Kanye West isn’t exactly punctual when it comes to album release dates. His ninth studio album Jesus Is King was expected to arrive on Friday (September 27), but the magical hour of midnight came and went without the release.
On Saturday (September 28), ‘Ye’s wife Kim Kardashian revealed it would instead be delivered on Sunday (September 29). Once again, it never materialized.
According to TMZ, the album is finished but every time Kanye revisits the project, he finds something he wants to change — hence the delay.
The eccentric artist held a listening party in Queens over the weekend where he played the album in its entirety. Someone recorded the event and put it on YouTube for all to hear. Despite several attempts at scrubbing it from the internet, it keeps popping up.
Jesus Is King does not have an official release date at this time. It’s purely up to Kanye when it’s unleashed to the public.

Fans weren’t surprised when Kanye West’s ninth studio album, Jesus Is King, failed to arrive on Friday (September 27). But according to reality television queen and ‘Ye’s wife Kim Kardashian, they won’t have to wait too much longer.
As part of her recent Instagram Stories, Kardashian said the project will drop on Sunday (September 29).
“Kanye’s doing a listening session in Chicago tomorrow, then NYC Sunday,” she wrorte. “He’s dropping the album Sunday. Just a few final tweaks to the mixes.”
This is truly par for the course at this point. Kanye consistently misses release dates or seemingly abandons projects altogether.
As in the case of Yandhi, the G.O.O.D. Music boss promised it would arrive last September but after multiple delays, it appeared to be scrapped. Then, Jesus Is King looked to be resurrected in its place, although ‘Ye’s legal team reportedly filed reconsideration paperwork to trademark the word earlier this month.
During a recent interview with ‘Ye’s longtime collaborator Consequence, he told HipHopDX, “With Kanye, it always runs down to the wire,” which has proven to be true over and over again.
Kanye has been in Detroit this weekend hosting an album listening event called Jesus Is King: A Kanye West Experience at Motor City’s Fox Theatre.
Kim using Kanye’s unstableness to promote candles?
Please Stop… Nobody asked for this
Especially after Ye has been in there too. Real Talk On Bronson
I long ago lost interest in this guys music. Considering the album title. I wonder if any of the tracks will include the Pedo/ sex offenders he has recorded with…
So is Jesus coming back or not?
Thats all I want to know.
better clean up our lives just incase… and on a side note, fuck all religion.
Here here!
If you need the likes of kim kardashian to promote your shitty album, don’t call yourself an artist and you certainly don’t deserve to be taken seriously.
And if you decide to spend the rest if your life with a glorified porn star and feel that slavery was a choice, dont call yourself a human being.
‘slavery was a choice’. Keep taking 4 words he said out of context like a good little sjw leftist… Fkn idiot.
Tell us what he meant by it please. Nothing about “SJW” or “leftist” bullshit. Just want some clarification is all.
He already clarified it. Watch the interview. Teach yourself. Use google. It’s your friend.
That’s not a clarification. It is horse shit. He keeps taking controversial views on very painful subjects to sell records. That’s fucked up and shady.
Please provide clarification of what he meant when he said:
“When you hear about slavery for 400 years,” he said. “For 400 years? That sounds like a choice. You was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all?!”
Google the history of Capoeira in Brazil. A literal historical definition of how Slaves have chosen not to be slaves any more.
Please provide clarification of what he meant when he said: “When you hear about slavery for 400 years,” he said. “For 400 years? That sounds like a choice. You was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all?!”
or right get this one! her platform on the internet is the biggest in the world. people are fucking retarded
Bro, it’s his wife lol. It’s not like he’s using her to promote his music… He made $150 million last year… I don’t think he’s having issues with popularity among his product lines.
Kanye West, better get real, about Our Lord, and savior Jesus Christ. He could lead a lot of people to salvation.
I agree with you 100% I truly hope that he indeed is serious about wanting to lead people to Christ instead of some marketing scheme or publicity. I will listen to it to see, but if he’s making a mockery of Jesus I will cut it off immediately
This narcissist is going to lead us to Jesus? This husband of Kim Kardashian, this mocker of slavery? Ask yourselves, is this the kind of man Jesus would want spreading his message?
I don’t think Jesus would mind if someone like Kanye spreads the word. Why does that matter?
Kanye, is an agent of Satan, remember when Kanye, said he sold his soul to the Devil? Kanye, is decieved, and he is decieving people. God, is not mocked for whatsoever you show you shall also reap Kanye. Jesus Christ, want to save you, he bought you with his own precious blood. Repent, and tell God you are sorry. Ask Jesus Christ, to come into your heart to save you from all your sins. Shame the Devil, and break his contract.
I’d eat ice cream out of Kim’s butthole. Sprinkles and everything.
.talking with No Malice instead of Push..
Only buying this album if it comes with unreleased footage of Kim and Ray J.
Sorry, wrong reply.
Trump should have Melania handle his social media too. What a couple of cucks!
Tease another album but we don’t give NO fucks.
There’s a huge difference between bowing to Clinton and putting on the MAGA hat, like, you can literally do neither of you chose.
this shit ain’t coming unless its repackage as a double album with dr dre detox tracks ..
He’s only making a gospel album to win Black people back. He knows he fucked and every Black person with common sense disowned his dumb ass.
He literally was the top grossing rap artist of 2018 lmao. Your logic is that his music and items have lost popularity… And you actually think black people want gospel? I don’t think so myself. When I’m in the hood, I don’t here gospel. I hear Nicki, Cardi B, trap rap, and other garbage… The older guys play Tupac and DMX n shit, but the younger ones don’t. Wether you like Kanye or not, he’s very popular currently, his music is liked, and his priduct lines are huge, second to Nike for profits. It’s fine for u to bit like Ye, but the numbers for his last album speak for themselves. Singles went platinum quickly, hundreds of millions of streams.,
And Drizzy Drake beat Kanye and all his 7-track albums in sales and certifications. Scorpion was the top selling hip hop album of 2018 and he’s still beating Kanye this year. Since you stan for Kanye, you probably stan for fake drug dealer Pusha T too. Just face it, Kanye isn’t as popular as he once was.
Sales/streams doesnt equal good or cash
You sound delusional, keep wishing and keep praying for kanye cause its a wrap for him
Kanye could keep that bs, nobody wants that trash out
Keepin an open mind about this album. Idk what it’s gonna sound like but if it’s comin from the same place Jesus walks did its gon be good. If it’s too gospel it won’t be for me. Like ye or not we know what he’s capable of.
