Lil Wayne x Adult Swim. After hearing of all the internet rumors about Lil Wayne playing Jesus Christ in T-Pain’s upcoming Adult Swim cartoon special, the network decided to set the record straight. It is confirmed that Lil Wayne WILL be playing Jesus…just not necessarily Jesus Christ.

A spokesperson for Adult Swim says that the rapper’s character in a one-hour cartoon special with the working title “Return of Freaknik” is not Jesus Christ per se, but just a guy named Jesus.Lil Wayne’s character is still evolving. All we can say is that he is named Jesus and not Jesus Christ.

The cartoon, which is being produced by fellow music maker T-Pain, is about a group of up-and-coming rappers who travel to Atlanta for a battle of the bands contest.

So there you have it. Nice way to avoid some controversy. So either Lil Wayne is going to be portrayed as the Son of God or a Hispanic dude. More to come. Via: Bossip
