Kanye West, now known as Ye, has stirred controversy with his recent comments in an interview with Big Boy TV. During the 80-minute interview with Ty Dolla Sign, the rapper discussed various topics, with a significant focus on religion. West, who has embraced religion in recent years through albums like Donda and Jesus is King, admitted to having 'issues with Jesus' and expressed frustration with the concept of solely relying on prayer.

Furthermore, West made controversial statements about his self-perception, claiming to be 'God' and asserting his authority over his own identity. These remarks have sparked condemnation from various individuals, with some questioning West's adherence to Christian beliefs and expressing disappointment in his statements.
Despite the backlash, West also discussed the influence of his daughter North on his life and asserted his impact on the music industry by claiming to have 'invented every style of music of the past 20 years.'
The interview has generated mixed reactions, with some viewers expressing disbelief at West's statements and others defending his right to self-expression. The rapper's comments have reignited discussions about his evolving beliefs and public persona.
As the interview continues to provoke debate, it remains to be seen how West's remarks will shape public perception and impact his career moving forward.
