On the eve of West’s new gospel album “Jesus Is King,” which is expected to drop in one form or another this weekend following his latest “Sunday Service” performance, the online Christian community has revived its sermon against the 42-year-old rapper’s co-opting of their culture.
Hundreds of hellfire-haters are firing up the Twitterverse — but the controversy about West’s invocation of religious imagery in his work has been around since the early 2000s, critic and self-proclaimed Christian Charlene Kaleina, of Connecticut, tells The Post.
Kaleina, 68, says her faith is constantly mocked “because of the strange and weird behavior of people like this man.”
“He may be trying to understand Jesus in his own limited way and we cannot judge another’s soul,” the commercial real estate professional tells The Post. “People who follow Christ sense something is not right with this scene.”
“The way he talks about women in his other/recent albums, I’m skeptical he knows the gospel,” writes one Twitter critic.
“Is Christ really at the center of this gathering? I’m not sure he is.”
