staccato fashion. \u201cSeems like it\u2019s past time you retired\/ Called Jesus a doctor\/ And it\u2019s probably Alzheimer\u2019s,\u201d he adds before swapping out the Lamar refrain for a more devout diss: \u201cThey not pious, they not pious.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a rare retreat, the White House took down the image of Trump as Jesus after widespread condemnation from both sides of the aisle in D.C., as well as from many religious leaders and MAGA faithful. But not before Trump doubled-down on lashing out at the Pope and referring to the leader of the world\u2019s more than 1.4 billion Catholics as \u201cweak on crime\u201d and \u201cterrible on foreign policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe attack on Pope Leo, combined with the shocking AI image from Trump, led former altar boy Jack White to question why any Catholic is still supporting the president. \u201cHey evangelical Christians? Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years and how he\u2019d present himself as Christlike and bring about the end of days with a final war in the Middle East involving Jerusalem?,\u201d White wrote alongside a repost of the image. \u201cWell\u2026check out your boy now! Listen, if the felonies, epstein files, rapes, bombing of schoolchildren, gestapo ICE agents attacking his own citizens, threatening to invade Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran all didn\u2019t convince you that you fell for this deranged grifter, maybe this lil\u2019 post will?\u201d<\/p>\n
