Mason Betha Ministry Sighting: Is Pastor Mase Preaching Again?
When Mase came back to hip-hop I wasn’t upset about his decision. Can you fault a man for trying to make a living? If the church wasn’t doing it for him, why not come back to music with a new mature sound? Although he explained his return as wanting to ‘undo the damage’ he had done in his shiny suit days, I think know it was for the money.
How he would be able to make that work was the real question. Big brand hip-hop demands that you play in Satan’s playground, you know, as Mase would describe it.
His first step at ‘undoing’ was a little awkward. In the video for “Welcome Back” he flashed that Bad Boy smile, the I’m back on the block look, you realized he wasn’t that young 20-something rapper he used to be though, and he couldn’t rhyme about all the things he had denounced, so he got a pass for trying to steer clear of diving right into the temptations and subjects that drove him out of music in the first place.
Then “Welcome Back” tanked.
Mase threw his pastor suit in the gutter, lit it on fire, abandoning all attempts at making ‘undo’ music and tried to make a deal with 50 Cent; literally shaking hands with the devil. Memorably, Mase was on a mixtape while 50 and the then tight G-Unit are popping guns, talking shit, and laughing about murdering wanks. The reformed rapper turned preacher turned preacher-rapper in a fitted is riding along in this bullet-ridden car; the hypcocrisy was so obvious and wrong it became the talk of the streets.
50 was excited about making a cinematic album where Mase takes it from the street to the pulpit and have it veer off in all kinds of unholy directions. Mase was excited too.
The only thing that stopped the album’s creation was Diddy realizing something big could happen with this twisted preacher thing. He waved Mase’s contract in the air wanting his share of any potential success, which drove 50 crazy. What did the Lox call Diddy again?.. Oh, the paper gangster. Like Diddy would say, it’s just business.
After a bunch of frustrating discussions where 50 discovered how ‘gangster’ Diddy could be, 50 decided he didn’t want to make the album anymore.
So where did that leave Mase?
It looks like it’s back to the church.
Here is the good pastor (introduced by his wife) delivering a sermon ‘recently.’
I’m quoting recent because I’m not sure when this clip was recorded. As you’ll see RealTalkNY posted it but there’s no indication of when they grabbed it. Mason Betha Ministries looks to be updated though. There is a broadcast schedule that says his sermons are shown Mon-Fri on everything from Time Warner Cable to DirectTV and Dish Network.
I’ll have to check if it’s live tomorrow morning.
How anyone can take him serious after leaving the church and knocking on Hell’s gates is a mystery, guess they fell for that undoing line.
I’ll tell you one thing if he wasn’t Mase he’d be Creflo Dollar Jr.
What does Creflo Dollar have to do with this let Mace stand for himself.
Well I say, hang dat nigga! I got the rope right here. It ain’t no sense in the black man talkin by Beautiful White Jesus. Niggas ain’t never thought about the Angelic White God until we were taken outa the jungle and given civility by our very considerate white Masters.Praise White Jesus!!!

love the uncle ruckus quote...right on!!
I will just pray for you and all your love ones who have been dealing with your built up uncontrollable hate. It is obvious you are unhappy and full of disappointment. Open your heart and let God in. “All things are possible through God who strengthens me”. I am not a nigger, but I am African America. Misery loves company, and he won’t get any from me or my love one. Stef as the sayin go,” a person who stands for nothing, will fall for anything. I can tell you are trying to find you place in life, the only place to be is in God’s favor. The path to him is through repentance and asking your Lord and Savior to not only be a part of your life, but to guide your path. You need to be submissive to God and his will. You will feel 100% happier and content with your life.

who are we to judge another the bible says turn the other cheek .all i can say is keep preaching in gods name and it will be alright with me.
The bible says he who is with outsin cast the first stone. God new that we as man was born with a sinful nature thank God his son died for us.
I’ve been a member of this church for a/b 4 years...our church never closed...God bless.
gOOD pASTOR !
Mase had the heart and the understanding that he had to submit and return to God’s word.He realizes it is better to store his treasures in heaven than on earth.Good example Mase.
HELLO I AM FROM KAMPALA UGANDA. many young people look up to mase how he has changed his life. He should do soe thing like a hit with T-Bone.
I am gospel hip-hop artist as well but many christian out here don``t appreciate that this is a way of changing some young souls. I need videos of mase`s life to carry them to our youth programs to show young people how they can turn from being addicted to circular hip hop. We beat the devil by our testimonies.Any concerned please mail me at lukaden@yahoo.com
christian entertainment forever!!! guys. be blessed
ALL I CAN SAY IS IM GOING THREW IT RIGHT NOW AND I LISTEN TO MASE PREACH WHO KNOWS A MANS HEART? ONLY GOD! WHAT HE SAID MADE ME THINK I FIND AND STUDY FOR MY SELF GODS WORD THEN I COMPARE IT TO THE PREACHER WE SHOULD ALL TAKE TIME TO LEARN THINGS ON OUR THEN MAYBE WE WOULDNT BE SO MISGUIDED AND HARD ON OUR PREACHERS.
I would love to jump all over this and judge mase but the truth is i have no right to judge. I was let down when mase fell away again and started doing secular. But again I fall myself all the time and am in need of Gods grace and his blood and body through communion. My prayers are for Mase and I love him. He is still an inspiration to me and I pray God will continue to give him the grace he needs in his life.
Creflo Jr.? HAHAHAHAHA! Word up...dude is from Harlem and now all of a sudden he sounds like some southern church yahoo? Damn Mr. Dollar. How da hell did you so successfully brainwash this dude? MK Ultra Remix? Did y’all put the LSD in the Holy Water or in the “lean”? Ghostface, thanks for attempting to “retire” this dripping of wack juice coward…
How can anyone be sure if Mr. Betha is being deceptive or whether or not his motive is pure for going into ministry and leaving and then returning. Mr. Betha has alot to learn about the Great Commission. I believe if he really understood then there would be no need to preach anything else but Christ crucified. (Read Galatians 2:20) Then he should ask the Lord to increse the membership (the finanical increase will come) of his ministry. But because he has seen million dollars a few times and has seen the greed involved with those of the rap industry, in particular; he knows how to preach about the deceitfulness of riches but he must keep his motives pure or else he will snare his own soul over riches and by proxy become a servant of the devil (that might be Mr.Betha right now.) As a person who has the utmost respect for the word of God I don’t sense that Mr.Betha walks with the Jesus of the Bible(WE ALL MUST BE CAREFUL WHO WE CONSIDER AS ANOINTED MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD).
You must understand that the devil has no problem with someone like Mr.Betha leaving then returning then leaving the rap game for the ministry because if you understand how the enemy works you would realize that Satan can use a person more brilliantly when his or her lips are close to Jesus but his or her heart is far from Him! I would say pray daily so no one would be abele to decieve you with flattering words and their outer appearance.To me Mr.Betha really needs to cleanse himself by realizing the reality of ACT 26:16-18
Yes, he sounds country just like Creflo, and I understand that Creflo encouraged Mase to go back into rapping. If this is true, could the blood be on Creflo’s hands? They both love money and perhaps that’s their downfall.
