In a recent interview with rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, he expressed some controversial thoughts about his relationship with Jesus.
During the interview conducted by radio personality Big Boy and posted on his Big Boy TV YouTube channel, Ye stated that he has “issues with Jesus” and prefers to take matters into his “own hands” rather than giving Jesus full control.
Ye went on to criticize American Christians for not being proactive enough and relying too heavily on prayer rather than taking action to help others. He emphasized the importance of physical action in making positive changes in the world.
The rapper also asserted that he sees himself as the “god” of himself, claiming that his success in the music industry is a result of his own actions and decisions.
These comments from Ye have sparked reactions from Christians online, especially given his previous embrace of Christianity and release of the album “Jesus is King” in 2019. However, his recent statements and controversial album release have raised eyebrows and led to criticism from some in the Christian community.
Ye’s new album, “Vultures 1,” features explicit language and themes of sexual violence, with a track titled “Carnival” causing particular controversy. This album, a collaboration with rapper Ty Dolla $ign, has further fueled the debate surrounding Ye’s beliefs and actions.
Ye’s comments in the interview have stirred up a mix of reactions, with some questioning his faith and others defending his right to express his beliefs.
The debate surrounding Ye’s views on Jesus and his self-proclaimed status as a “god” is likely to continue in the coming weeks.
