LaRussell is reportedly selling “We All Heaven Sent” merchandise on the website Good Compenny in response to the backlash he received for his song Heaven Sent, where he name-checked Jeffrey Epstein, Martin Luther King Jr., Adolf Hitler, and Malcom X. For those uninformed, Vallejo rapper LaRussell was severely criticized for his song, where he rapped that all the above mentioned men were “heaven sent.”

The outrage began after the rapper posted a live performance of the song on his X account on March 14, 2026. The video soon racked up millions of views and thousands of comments, most of which condemned the lyrics for comparing convicted sex offenders and dictators to civil rights activists.

“I ain’t perfect and neither is the president /What’s guiltier than a n***a hiding evidence/ Can’t be upset when they heated if you don’t let them vent/ Even the devil was heaven sent/ Even Kanye was heaven sent/ Even Hitler was heaven sent/ Even Martin was heaven sent/ We all heaven sent, Donald too/ We all heaven sent, Epstein too/We all heaven sent, Malcolm too/We all heaven sent,” LaRussell rapped in the song.

The rapper did not bow down in the face of backlash and instead doubled down on his lyrics, posting multiple statements to defend himself. However, he soon deactivated his social media accounts and disappeared from the grid, till he reportedly released a t-shirt advertising the song on his website.

The limited edition merchandise was a “Shakawear tshirt with screen print x puff print combo,” which will be shipped by the end of March or the beginning of April.

LaRussell’s engineer warned him not to release Heaven Sent

In the clip posted on March 14, LaRussell is seen addressing the crowd before his live performance of Heaven Sent, saying that his engineer warned him not to release the song, possibly due to its controversial lyrics. The rapper said that was exactly why he needed to release the track, adding that “the goal of an artist is to express the times and say all the things that nobody else want to say or know how to say.”

“I made this record and I sent it off to my engineer and he calls me, he says ‘Man, you probably shouldn’t put this out.’ That’s exactly why we need it, ‘cause everybody sit and be silent and the goal of an artist is to express the times and say all the things that nobody else want to say or know how to say,” he said.

The clip was met with immense outcry on social media. However, LaRussell doubled down and posted multiple X posts defending the track. In one X post, he claimed the song’s theme was to bring to light that everyone was heaven sent, irrespective of their actions, and that “every human was made by God,” including the “evil ones.”

In another X post, he firmly wrote that he said everyone was “heaven sent” and not “heaven bound.” According to the San Francisco Chronicle, LaRussell posted a five-minute video defending the song and himself on March 17, saying:

“When the world be in despair, sometimes you need realization. That realization for me through this song was ‘Damn, the same God who created Martin Luther King and Malcom X, who did so many great things, is the same God that created Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, who did so many evil things. It’s crazy the range of what a human life is capable of … That’s the purpose of this song… If you want to know where I stand, go look at my life. Go listen to my music. Go see what I do in my community.”

On March 19, he uploaded another lengthy X post defending himself, pointing out the supposed hypocrisy of people for their “selective outrage and fake righteousness.” Calling it his “final statement” about the issue, LaRussell wrote:

“This is my final statement on this bulls**t. The selective outrage and fake righteousness is a joke. It’s always been US. Y’all been complicit in supporting serial killers, murderers, drug dealers, pimps, and n***as destroying the community for yeeeeaaaars!!!! But me saying God made me and he also made these sick ass n***as is where the line is? CUT IT OUT. If you gone be outraged, be outraged about it all!”

LaRussell added:

“TURN THE MURDER MUSIC OFF AND EVERY OTHER DETRIMENTAL FORM OF ART YOU CONSUME! IM ONE OF THE FEW N***AS IN THIS S**T SMILING AND PUTTING GOOD INTO THE ECO SYSTEM! IMA KEEP SAYING AND DOING WHAT I WANT WITH MY ART BECAUSE IMA F**KIN ARTIST! Y’ALL CAN KEEP BEING FAKE OUTRAGED AND COMPLICIT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE,” he added.

LaRussell has since deactivated his social media accounts. Heaven Sent was released on February 20, 2026, as part of the rapper’s album Father God, Guide Me.
