Kanye Omari West is an American rapper, business entrepreneur, fashion designer, and husband to reality television star, Kim Kardashian (a.k.a. Yeezy) has flirted with Christianity in the past, but in 2019 when he announced his faith in Jesus there was something different, something that at least on the surface seemed real and genuine to many in the watching world. As the months passed, the way that Kanye is publicly living out his Christian faith, has caused some Christians to celebrate and has caused others a fair bit of concern.
