Kenyan Pastor James Ng'ang'a has been making headlines for months, and his antics have finally caught the attention of international celebrities.
On Sunday night, American rapper Snoop Dogg shared a video of Pastor Ng'ang'a slapping a young boy on the head in a bid to exorcise him, captioning it 'When u late on the offering money. The. Rev need his??????? (Money)'. He later deleted the post.
The video has been doing rounds on social media in Kenya, with many people expressing shock and disgust at the pastor's behavior.
But Pastor Ng'ang'a has been attracting attention with his church antics for months, with a video of him directing insults to members of his church's clergy going viral earlier this year.
According to Ng'ang'a, the Clergy in his church were disrespecting his wife, which angered him.
Ever since that video, the Neno Evangelism preacher has been an online sensation, delivering different antics to netizens after every of his church services.
And it's not just his church antics that have gotten him into trouble - last week, the Communication Authority of Kenya (CA) confirmed that it had fined Ng'ang'a Ksh1 million for exposing a woman's breasts during one of his church services.
CA's communication officer Chimbiru Gimode said on Friday that the authority relied on sections of the Kenya Information and Communications Act of the Kenya Broadcasting Regulations to pass the verdict.
The pastor had allegedly ignored an earlier warning against indecent exposure of obscenities on his Sasa TV channel during the stipulated 5 am – 10 pm watershed period.
