Apple Music’s Zane Lowe recently headed to the barren landscape of Wyoming to sit down with Kanye West, who recently purchased a massive $14 million property called The Monster Lake Ranch near the town of Cody.
During their conversation, ‘Ye opened up about his faith and the moment realized he’d found Jesus.
“Now that I’m in service to Christ, my job is to spread the gospel, to let people know what Jesus has done for me,” he says in the clip. “I’ve spread a lot of things. There was a time I was letting you know what high fashion had done for me, I was letting you know what the Hennessey had done for me, but now I’m letting you know what Jesus has done for me, and in that I’m no longer a slave, I’m a son now, a son of God. I’m free.”
As ‘Ye continued, he reflected on his hospital stay. In November 2016, Kanye was admitted for psychiatric observation at UCLA Medical Center and stayed hospitalized over the Thanksgiving weekend because of a temporary psychosis stemming from sleep deprivation and extreme dehydration.
As a result, he took an 11-month break from the public.
“The most space that I had to think is when I went to the hospital,” he explains. “One of the things that happened when I went to the hospital is I started reading the Bible and I started writing and copying out Bible verses and a person came to my house that wasn’t a Christian and told me come over, and 30 minutes later I was in handcuffs headed to the hospital.
“Now this person very well may have saved my life because when you’re in an episode you could jump off the side of a balcony you can stab your eye out you can do a lot of things when you’re ramped up like that, but one of the things that people do now is they try to discriminate against my mind and my thoughts because of that moment.”
Kanye’s new album, the aptly titled Jesus Is King, is expected to arrive on Friday (October 25). Since finding Jesus, he’s reportedly denounced secular music forever and will apparently focus on spreading the gospel.
*Rolls eyes*
The GOAT
All a ploy.
I don’t think so. His other work was already going platinum, I think he had some demons, such as drug addiction and mental issues, so he turned to God to help repair himself/give his life some positive structure. I don’t see why people need to mock this turn. A lot of people who have drug addictions and such turn to God to help. Kind of what DMX does too. I’m not religious, but I do think it’s good for some people to seek that guidance. I’d rather see a rapper repping God than reooing Satan, as many rappers openly do. As far as the music goes though, who knows what it’ll be. I’m not a fan of gospel, I like hiphop, but with Kanye I’m always hit or miss. I like maybe 50% of his music.
Hes profiting off of the Lord. Just stop it bruh. Selling church socks for 125$..see right through his crap.
Everyone who preaches profits off of the lord. The pope, every single church on earth… It’s not his fault if your stupid enough to spend $125 on socks lol. Shit, if your someone who buys any overpriced fashion items, such as Beats By Dre, then your likely a dbag, and care more about fashion than function of your purchased items.
Hypochristian… maybe lol
Pretenders selling religion to rubes is nothing new. No worse than the people who buy into it.
People will hate on the dude turning to God to help him, but when a rapper supports Satanism, drug abuse, gang banging, fucking hoes, ect, it’s not news, it’s normal. I mean, Kanye did blow up from that song “Jesus Walks”, right? So he’s always been a bit into religion I guess. Kanye is one crazy guy, and thats what makes Kanye… Kanye haha.
Matthew 6:1-2 Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people in order to be noticed by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So whenever you give to the poor, don’t blow a trumpet before you like the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they will be praised by people. I tell all of you with certainty, they have their full reward!
I noticed that verse after all Yé’s bragging about his overt religiousness and him donating on Kim’s birthday. Anyway, all rappers are full of shit. Kanye’s righteousness is no exception.
Nigga, how many fucking comments u gonna leave here? Nvm, I apologize Ahmad, as I don’t wanna be terrorist attacked by you! Please don’t kill us!
The Devil in the Church Like The Devil in the White House
This has nothing to do with politics. Keep America Great and make Kanye great again. #MAGA2020
Yeah, the devil is the guy that the 1% media, Hollywood, Rothchilds, Rockefeller, Soros, and all living past presidents hate. It couldn’t possibly be that any of those people I mentioned are evil, could it?!?….. Sheep are gonna sheep!
I’m over this dude. I used to love Kanye. Kardashians ate his soul.
This guys full of shit using gods name to sale gods doesn’t preach arrogance and self acknowledgment

Who the hell gloats about another man’s money? WTF?!
Tons of people do. You listen to hiphop? Ppl gloat about money, and others money all day. How many rappers can u name that rapped about Bill gates? I can name 10 off the top of my head. Nigga, ure so butthurt, posting all over this shit. Just an FYI, your comments and attention further enrich kanye. If u don’t like soemthin or someone, gossiping for them just builds them up more.
All religion is make-believe.
That’s the only fact when it comes to religion.
Just another day in the life of this troll. I’m taking bets this lasts no more than a few months.
