Rapper Mack: God saved me from gun

RAPPER CRAIG MACK joined a controversial South Carolina church out of fear he would kill or be killed, according to an interview filmed shortly before his death.

“I had a gun in my lap and I’m sitting there talking to God, saying like, ‘I don’t want to do this, but if it comes to getting ugly with somebody going to try to kill me, I’m going to have to do something first to prevent that,’ ” Mack said in footage shared with the Daily News.

Mack shot to fame with the platinum 1994 hit “Flava In Ya Ear.”

He walked away from it all in 2011 after he heard self-proclaimed prophet Ralph Gordon Stair preaching on a car radio.

Alvin Toney, Mack’s friend and former producer, recorded the confessions to help the former Bad Boy Entertainment artist tell his life story in an upcoming documentary.

A memorial will be held for Mack on Wednesday at the Faith Baptist Church in Hempstead, L.I.
