Kanye West continues to be one of the most controversial artists in music. The rapper is known for getting on the stage and ranting when he feels like it in the middle of a performance, not to mention wearing some rather interesting fashion ensembles which as of late, consists of bizarre masks and leather kilts. Then of course there’s the recent episode which includes screaming on stage, followed by a dramatic drop of the mic. And when Kanye’s not confusing his fans with his eccentric on stage behavior, the rapper is also going off in his interviews and making it clear that he feels he is and will always be one of the top rappers in the game. Kanye recently blamed his romance on Kim Kardashian for not making the top spot on MTV Hottest MCs List, but nowadays it seems like he’s causing more controversy for his rumored next album title I Am God.
Although it’s already been confirmed that the rapper is not naming his next album I Am God, despite the claims made by several reports; people in Kanye’s circle are doing more damage control and told The Huffington Post that Kanye would never be so bold to call himself God. Instead they tell the publication that Kanye has a single entitled “I Am A God.” The source says:
“We would never be so presumptuous or sacrilegious to call ourselves the supreme being.”
The source also hinted that the song title is in reference to bible verse Psalm 82:
I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.
But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.
“We would never be so presumptuous or sacrilegious to call ourselves the supreme being.” – LOL, sure.
That’s one of my favorite scriptures…
Ditto.
Damage control? When did Kanye start caring what other people think and responding to backlash? Interesting.
LOL exactly.
I agree. When did ‘Ye start doing damage control? Let me find out someone told him to sit down somewhere and he’s actually doing it. Doubt it tho.
I guess. He just needs to make sure he puts out some quality music. His new stuff has been trash lately. Lyrics too.
Well he’s NOT God. And his music isn’t all that good anymore. He could use a little bit of humility. Him and his baby mama are annoying as hell.
Well he acts like he thinks he’s God. So the title name made sense…just seemed extremely possible.
He’s still on this? I thought it was confirmed it wasn’t true and everyone was moving on.
