"Clipse continued their momentous comeback run on Saturday, September 13th, becoming the first rap act to perform at the Vatican City. The Voices of Fire Choir backed Clipse as Pusha T and Malice performed the most church-friendly song from their catalog: "The Birds Don't Sing." With featured artist John Legend on hand, the brothers Thornton bared their souls about the tragic losses of their parents to a massive crowd of over 253,000 people in St. Peter's Square."
"It was all part of "Grace for the World," a concert co-directed by Clipse's longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams. The event celebrated the 2025 Jubilee and closed out the third annual World Meeting on Human Fraternity. At one point during the evening, Williams shared a message of unity: "In this historic moment, I ask you to choose grace. Choose curiosity. Choose them until they become contagious. Together, we will flood the world with light and love.""
