The Kanye Story - 7. Jesus is King and I wanna be the President
Download 7. Jesus is King and I wanna be the President
Mobeen and guests tell the next part of the Kanye Story. He announces online that he is now ‘Ye’ and is very public about his Christianity. He asks those working on his album to avoid premarital sex. He buys a ranch in Wyoming, visits Donald Trump and formally announces he’s standing for President.
What took Kanye West from hit-maker to a political agitator, spreading anti-Jewish hate? And where does he go next? Mobeen explores the rapper's rise and fall.
