Kanye West has found himself the subject of countless controversies that range from the uninformed comments he made about slavery to his unapologetic support of Donald Trump, but recently the rapper has been trying his hand at ministering to the elite. One viral Twitter thread questioned whether the Yeezy’s latest ascension into the divine is merely a way to sell the Black church experience to his devoted, wealthy, non-white fans.
Since the very first Sunday of 2019, West and his social media mogul wife, Kim Kardashian, have given up snippets of what West has called his Sunday Service. What we know so far about the service is that it is invite-only and it is definitely not an invitation that is easy to come by as the likes of pop singers Katy Perry and Courtney Love have attended. It’s been held both indoors and outside and described as musical worship. A Black choir performs mostly West’s own songs and in a lot of the videos, you can see mostly white attendees looking on.
Kardashian and her family have boasted in interviews that the service is “about feeling” and less about sermons. And though there are people who have watched short videos of the exclusive service, the whole idea of it has not sat right with some.
“Does anyone else find it idk….f**ing weird….that kanye and kim are making the black church experience into some exclusive thing where ~white~ people go and stand around & record bc it’s like *fascinating* or something….this feels weird,” one user wrote.
