According to a post shared on X by MDN News, the Bakae rapper, who was a guest on L-Tido's podcast, said people must understand that God and ancestors can co-exist. She said:

"There’s God and then there are ancestors, that's lineage stuff and things that we do for that. We don’t pray to ancestors, I still pray to God, I still listen to gospel music. Those worlds can coexist; it's not like you can’t be a God-fearing person and still practice ancestral duties. Those things can coexist."
