Kanye may have written “Jesus Walks” but its pretty evident from this egotistical, post-Coachella display that he dared to call “Sunday Service”, that the Savior Himself probably stopped walking with the former MAGA beat-maker. After all, it is quite strange to take seriously the “worship” of God from someone who calls himself “Yeezus”.

Resurrection Sunday of this year, Kanye and clan, including the ever attention seeking Kardashian/Jenner family, made their way, wearing clothes that look like they were white but someone dropped a red sock in the wash, to a hill where Kanye revealed his Sunday Service choral experience. The same day many of us were gathering to celebrate the truth of the risen Savior, the same day over 300 people died and countless others were injured in church bombings in Sri Lanka, the same month 3 Black Churches were burned down by a White Terrorist, Kanye decides to put Black Christianity on display for the mostly wealthy White audience of Coachella to see.

According to NBCNews, the weekly services are invite-only, require attendees to sign a non-disclosure agreement despite being able to post service across social media. West took this service to Coachella, where some 50,000 people supposedly attended during the first weekend of this year’s music festival.
