Pay to Pray: Live Stream of Kanye West’s Sunday Service Featured SHOP Link to Buy His Jesus is King Merchandise

Share

See that photo? That’s a screen grab of Kanye West’s Sunday Service, going on right now in New York. You’ll see Kanye on the left listening to the speaker. And in black letters right at the bottom of the screen there’s the word SHOP. It’s a link to kanyewest.com, to the shopping page, where you can buy cheap, ugly t shirts that read “Jesus is King,” for 50 clams.

All during this time, we are anticipating the launch of Kanye’s new album, which was going to be released this past Friday. It was postponed til today. So far, nothing has arrived.

News of Kanye’s activities are not coming from him anymore. He hasn’t Tweeted since January 1st, 2019. No, for safety’s sake, news comes from @TeamKanyeDaily or on his wife’s account. She released a track listing yesterday for the new album.

The SHOP button is too hilarious. Doesn’t that just give away the whole purpose of this thing? The religion is Kanye. It’s all about getting money to him. The sneakers don’t sell. The old music was full of samples he had to pay for. So now he’s using one of the two oldest tricks in the book to fill his coffers.
