Disney is showing the Christian music scene some love as it chose the song "Nuthin" by Reach Records rapper Lecrae in their upcoming Disney Channel original movie called Bad Hair Day.
The song was first heard in the film's official trailer, featuring a woman yelling at a group of teenage boys for blasting a song loudly in their car. The boys then see a young girl sitting in the passenger seat of the yelling woman's car and she says an embarrassed hello to all them.
The movie is expected to make its premiere on February 13, Friday at 8pm ET.
Choosing "Nuthin" for the movie Bad Hair Day is nice surprise after Disney received flak last year after being accused of blocking a North Carolina girl named Lily for thanking God on the Disney website.
The news was reported by FOX, who said that Lily was browsing through the Disney Channel website when saw them ask viewers what they were thankful for. She immediately typed in, "God, my family, my church and my friends."
She pressed enter but her message did not appear on the website. Instead, only a message written in red saying "Please be nice!" popped out. Lily tried sending her message again but to no avail.
When her parents tried to enter the post for her, they tried to remove "God" in the message and sure enough, the Disney website accepted it.
"We together figured out that the word God was the problem," the girl's mother Julie said.
After FOX reported the news, Disney responded saying that they were merely trying to censor words of profanity, which unfortunately some involves "God."
"Disney employs word filtering technology to prevent profanity from appearing on our websites. Unfortunately, because so many people attempt to abuse the system and use the word 'God' in conjunction with profanity, in an abundance of caution our system is forced to catch and prevent any use of the word on our websites. The company would have been happy to explain our filtering technology to the inquiring family had they contacted us," it said in a statement.
