Kanye West Tells Nicki Minaj, “I’m Now A Born-again Christian”

The hip-hop and fashion trailblazer recently disclosed that his submission and radical obedience to Jesus Christ has been instrumental in his mental health journey.





Nicki Minaj, while hosting “Queen Radio” on Apple Music, said West told her he turned to God after being hospitalized and diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016. She made the announcement during a discussion about faith in the entertainment industry with special guest Chance The Rapper, who recently went on a sabbatical to “learn the Word of God.”

Kanye West Says ‘Radical Obedience To Christ’ Got Him Through His Mental Illness

In  2016, West checked himself into a Los Angeles hospital which caused him to cancel his tour at the time due to mental illness.
When asked how he came back from that difficult season, West told Forbes it was “being in service to Christ, the radical obedience” that got him through.

West recently began Sunday Service meetings — which his wife, Kim Kardashian West, described as a “spiritual Christian experience” — this year. As of now, the events happen every Sunday and include gospel music but omit preaching.

“I had the idea of making a church before but I really was sketching it out. Then in 2019, I was like I’m not letting a Sunday go by without making this,” West said on the season finale of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” in June.
