Vince Staples goes to Twitter about his religious questions.

Vince Staples has been asked on numerous occasions when he'd jump into the comedy game. He is undoubtedly one of the funniest rappers in the game and if the rap shit died down, it doesn't seem unlikely that he'd go in the Joe Budden lane and launch a podcast. Earlier today, the rapper jumped on Twitter to ask some questions about religion including Jesus' appearance.

Vince Staples hopped on Twitter to dive into a few questions pertaining to religion. Off the top, he asked his followers if they think that Jesus looked like two of XO's mainstays.

"I was just thinking to myself which one y’all think Jesus look more like Nav or Belly?" He wrote. After receiving an overwhelming response from his fans that Jesus looked like J. Cole, Vince replied, "I see a lot of you saying he would’ve looked like Cole but I don’t really think it was many biracials around back then." He added, "Y’all laughing but I’m serious stay focused. I always envisioned Jesus looking like Aziz Ansari."

Despite the humorous take on Jesus, Vince Staples did open up a healthy conversation surrounding religion. He applauded his followers for keeping it civil in the mentions after calling out the History Channel for sleeping on the knowledge of him and his loyal following.
