After he filmed the mock crucifixion scene for the Nas video Hate Me Now, Combs had second thoughts that the imagery might be considered blasphemous. So as he often does, he consulted his religious adviser, the Rev. Hezekiah Walker of the Pentecostal Love Fellowship Tabernacle in Brooklyn, N.Y., where Combs worships.
