Kanye West brought a Saturday edition of his Sunday Service event to Salt Lake City yesterday (October 5), and took the opportunity to slam social media.
The rapper was supposed to drop his new album ‘Jesus Is King’ last Sunday (September 29), but as of yet it still hasn’t arrived.
After a series of ‘Jesus Is King: A Kanye West Experience’ events in Detroit, New York and more, where the rapper played the album in full for fans, he’s gone back to hosting Sunday Service.
At the Salt Lake City event, which was reportedly attended by between 7,000 and 10,000 fans, Kanye reaffirmed his support for the Republican Party and President Trump, talking about how they were the party to abolish slavery.
“I ain’t never made a decision only based on my color. That’s a form of slavery, mental slavery,” Kanye said. Watch footage below.
