Mase, real name Mason Durell Betha, famously retired from hip-hop to pursue a calling from God. He then became an ordained minister as well as enrolled at Clark Atlanta University. He briefly served as pastor at El Elyon International Church in Atlanta.

Over the years he’s straddled between his career as a rapper and life as one of God’s chosen. He said in a video for Gathering Oasis that he’s excited to bring young people back to the church.

“I really see this generation being turned back to God’s hands I think there’s been a major challenge with the city like being able to direct people back to God and I really welcome the challenge,” he said.
