Kanye West has a long list of people he’s got problems with, which now includes none other than Jesus Christ himself.
Yeezy and Ty Dolla $ign stopped by Big Boy TV to discuss all things Vultures on Friday (March 15), though the interview took a turn when the radio personality asked Kanye about his current relationship with Christianity.
Big Boy began by asking West about his current religious feelings, and West was more than happy to explain his outlook.
He began: “I have my issues with Jesus. There’s a lot of stuff I went through, that I prayed, and I ain’t see Jesus show up … I had to put my experience in this world, my experience with my children, my experience with other people, my experience with my account, my experience with my brand, and my experience with the level of music that I was dealing with in my own hands.
As is often the case with Kanye, his answer moved in multiple directions, touching on racism, gentrification and more.
He added: “A lot of times I feel like in our society, in America, people, Christians, we depend on Jesus so much that we won’t put in the work ourselves. The main thing I don’t rock with is like, ‘I’m gonna pray for you.’ It’s just like, you can actually physically do something yourself, too, more than just praying.
“We’re so in this mentality that that’s all that needs to happen, but we ain’t praying our way out of prison, we ain’t paying our way out of the abortion clinics, we ain’t praying our way to get our land back that was always ours after gentrification, after the Harlem Renaissance and Black Wall Street was burnt to the ground. Them prayers ain’t working.”
West got dangerously close to referencing his anti-semitic scandal, but quickly reversed course.
He concluded: “We’ll have to apply actual, physical building partnerships … It don’t start unless we can really be real with each other and say: ‘This is what I did, this is what I did.’ I’m not gonna third rail our interview, but look at the power of what happened when me and Kyrie was on the same page. That’s what’s scary. But that’s what they put us each in a silo and say: ‘Your grandma gonna lose her crib.’
“You know how many threats we been dealt? And I didn’t pray my way through those threats, either. I had to get up and do it myself. I had so much to do I ain’t have time to pray … Look at where I’m at today.”
Earlier this week, Yeezy and Ty Dolla $ign made headlines when they released several songs from their Vultures 2 album through unconventional methods.
Those expecting to find the songs on streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music were disappointed, but multiple tracks were available on TikTok and Instagram.
As noticed by several Kanye fan accounts, “River” featuring Young Thug and Leon Bridges and the Backstreet Boys-sampling “Everybody” were available to stream on the social media platforms and could be added as tracks to posts.
Further songs from Vultures 2 were also available including “Worship,” “Promotion” featuring Future, the James Blake-assisted “Slide” and “Field Trip,” which is said to feature Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, Lil Durk and Don Toliver. As of publishing, previews of the songs are still available to use.
God values us so much that He gave us all that He has; His Son Jesus. Show that you value Him, too, by putting Him first in all aspects of your life. Lord, when I put You first in my life, order and peace follow.
Faith without works is dead… Simple concept.. Every person in the Bible had to do the work.. I can do ALL things through christ and etc… All work related.. The prayer is for strength and the ability to endure the work and the things that come with it.
On point
Well, if the religion were honest about the usefulness of prayers, letting people know that prayers won’t solve the problem, but give strength and ability to endure as thy solve the problems themselves, then maybe people would know how to mange their expectations.
You can have works without faith though..The concept of God is a childish fantasy.
Well,
hundreds os Ms & your prayers werent answered? kill yo self & study the black panther party n actually put in work you dont need massas capital no more genius
Prayer never worked for nothing because god is an imaginary figure. A crutch for fools who just can’t believe there is death after life. Weak simpletons believe in a god. Strong people do not live on their knees for a fantasy figure.
You might be right. But the truth is, you have to die to actually know what you’re talking about. Just like the people you’re ridiculing.
God dont like ugly.
This jesus christ. How dare he not respond to the great ye?!!!??!
I thought he walked with him. I guess he’s done some things to make Jesus walk away.

Jesus doesn’t preach hate, maybe that’s why your calls go unanswered. Carry on!!!
Ye is a joke. It’s not all about you so stupid. He is a hypocrite and clueless to God’s timing not his! That’s why shit happens to you! Grow up and be accountable for your own dumb decisions. Quit blaming others for your own failures and mistakes! Your mouth was the cause of your problems.
The truth set you free but lost it all! You not a Christian just a devil in disguise 🥸
