BANGUI, Central African Republic (UPI) -- A photo of Pope Francis speaking in Bangui on his recent tour of Africa caused many social media users to reimagine the religious leader as a rapper.
Pope Francis' posture in the photo, tweeted by Agence France-Presse, drew a resemblance to the body language of a hip-hop performer on stage.
This similarity in stature led many social media users to tweet photos of the pope accompanied by religious themed rap lyrics using the #PopeBars.
The sample ranged from original lyrics to parodies of popular songs from artists such as Jay Z featuring religion-based puns.
