If you were to be treated like a god that would be to be treated extremely well.
To be treated like a leper is terrible. Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is a chronic infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. If you are a leper no one wants to be even be near you because it is disgusting and slightly contagious.
Those who appreciate hip hop and recognize his talent/place in hip hop culture treat him as a God. People who are not intimately familiar with his profession and his place in rap culture only see the bummy quality of his appearance/person.

They treat him with the reverence associated with royalty and divinity. Neither of these are maintainable ways to live, so he has to find a middle ground
