KANYE WEST ALMOST QUIT RAPPING BUT WAS SAVED BY PASTOR ADAM

As material life and fame consumed Ye, he had a moment of epiphany, as he
revealed on the Joe Rogan Experience
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxOeWuAHOiw] in 2020. He was in massive debt as
well. Ye talked about his music and how the industry made him feel low. He
revealed he wasn’t sure if he would continue producing music. One day during his
Sunday service, Ye was in his place playing monk-like tunes, and Pastor Adam
visited him. As Ye talked about his dilemma, Pastor Adams said, “I wanna hear Ye
do a rap album about Jesus.”



However, Ye didn’t like to be told by anyone what he should make. But he
listened to Pastor Adam because he said it was his son’s wish. The rapper was
ready to listen to the kids before he would listen to super-programmed adults.
Specifically, those adults who hadn’t done something that Ye was looking to do.
And this is how he got the inspiration to continue with his music. Ye claimed he
had a deep connection with God. And he believed God was talking to him to make
music for those who want to serve the Supreme power.



This was a paradigm shift for the rapper, and he created an album ‘Jesus is
King’. It was the ninth studio album that was pretty unusual from his work. Ye
himself described the album as ‘an expression of the gospel’. As the rapper was
under the influence of God, he created an album that people could listen to with
their families. During this conversation with Joe Rogan, he also said it was the
first album of this kind he had ever created. Keeping Christianity as the
central theme, Ye released the album in October 2019.
