Kanye West has made it clear for the last several of his albums that he’s not afraid to risk it all and step outside of the box musically. Although his addiction to taking risks has been successful in the past, Kanye’s latest album “Yeezuz” has been struggling in sales. Although Kanye was able to go gold with “Yeezus,” it took a lot longer than he thought it would and even rap’s newest golden child J. Cole has outsold Kanye with his latest album “Born Sinner” and he did so even though he didn’t have half of the marketing budget Kanye did. As a result of Kanye’s slow album sales, industry insiders have pretty much labeled Kanye’s latest album a disappointment, especially since all the controversy surrounding the album’s name didn’t translate into album sales.
As a result of the album’s name and Kanye’s bold decision to refer to himself as a god, Kanye has managed to anger a lot of people. Some people flat-out take Kanye’s self-proclaimed god status to mean he’s no longer a Christian (Kanye did put his love for Jesus on display on his debut album “The College Dropout”). So it’s no surprise so many people were shocked he said in his interview with Kim Kardashian’s mother Kris Jenner that he is a Christian and wants to raise his daughter North with Christian values. He even said he wears a “What Would Jesus Do?” bracelet quite a bit and it helps him keep his relationship with God in tact.
Actress Meagan Good has been very public on her restored relationship with God and she even married big time pastor DeVon Franklin. After she posted the clip of Kanye talking to Kris Jenner about his love for God, her followers began to slam her on Twitter for writing “Kanye loves Jesus.” After the negative tweets came in, Meagan decided she had enough and tweeted the following (read from bottom to top):
Meagan also told her followers the constant judging she sees people invoke on others is one reason she doesn’t follow religion and instead seeks to keep a spiritual relationship with God in tact instead. Meagan also says she thinks Kanye is misunderstood and he’s really trying to get back on track with God.
Check out the clip she posted that caused all the drama below:
I don’t even think people don’t like Kanye because of Yeezus thing that much, he’s just really annoying and acts like a brat. That’s a huge turn off.
I guess this is what Meagan does all day since her show was cancelled.
I don’t understand why people can’t have opinions. When you put out a strong idea out like you believing you’re a god, you can’t expect everyone to think that’s a cool concept. And Kanye likes to do everything for shock value, and it’s just annoying. I like Meagan and respect her opinion, but I can’t ride with her on this one. I can understand why Kanye gets the criticism he does.
Meagan went from being fine as hell to annoying as hell.
Well we are all hypocrites anyway so I don’t see what the big deal is?
*Ignores those tweets completely* So now Kanye’s a Christian? *blank stare*
So now people can’t call out Kanye for his queen antics. Okay Meagan, whatever you say boo.
Meagan Good isn’t very smart I see. Why is she attaching herself to Kanye controversy people are already not sold on her being first lady material. I’m not saying she is wrong but she needs to be smart and not give people motives to attack her.
As annoying as Kanye is, Meagan is 100% right. We can have our opinions, but we can’t act like we really know what’s in Kanye’s heart or where he’s going to end up when he dies. Only God knows those things.
I just do not see the value in Meagan Good going out and throwing her opinion about Kanye out in public like she did. She is honestly an easy target for those that love being critical of celebrities.
Isn’t she a First Lady? Kind off too late to say you don’t do religion boo. You married a pastor. LOL.
Sigh…I wish Meagan would stop this Twitter preaching she does. Its just too much. She’s just as annoying as the Facebook preachers.
If Kanye is still really a Christian, he would never would have rested on his laurels and morals for the fame and fortune he received. He along with Meagan and most celebrities need to go take a chill pill and have a seat.
Real Christians don’t listen to Kanye West’s music!
