Christian rapper DC3 has released a new music video responding to the controversy surrounding his recent BBC News appearance.
The 18-year-old, whose real name is Daniel Chenjerai, released his newest track titled DID YOU SEE? which features footage from his now-viral interview with BBC presenter Geeta Guru-Murthy.
The video opens with the statement: “The revolution will be televised.”
In the song, the young artist directly references the moment which sparked a social media storm, rapping: “Young me would get mad ’cause TV took the Lord’s name in vain. Checkmate, guess now I’ve won.”

The lyrics serve as a defiant affirmation of his Christian faith and his decision to publicly name Jesus Christ as his greatest hero during the live broadcast.
During the live BBC News interview, Ms Guru-Murthy asked the musician to name his heroes.
The rapper listed Santan Dave and Kendrick Lamar before adding “most of all Jesus Christ”.
Immediately after his answer, the presenter appeared to take a sharp intake of breath, a moment that quickly went viral and was interpreted by some viewers as a disapproving reaction to his religious declaration.

Social media users accused Guru-Murthy of “hissing” at the mention of Christ, with several alleging the broadcaster displayed anti-Christian bias.
“What was her big intake of breath for?” one viewer wrote. Another commented: “I’m not religious, but why did she suck air through her teeth when he said Jesus Christ?”
The clip rapidly spread online, with many praising the Northampton-based artist for openly expressing his faith on national television.
Ms Guru-Murthy swiftly addressed the criticism, sharing the full interview clip and issuing a statement on social media.
“For the record, I was simply breathing in before moving to end the interview. To suggest anything else is just untrue,” she wrote, firmly rejecting any negative intent.
A BBC source echoed the explanation, while a spokesman told MailOnline: “This story is categorically untrue.”
The incident marked the latest occasion in which the presenter has faced scrutiny over her on-air conduct.
In 2024, she apologised after breaching BBC impartiality guidelines by describing Nigel Farage’s language as “customary inflammatory” during coverage of a Reform UK event.
DC3 later shared a clip of the interview on social media with the caption “JESUS CHRIST ON BBC NEWS”, which has since amassed more than 2.4 million views on X.
Following the broadcast, he wrote: “Jesus is Lord. God is good and thank you all for the love,” prompting an outpouring of support from fans.
Mr Chenjerai, who hails from Northampton, has built a substantial online following, boasting more than one million Instagram followers.
His tracks include I Know, No Disrespect and DC3’s Prayer.

“Consistent in Christ,” one follower wrote, while another added: “Literally can’t get enough of your work — you’re so talented, it’s crazy.”
“AMEN,” a third commented, as a fourth joked: “From reporter hiss to this, DC3 ain’t gonna miss.”
