Not the same. They aren’t looking to inject money for the sake of art. They are looking to EXPLOIT to gain dollars and tax exemptions.

When the scandal broke out over the $55 breakfast I had to wonder if one of the girls didnt have a financial stake. The catering company was quick to point out that it was all their fault and not Kanye’s fault.

Still, Kanye may very well believe in what he is doing.

Yeah. I don’t get the sense that we the listening public are necessarily being exploited just because a Gospel CD ends up being lucrative and exempt from taxes or something. If anything, this sends a message to other artists that market success and incorporating faith are not mutually exclusive.

i know that Chick- Fil-A has appreciated the free marketing Kanye has given them via the song “Closed on Sundays.” LoL 🐣 The lyrics begin with “Closed on Sundays. You’re my Chick-Fil-A.”

And re: Kanye’s mental health. Yes it is a lifelong battle that numerous people of note especially artists have to grapple with. Even people of faith. And I think that’s why his music means so much right now to people suffering, especially young people. Despite his fame and fortune, they can relate to Kanye’s frailties.

So, you're a mind reader now? What's wrong with you? They're not becoming Christians the RummyChick proper way? Too outspoken for you? Tell us, oh wise one, just how should he be doing things the Pharisee way?

I'm pronouncing him innocent until proven guilty rather than guilty until he can prove his innocence. Maybe you should learn the meaning of giving a new Christian Grace & Mercy! After all, I'm sure you want those in your life from God.
