Breaking News:We Got a Problem’: Kanye West Slammed for Calling Himself ‘God’ In Shocking Interview and Seemingly Abandoning His Beliefs

Former billionaire and serial creative Kanye West has shared more of his polarizing and controversial views, but this time he’s telling the world that he now sees himself as God.

The once self-identified Christian, who even produced an opera titled “Mary” at Lincoln Center based on the Nativity, appeared on Justin Laboy’s new podcast,

He wove his deification delusion into the conversation often, first mentioning it during a conversation regarding the Black vote. He would return to his God complex theme while talking about his success or how Drake “signed his soul to the devil.”

“We got a problem with his political opinion, he’s out of control, he’s bipolar, he’s anti-Semit — whatever they want to call somebody to try to get people to not listen or take away the influence,” West told the podcast host.

“I’m God, you know what I’m saying? I’m back here again. I’m letting y’all know what it is it’s like it’s not,” he said within 14 minutes of the interview. “I’ve returned.”

Laboy says, “There you have it, Ye is the GOAT,” to which Yeezy quickly responded, “Just change the ‘AT’ to a ‘D,’” spelling God.

The host says, “Hold up,” and starts nervously laughing.

Initially, it seemed that Kanye used the divine name colloquially, joking that rappers like Rick Ross, “They call me, you know. I’m sitting up there sitting in heaven and s—t and then they say ‘God, Come hop on this and s—t,’ and it’s like here we go, the voice of God.”

But then the former Roc-A-Fella artist seemed to stray from his Christian roots that were on display when he launched his Sunday Service series in 2019. While talking about the reason why he dropped his new single “Vultures” on Feb. 10, 2024, he explained that he chose that day because “astrology” told him that “was a good date.”

“You just can’t deny astrology. People gone give you all these dates for whatever religion they want to shove on us and sh-t, but you just can’t just follow the dates when God s—t come… that’s what it is,” he said.

When asked if he has a goal to ever perform at the Super Bowl, yet again the “I Am a God” rapper said something that many Christians would consider it blasphemous, asking, “Who sets the goals? Who says you want to be like Christ or Mike?”

By the end of the interview, West, a father of four, insisted that he really was the divine one, removing all speculation.

“I’m going just tell you some real simple s—t. God runs the world. I am God. I run the world. Let me make that very clear, all right,” the “College Dropout” said in part.

The Shade Room did an audit of all the times he said he was God, and many of that outlet’s 29.2 million followers were outraged.

“How did you come from praising God to you being God ? Bro don’t play with GOD,” one comment read.

Singer Tyrese checked in writing, “It was really nice knowing you bro,” while one person added, “This is not the same Kanye who accepted Jesus.”

The criticism also leaked onto X, where one user said, “He was once a God’s child, his devoted follower but now he has abandoned his beliefs. RIP Kanye West I hate this Ye West guy.”

“KANYE WEST CLAIMS THE KINGDOM AS HIS. YE, YOU CRIED WHEN YOU RAN FOR #President. GOD WOULDN’T ALLOW THAT TO BE SO, YEAH YOU THE GOD OF THE #rap #Industry BUT, NOT A BLACK LEADER,” one person tweeted.

“Dear @kanyewest , YOU AIN’T GOD BRUH!!” another X user wrote.
