Kanye West Opens Up About 'Jesus Is King' & His New Outlook: 'My Job Is to Spread the Gospel'

Kanye West is getting candid about his new path in life.

The 42-year-old Ye rapper spoke to Zane Lowe as part of Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio on Thursday (October 24).

During their conversation, Kanye discussed his upcoming Jesus Is King album and film and explained how he foresees his new path in life.

“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. 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,” he said.

“I’m free. The most space that I had to think is when I went to the hospital. 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.”
