Introducing MC Pope Francis

Pope Francis has been on his first tour of Africa, preaching about peace, poverty and the environment.

But one picture has shown the Pope in a new light - as a potential rap star.

When the Pontiff was pictured at a centre for displaced people in Bangui, holding a mic and gesturing with his hand, a meme was born.

South African FKA Logs - aka @WyzeeQue - asked Twitter to provide the Pope with some rap lyrics using the hashtag #PopeBars.

"The creativity and wit on display here is contagious," he told BBC Trending. "Everyday something is new but hilarious and creative."
