King of bling ... Pope in baseball cap with crucifix

THE Pope could almost pass for a RAPPER as he swaps his traditional "zucchetto" headgear for a trendy baseball cap.

Benedict XVI, 83 - known as Il Papa and born German Joseph Ratzinger - was snapped strolling at his Rome summer residence in temperatures topping 30° C (86° F) yesterday.

His giant crucifix looked the ultimate in bling, while his white house robes ensured he was ultra-cool, just like the real rap idols whose names we've "adapted". A big up to the Vatican's Holy Mass-ive.
