Lamayne expressed gratitude for her spiritual mentors, family, friends, and even strangers who supported her through personal struggles, emphasizing resilience, self-forgiveness, and purpose as guiding forces post-baptism.
“Through the adversities, forgiving oneself and starting all over, there was another in the fire standing next to me!”

In the eyes of his peers and fans, the rapper’s journey is emblematic of a growing trend among artists using their platforms to explore and express faith, showing that behind the lyrics and beats, there’s space for reflection, redemption, and growth.
Stogie T’s baptism, alongside his son, serves as a poignant reminder that faith can be both deeply personal and generationally transformative. In an industry often consumed by image and competition, these moments of spiritual clarity resonate with audiences, reminding us that some of life’s most profound milestones occur off stage, in quiet acts of devotion and family unity.
