Capital T has been criticized by people, including his fans, for the fact that in the music video for the latest song, "Smile", he has removed the cross in St. Stephen's Cathedral.
The clip of the song "Smile" was shot in the city of Shkodra and includes some scenes with the cathedral in the background, where people noticed that the cross has been removed. For comparison:

"What does it mean that you removed the cross from the largest cathedral in Shkodra?", "It does not matter if I am a Christian or not, but it seems very low as a gesture" are some of the many comments on YouTube. Fans of the rapper also look disappointed.
“Ke qenë një nga këngëtarët e mi të preferuar dhe kam disa vite që i dëgjoj këngët e tua. Këtë herë më ke zhgënjyer. Jo se jam ndonjë besimtar shumë i madh, por të paktën e kam kaq integritet sa të respektoj simbolet fetare. Ajo fshirje e kryqit tregon mungesë respekti, prapambetje dhe mbi të gjitha nuk ke respektuar qytetin i cili të ka mirëpritur për të bërë këtë video. Të gjithë e dinë që ajo katedrale është simbol i Shkodrës dhe ti praktikisht ke pështyrë dhe ke ulur mikpritjen,” shkruan dikush tjetër.
Pas komenteve, reperi reagoi në Instagram. Fillimisht Capitali publikoi një moment nga klipi i këngës “Hitman”, publikuar pesë vite më parë dhe të xhiruar brenda katedrales.
"If I had an attitude, I would have held it. I am not one of those who withdraw, but I have been a promoter of cities and religious sites, beaches and natural beauties in all of Albania and I am really one of the first to shoot in churches, but mistakes happen. I am not a cameraman or an editor and the truth is that I have no hand in this production mistake and we are doing everything to replace it. He wrote.
He further adds:
"How can he stop me in the clip, but not in my personal Instagram. Where is the logic here? Get your brain up and running. ”
